New Research Suggests Dark Energy Is Evolving, Challenging Cosmology Models
- Wednesday March 26, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
New research from the DESI project suggests that dark energy, once thought to be a constant force, may actually be changing over time. This challenges long-held cosmological models that assume a stable influence of dark energy on the universe’s expansion. By mapping 15 million galaxies, DESI’s data raises new questions about cosmic evolution. S...
