A new study has claimed that dark energy may have some connection to black holes with the latter responsible for expansion of universe.

The study posits that studying black holes could reveal the conditions which led to the emergence of dark energy.

Scientists analysed data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) -- made up of 5,000 robotic eyes mounted on the Mayall telescope

The scientists found that the density of dark matter increased over time which agrees with how the amount and mass of black holes increased as the universe aged.

Scientists said the two phenomena were consistent with each other which makes it more plausible that black holes are the source of dark energy.

Scientists believe that the findings of the study could lead to a renewed understanding of the universe and the true composition of black holes.

Whether black holes are dark energy has ceased to be just a theoretical question. This is an experimental question now.
