The expansion of the universe could be a mirage, a potentially controversial new study suggests.
This rethinking of the cosmos also suggests solutions for the puzzles of dark energy and dark matter, which scientists believe account for around 95% of the total energy and matter in the universe but remain shrouded in mystery.
The novel new approach is detailed in a paper published June 2 in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, by University of Geneva professor of theoretical physics Lucas Lombriser.
To be fair, “95% of the mass/energy in the universe is undetectable to us except for how they impact the movement of entities at a galactic scale” is kinda wild too.
