Dark Energy Survey Reveals New Insights Into the Accelerating Universe

<p>The history of dark energy can be traced back to the early 20th century, when&nbsp;<em>Albert Einstein</em>&nbsp;introduced the&nbsp;<em>cosmological constant</em>&nbsp;term in his theory of general relativity, in order to balance the attractive force of gravity and account for a static universe. However, after Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe is expanding, Einstein abandoned the cosmological constant, calling it his&nbsp;<em>&ldquo;greatest blunder&rdquo;</em>.</p> <p><em>In the late 20th century</em>, several observations, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation, the large-scale structure of the universe, and the&nbsp;<em>type Ia supernovae</em>, suggested that&nbsp;<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/0803.0982.pdf" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">the universe is not only expanding, but also accelerating</a>, implying the existence of a repulsive force that counteracts gravity on large scales.</p> <p><a href="https://www.cantorsparadise.com/dark-energy-survey-reveals-new-insights-into-the-accelerating-universe-f83da9e40597"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
