Dark energy remains a mystery. Maybe AI can help crack the code

by

As people struggle to understand dark energy, the mysterious force driving the accelerated expansion of the universe, scientists are beginning to wonder about something rather futuristic. Can computers do better? Well, initial results from a team that used artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to infer the influence of dark energy with unprecedented precision may suggest an … Read more

Ten-year Dark Energy Survey provides new insights into the expansion of the universe

by

A survey of more than 1,500 supernovae conducted by the Dark Energy Camera has placed strong constraints on the accelerating expansion of the universe. The results suggest that the mysterious force driving this cosmic acceleration, dark energy, can change over time and vary in density, challenging the standard model of cosmology.
