The universe is expanding faster than expected, and scientists have proven them wrong

This diagram provides an overview of local distance networks. The local distance network is the research team's new tool for integrating diverse measurements of the Hubble constant into a consistent and rigorous framework.

hubble tensionA stubborn contradiction between two methods of measuring the rate of expansion of the universe has long plagued modern physics. Some scientists had hoped that it would eventually resolve itself to measurement error. New findings suggest otherwise. To understand what’s at stake, we need to step back a little. In the 1920s, astronomer Edwin … Read more

Physicists witness dark needle traveling faster than the speed of light without violating the theory of relativity

An illustration shows swirling orange and blue holes against a glowing wall to the left.

Researchers have detected for the first time that voids in the sky are moving faster than people. speed of light And they broke the speed limit of the universe without breaking the theory of relativity. Recent studies have shown void acceleration. The researchers used recent advances in ultrafast electron microscopy to measure the voids of … Read more
