NASA has no explanation for dark energy, the great mystery of science

Albert Einstein Develop him General theory of relativity to describe gravity So far, I’ve pinpointed everything from Mercury’s orbit to the presence of black holes.

But if you can’t do this theory Explain dark energySome scientists have claimed that some of its equations may need to be modified or new components added.

dark energy

The universe is expanding at an accelerating rate and Scientists do not know why. This phenomenon seems to contradict everything that researchers understand The effect of gravity on the universe: It’s like throwing an apple in the air and it keeps going up, faster and faster. The reason for the acceleration is called dark energyremains a mystery.

New research presented on August 23 at the International Conference on Particle Physics and Cosmology (COSMO’22) in Rio de Janeiro concludes that Einstein’s theory still works.

But there is still no explanation for dark energy. That is why it will perform two upcoming tasks: Euclid’s mission from the European Space Agency, which is scheduled to launch in 2023, which has contributions from NASA; and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope NASA, scheduled for launch in May 2027.

The goal of both missions is for telescopes to look for changes in the force of gravity over time or distance. And during these years of preparation, technological advances have been more subtle to give an answer.
