Groundbreaking Survey Suggests Dark Energy May Not Be Constant

Preliminary data from the largest 3-D cosmic map challenges the long-held belief that dark energy is an unchanging force, hinting at a dynamic universe.

New data from the largest 3-D map of the universe suggests dark energy may not be a constant force, challenging previous scientific understanding.
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has created the most detailed 3-D map to date, looking back 11 billion years and covering 600,000 galaxies.
Preliminary findings hint at dark energy evolving and weakening over time, which could revolutionize our understanding of the universe's expansion.
The revelation that dark energy might change over time is based on DESI's first-year data, but further research is needed for confirmation.
This discovery opens the door to a potentially deeper understanding of the universe, marking the beginning of what is described as the 'golden era of cosmology'.
