New Study Confirms Einstein's Theory of General Relativity on Cosmic Scale

Researchers using DESI data affirm general relativity, challenging alternate gravity theories.

  • The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has provided compelling evidence supporting Einstein's theory of general relativity across vast cosmic scales.
  • The study analyzed data from nearly 6 million galaxies and quasars, tracing the universe's structure over the past 11 billion years.
  • Findings from DESI refute several alternate theories of gravity, including Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), which sought to explain cosmic expansion without dark matter or dark energy.
  • The research also places new constraints on the mass of neutrinos, narrowing the potential range for these elusive particles.
  • DESI's ongoing mission aims to map 40 million galaxies and quasars, with future results expected to further illuminate the nature of dark energy and cosmic expansion.
