New Study Suggests Black Holes May Generate Dark Energy

Researchers propose that black holes could be driving the universe's expansion by producing dark energy, supported by recent observational data.

Dark energy, which constitutes about 70% of the universe, is believed to drive its accelerated expansion, but its origin remains a mystery.
A recent study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics suggests a link between black holes and dark energy.
Using data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), researchers found that the density of dark energy increases in correlation with the number and mass of black holes over time.
The theory posits that the collapse of massive stars into black holes could reverse the inflationary conditions of the early universe, generating dark energy.
Further research is needed to validate these findings and explore the potential impact on resolving the 'Hubble tension,' a discrepancy in the measured expansion rates of the universe.
