Researchers Propose 'Cosmic Glitch' in Gravity, Challenging Einstein's Theory

A new study suggests a slight modification to general relativity, potentially resolving long-standing cosmic mysteries.

  • Canadian physicists identify a 'cosmic glitch' that weakens gravity at vast distances, proposing a significant shift in understanding universal forces.
  • The modification, described as a 'footnote' to Einstein's theory, applies specifically to cosmic scales, where traditional models falter.
  • This groundbreaking research, based on decades of astronomical data, could explain the accelerating expansion of the universe.
  • The findings, published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, hint at a new era of theoretical physics.
  • Future observations and tests are anticipated to further validate this model, potentially revolutionizing our grasp of the cosmos.
