Revolutionary Study Challenges Existence of Dark Matter, Proposes Universe is Twice as Old

A new study led by physicist Rajendra Gupta introduces the CCC+TL model, suggesting dark matter may not be necessary to explain the universe's behavior.

  • Rajendra Gupta's research combines covarying coupling constants and 'tired light' theories to challenge the need for dark matter in explaining the universe.
  • The CCC+TL model, tested against various cosmological observations, suggests the universe could be as old as 26.7 billion years, doubling previous estimates.
  • Gupta's findings, based on data from the James Webb Space Telescope, question the conventional models of the universe's composition and expansion.
  • The study, published in The Astrophysical Journal, has sparked debate among cosmologists over the existence of dark matter and the age of the universe.
  • Critics argue extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, signaling a potential shift in our understanding of the universe's fundamental properties.
