Dark Energy Discoveries Poised to Ignite Interest in Modern Physics

Quick summary:

• In 1998, astronomers discovered that the expansion of the universe was accelerating over time, contrary to previous understandings of space-time’s growth.
• This phenomenon, known as the “cosmic acceleration problem,” raised questions about what causes this acceleration, seemingly coming from vacuum energy.
• General relativity suggests that empty space-time contains energy driving this expansion.
• The revelation has spurred ongoing investigations into dark energy and its impact on the universe’s dynamics.
