Dark energy, the mysterious force thought to be driving the ever-faster expansion of the universe, appears to be changing over time, according to new observations released Wednesday.
If dark energy is in fact weakening, it would likely mean that science's understanding of how the universe works will need to be rewritten.
The new findings come from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

Researchers in Japan have leveraged advanced artificial intelligence to explore the distant regions of our galaxy, revealing previously undetected cosmic structures. Led by Osaka Metropolitan University, the team created a deep learning model capable of sifting through immense datasets from space telescopes, uncovering numerous bubble-like formations absent from existing astronomical records.
