It's hard to get a sense of the scale of the universe from our little corner of it, but scientists realized decades back that the universe is expanding. This naturally led to questions about the ...

For decades, astronomers have relied on Einstein’s theory of relativity to explain the expansion of the universe, assuming that dark energy—a mysterious force making up 70% of the cosmos—remains ...
