Is Dark Energy Getting Stronger?

Season 5 Episode 15 | 14m 31s

The power of Dark Energy may be increasing as the universe ages. Subtle clues are emerging that the accepted model for the nature of dark energy and dark matter may not be all that. We saw the first such clue recently in our recent episode on the Crisis in Cosmology. Today we’re doing a Space Time Journal Club to reveal another clue

Extras
The 2026 Nobel in Physics went to Dr. Halzen for turning Antarctica into a neutrino telescope.
Can adding every positive whole number really give you -1/12?
Gigantic black holes existed in a cosmic eyeblink after the Big Bang. That should be impossible.
It’s believed empty space can be crystalized and we may have observed this for the first time.
LIGO may have found an impossible black hole, hinting at primordial relics from the Big Bang.
A decade later, a leading theory may finally explain Tabby’s Star, the galaxy’s weirdest star.
DESI and DES studied dark energy. Together, what can they tell us?
Could sending a quantum twin across the galaxy make you both old and young at the same time?
It's possible that an event horizon is forming right behind and you won't know until its too late.
Are there no alien signals to find... or do we need to update how we search for them?
