Early dark energy could resolve cosmology's two biggest puzzles

Summary

Nutrition label

79% Informative

Early dark energy could resolve cosmology's two biggest puzzles in cosmology.

In the universe's first billion years, this brief and mysterious force could have produced more bright galaxies than theory predicts.

The force could also explain the baffling number of bright galaxies that astronomers have observed in the early universe.

MIT team developed an empirical framework for early galaxy formation, which predicts the number, luminosity, and size of galaxies that should form in the early universe.

The team reasoned that if early dark energy affects the universe's early expansion rate, in a way that resolves the Hubble tension, then it could increase the number of bright galaxies that appear at early times.
