Scientists say dark energy, the mysterious force that's driving the expansion of the universe, may not actually exist.

Their research has brought into question one of the cornerstones of modern cosmology.

Their analysis suggests that what we perceive as acceleration might be an illusion caused by the large-scale structure of the cosmos.

The team plans to combine Pantheon+ data with data from Dark Energy Survey and baryon acoustic oscillations.

They are also conducting simulations of how voids expand under the framework of general relativity and exploring how these effects apply to galaxy formation and evolution.

"A strong competing framework will still enhance the future of cosmology," Lane said.
