The expansion of the universe could be a mirage, a potentially controversial new study suggests.
This rethinking of the cosmos also suggests solutions for the puzzles of dark energy and dark matter, which scientists believe account for around 95% of the total energy and matter in the universe but remain shrouded in mystery.
The novel new approach is detailed in a paper published June 2 in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, by University of Geneva professor of theoretical physics Lucas Lombriser.
They use gravitational waves and parallax as other sources of confirmation for expansion and I don’t see those mentioned or accounted for but I’m just a guy who reads science books for layman, what do I know…
I also don’t see, how this new model explains, that every galaxy but one moves away from us.
I think that they are saying that they aren’t moving away from us, the redshift is caused by this mass change effect not movement or acceleration.
OT but any good science book recommendations?
