Scientists have made the most accurate measurement ever of the expansion of the universe – and found a very strange result indeed.
Nasa research used two space telescopes to determine exactly the growth rate of the universe. Discovering this important number could help to understand where the cosmos comes from and where it is going.
But the new precise measure leads to more confusion than it does. There seems to be a strange shift in the way the universe is developing – a discovery that might suggest that there is a whole new physics underlying the universe, which is waiting to be heard. to be found.

The mysterious results could be caused by dark matter, the dark energy being even more exotic than it is previously thought, or a new unknown particle in the "The tapestry of space", says NASA
Scientists have been trying for a long time to determine the growth rate of the universe – known as Hubble constant – as accurately as possible. The discovery of the speed with which it has developed since the big bang 13.8 billion years ago has helped to answer the most fundamental questions about the origin of the bang. universe and its evolution
But as the measurements became more precise, they also became more different. The results that result from the different ways of measuring the rate of expansion are at odds with each other.
Scientists were initially concerned that the discrepancy was the result of an error in one or more of the ways that they try. to measure the constant. But new research suggests that this is not the case, and that the measurements are correct, but that something undiscovered changes the way the universe develops.
A measurement comes from the Planck mission of ESA. 360,000 years after birth. By looking at this map, scientists can determine how quickly the universe has become what it is today.
But NASA's new research shows that the rate of expansion calculated from these data does not match that of the universe. see it around us. The Hubble Space Telescope's new data do not match the Planck mission's calculations
"The voltage seems to have become a total incompatibility between our views of the universe of time sooner and later," said L & # 39; team. Nobel laureate and chef Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science Institute and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. "At this point, it's clear that it's not just a gross mistake in a measure.
"It's as if you predict the size of a child from a growth chart and then that the adult greatly exceeded the prediction. We are very perplexed. "
