Unknown physics may help dark energy act as 'antigravity' throughout the universe

Dark energy is the placeholder name for whatever is accelerating the expansion of the universe.

It is thought to account for around 70% of the cosmos's total matter-energy budget.

A new analysis of astronomical data suggests unknown physics is at work assisting dark energy.

Researchers discovered these hints at new physics using data from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS).

Large-scale structures are even less common today than predicted by both the CDM model of cosmology and when dark energy is allowed to vary.

That implies something else, something new, is also at play, the identity of which is unknown.

This suppression seems to have kicked in around the same time dark energy came to dominate the universe.
