Scientist suggests the expansion of the universe is a ‘mirage’

The expansion of the universe could be a ‘mirage’, according to a study led by Lucas Lombriser, professor of theoretical physics at the University of Geneva (Switzerland). The research also suggests that the nature of dark matter is hypothetical particles called axes. To date, scientists believe that dark matter and dark energy make up about 95% of all matter in the universe..

The study, published in the scientific journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, explains that many existing scientists believe that the universe is expanding more and more rapidly, mainly because of its redshift; however, this is the new theory of the idea.

More distant galaxies are recorded with more intense redshifts than those closer to planet Earth, suggesting that distance is one of the answers to the accelerating expansion of the universe. One explanation stems from Albert Einstein’s concept of the cosmological constant, but in the new study, scientists describe it as “the worst prediction in the history of physics” because the concept differs from actual observations.

What is redshift?

The redshift phenomenon is caused by the increasing space between galaxies and the stretching of the wavelength of light towards the infrared end of the light spectrum.

“In this work, we put on a new ‘glasses’ to study the universe and its unsolved puzzles and performed a mathematical transformation of the physical laws that govern it. I’m surprised that the cosmological constant problem seems to have disappeared in this new perspective on the cosmos.”

Isn’t the universe expanding?

As Lombriser explains, his new theory believes that the expansion of the universe is flat and static and not expanding as Einstein’s theory says. HE Scientist claims that effects suggesting the universe is expanding can be easily explained by ‘other lenses’: says, for example, that this expansion can be explained by the evolution of the masses of particles such as protons and electrons over time.

The cosmological constant proposes that particles emerge from a field that is in all of space-time with fluctuating particle masses. But in the commentary offered by Lombriser, These variations are not due to the expansion of the universe, but to the evolution of the masses of these particles over time.

The study suggests that the fluctuations are due to action fields, which are considered one of the possible explanations for dark matter. Even fluctuations could put an end to the dark energy theory, as it would be explained by the masses of the particles that followed a different path. So the study also suggests that there is no need for dark energy.
