The why piece, however, remains more mysterious; most researchers agree that dark energy is responsible for our universe's ever-creeping growth, but dark energy has never actually been observed by science — so far, we've only been able to infer its existence by the […]

A new paper suggests we may finally be able to uncover the identity of dark matter using the same technology that detects ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves.

The universe is expanding faster and faster, but not all scientists agree that dark energy is the cause. Perhaps, instead, our universe keeps colliding with and absorbing smaller baby universes, a new theoretical study suggests.
