Researchers propose an extended gravity theory called Finsler gravity that broadens spacetime geometry; when applied to the Friedmann equations, it naturally yields cosmic acceleration without a dark energy term, suggesting geometry could drive the universe’s speeding expansion.
A new study suggests that the accelerated expansion of the universe might be explained by an extension of general relativity called Finsler gravity, potentially eliminating the need for dark energy as the cause.
Sjors Heefer's Ph.D. research explores the implications of Finsler geometry on gravitational waves and spacetime, potentially reconciling general relativity with quantum mechanics. His findings suggest that our universe's spacetime may be better described by Finsler geometry rather than pseudo-Riemannian geometry, offering new insights into the nature of gravity and the structure of the universe.
