"AI Reveals Insights into the Enigma of Dark Energy"
The Dark Energy Survey, led by a UCL research team, has utilized AI and simulation techniques to double the precision of dark energy measurements, providing insights into the Universe's structure and potential new cosmological models. By inferring the influence and properties of dark energy from a map of dark and visible matter in the Universe, the study suggests that the matter in the Universe is more smoothly spread out than previously thought, challenging Einstein's theory of general relativity. The use of AI and simulations has allowed researchers to refine cosmological models and may lead to a better understanding of the unexpected smoothness of the Universe.
