Researchers propose a new way to construct a universe of dark energy, where our universe rides on an expanding bubble in an extra dimension. Our entire universe fits on the edge of the expanding bubble.
Uppsala University Researchers Propose a New Model
Researchers at Uppsala University have developed a new model of our universe to address the enigma of dark energy. The study suggests that our universe exists within an expanding bubble in an extra dimension, providing a novel perspective on the cosmos’s creation, evolution, and destiny.
The Accelerating Expansion of the Cosmos
Over the last 20 years, studies have shown that the cosmos is constantly expanding, and its expansion rate is accelerating. The prevailing explanation for this phenomenon involves dark energy, a mysterious form of energy that permeates all of space and drives the universe’s accelerated expansion. In physical cosmology and astronomy, dark energy is hypothesized to pervade all of space, fueling the expansion of the cosmos. This elusive dark energy raises more questions than it answers and often functions as a cosmic wildcard in theoretical physics explanations.
Introducing Extra Dimensions and Universes
To address the dark energy conundrum, researchers from Uppsala University have proposed a new concept involving an extra dimension and multiple universes. In their study, published in Physical Review Letters, the physicists suggest that our universe is “mounted” on an expanding bubble within an additional dimension. The entire universe is situated on the edge of this growing bubble, with all matter corresponding to the endpoints of strings extending into the extra dimension. The researchers also demonstrate that expanding bubbles like this can be generated within the framework of string theory.
A Multitude of Bubbles Representing Other Universes
The new model entertains the possibility of multiple bubbles, each representing a different universe. This innovative perspective on the cosmos’s creation and destiny eliminates the need for dark energy and offers a fresh avenue for testing string theory. As our understanding of the universe continues to evolve, this groundbreaking model provides a captivating and thought-provoking view of the cosmos in which we live.
