BREAKTHROUGH OF THE YEAR
> Astronomers peered deep into the universe and found that it is flying apart ever faster, suggesting that Einstein was right when he posited a mysterious energy that fills “empty” space
The nature and ultimate fate of the universe have preoccupied philosophers and scientists for centuries. Scientists discovered decades ago that the universe is now expanding, with its galaxies rushing apart in all directions. But the pull of gravity could slow that expansion, and so…

Abstract The discovery of Dark Energy and the fact that only about 5% of the mass of the universe can be explained on the basis of the current laws of physics have led to a serious impasse. Based on…
Cosmology with Coupled Gravity and Dark Energy

Dark energy is a fundamental constituent of our universe, its status in the cosmological field equation should be equivalent to that of gravity. Here we construct a dark energy and matter gravity…

Wolfgang Priester: from the big bounce to the $\Lambda$-dominated universe
- PhysicsNaturwissenschaften
- 2006
His contributions to cosmology will be most remembered for his association with quasars, his promotion of the idea of a nonsingular “big bounce” at the beginning of the current expansionary phase, and his recognition of the importance of dark energy well before this became the standard paradigm in cosmology.

The aether, proposed to be a subtle primordial substance, was once thought to permeate all space and provide a substrate through which electromagnetic waves, such as light, traveled. It is a powerful…
A simple Hubble-like law in lieu of dark energy

Within the frame of thecold dark matter paradigm, a dark energy component of unknown origin is expected to represent nearly 70% of the en- ergy of the Universe. Herein, a non-standard form of the…
Relativistic radial expansion: do we need dark energy?

The Hubble law, for which the radial expansion velocity is linear in the distance r, implies a visible Universe limited to a horizon at r = c/H. No information beyond this horizon can reach us. Here…

Some empirical evidences in favor of the hypothesis that the speed of light decreases by a few centimeters per second each year are examined. Lunar laser ranging data are found to be consistent with…
