Dark Energy Explained: Black Hole Breakthrough! Video Watch time Under 1 minute November 16, 2024 Image What do black holes have to do with the expansion of the universe? A study from 2023 showed a potential link between black holes and the production of dark energy, the force driving the expansion of the universe! This theory states that as the universe expands, black holes get stretched, which increases their mass through a process called cosmological coupling. This creation of mass in turn produces dark energy, an outward pressure which accelerates the expansion of the universe! Topics Space Sciences Women in STEM Share
