This theory suggests that reality is not fully fixed in advance but becomes progressively defined through observation and interaction with gravitational potentials: Do decoherence, gravity, dark matter and dark energy all originate from quantum corrections?
* The author proposes that dark matter and dark energy are not physical substances, but rather effective phenomena arising from quantum corrections to gravity.
* Using the Wigner–Moyal equation, the study suggests that higher-order quantum terms act as additional forces depending on the observer's resolution of phase space.
* The research interprets "dark matter" as these quantum-corrected forces appearing in high-curvature environments like galaxies.
* The model accounts for "dark energy" by suggesting that reduced gravitational potential at cosmic distances causes a transition toward classical dynamics, mimicking accelerated expansion.
* This framework aims to explain relativistic effects and galactic rotation curves without invoking new particles or mathematical singularities.
Researchers have crafted a detailed string theory model compatible with the universe’s accelerated expansion, offering a potential solution to a long-standing problem in theoretical physics.
The first test images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory have captured light from millions of distant stars and galaxies, and are expected to reveal thousands of previously unseen asteroids. The observatory is expected to revolutionize our understanding of the universe.
Astrophysicists have detected subtle hints that the mysterious 'dark energy' that drives the universe's expansion may be slightly weakening over time.
