"1% gravity deficit challenges Einstein's theory of general relativity."

Business Insider May 20, 2024, 05:00 PM UTC

Summary: Recent research suggests a 1% gravity deficit at large scales challenges Einstein's theory of general relativity. This "cosmic glitch" could help explain discrepancies in the universe, like the Hubble Tension. While not definitive, the study hints at the need to rethink gravity on a larger scale. Further investigation with the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument may provide more insights. Scientists urge openness to unconventional ideas.
