Signals of a Strange Universe
Seven years ago, new observations of distant supernovae suggested that most of the universe's energy is tied to space itself, not stars or galaxies. This implied a large cosmological constant, a concept that has existed since modern relativistic cosmology began. While not always popular with astronomers, this idea suggests a universe unlike what was previously understood.
