Theory predicting an older universe without dark matter or dark energy passes key cosmological tests
Phys.org ·
The Brief
- An alternative cosmology model describes a universe 26.7 billion years old that needs neither dark matter nor dark energy.
- According to a University of Ottawa study, the model has held up against several major cosmology tests.
- The study is titled "A Big Bang Nucleosynthesis Consistency Test…".
Why it matters
It shows that a cosmological model without dark matter or dark energy can pass several established tests, which bears on how far the standard cosmological model is accepted as the only viable account.
