Einstein called it his “biggest blunder.” Now a Berkeley Lab breakthrough is shedding light on the mysteries of dark energy and cosmic expansion

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has released new breakthrough findings on one of science’s biggest mysteries — one that Albert Einstein once called his “biggest blunder.”

In March, Berkeley Lab researchers presented data gathered from 14 million galaxies at the American Physical Society’s Global Physics Summit in Anaheim, which has ignited new theories on dark energy – once thought to be a universal constant like gravity – as an evolving form of matter linked to the accelerating expansion of the universe.
