Is Space Sticky? New Study Challenges Standard Dark Energy Theory
New observations from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument are challenging the standard Lambda-CDM model of cosmology. A recent, still-unpublished hypothesis suggests that space itself may behave like a slightly viscous or “sticky” fluid, subtly affecting how the universe expands. By introducing a ghostly resistance to cosmic growth, the model could reconcile DESI’s data showing galaxies receding faster than expected. Scientists caution that further evidence from DESI and future missions such as Euclid is needed before drawing firm conclusions.
