Is the universe slowing down? A new theoretical model based on data from DES and DESI suggests that dark energy—the mysterious force behind cosmic expansion—might not be constant after all. Instead, it may be weakening over time. If true, this could signal the return of the Big Crunch: a scenario where the universe stops expanding in about 7 billion years, then begins collapsing, ending all of space and matter in roughly 33.3 billion years.

The model includes an ultra-light axion particle and a negative cosmological constant—both speculative but mathematically valid. What makes this theory exciting is that it’s testable. With missions like Euclid and the Rubin Observatory, we may find out if the universe is indeed heading toward its end.

Voyager 1's weak signal is still detectable from billions of kilometers away—and could theoretically be tracked from nearly a light-year. Scientists now believe Earth may be visible to alien civilizations through everyday tech like radar and cell towers. Are we already heard across the stars?

NASA just recorded a colossal solar eruption on July 15, carving a 250,000-mile-long “canyon of fire” into the Sun. While the resulting CME isn’t headed toward Earth, this event signals rising solar activity as we near the 2025 solar maximum. Here’s what happened—and why it matters.
