Research has proven the absence of dark matter and determined the real age of the Universe

The new composition of space changes the way scientists think

A new study changes the way scientists think about the Universe. Previously, it was believed that space consists of components such as matter and dark energies and matters. But now this model may change. A recent study from the University of Ottawa provides compelling evidence that dark matter may not have a place in the Universe.

Dark matter, a term used in cosmology, refers to an elusive substance that does not interact with light or electromagnetic fields and is identified only by its gravitational effects. Despite its mysterious nature, dark matter has been a fundamental element in explaining the behavior of galaxies, stars and planets.

The author of the new study, Rajendra Gupta, proposes the integration of two theoretical models: covariance coupling constants (CCC) and «light aging» ( TL), known together as the CCC+TL model.

This model explores the idea that natural phenomena decay over cosmic time and that light loses energy over vast distances. This theory has been extensively tested and is consistent with a variety of astronomical observations, including the distribution of galaxies and the evolution of light in the early Universe.

The new data challenges the generally accepted understanding that dark matter makes up approximately 27 percent of the Universe, while ordinary matter is less than 5 percent, and the rest is dark energy.

“The results of the study confirm our previous work, which suggested that the age of the Universe is 26.7 billion years, which denies the existence of dark matter,” explains Gupta. “Contrary to standard cosmological theories, which attribute the accelerated expansion of the universe to dark energy, our results indicate that this expansion is due to the weakening forces of nature, not dark energy.”

An integral part of Gupta's research was the analysis of the «Doppler effect» — a phenomenon in which light is shifted towards the red part of the spectrum. By studying redshift data, the astrophysicist makes a compelling argument against the existence of dark matter while remaining consistent with key cosmological observations.

“There are several papers that question the existence of dark matter, but mine is, to my knowledge, the first to rule out its cosmological existence while being consistent with key cosmological observations that we have had time to confirm,” the astrophysicist concludes.

Rajendra Gupta's groundbreaking research challenges the prevailing cosmological model by proposing a universe without the need for dark matter.

Dark matter remains one of the most mysterious aspects of the universe. Many scientists infer its presence from the gravitational effects it has on visible matter, radiation, and the large-scale structure of the Universe.

The dark matter theory arose from discrepancies between the observed mass of large astronomical objects and their calculated mass based on their gravitational effects. In the 1930s, astronomer Fritz Zwicky was one of the first to suggest that invisible matter could explain the «missing» mass in the Coma galaxy cluster. Since then, the evidence has continued to grow, including rotation curves of galaxies that indicate the presence of much more mass than can be explained by visible matter alone.

Scientists have developed several innovative methods for indirectly detecting dark matter. Experiments, such as those carried out using underground particle detectors and space telescopes, aim to observe the byproducts of dark matter interactions or annihilation.

CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is also looking for signs of dark matter particles when collisions of high energy particles. The quest to understand dark matter continues to drive advances in astrophysics and particle physics. Future observations and experiments may reveal the nature of dark matter, shedding light on this cosmic mystery.

As technology advances, there is hope of directly detecting dark matter particles or finding new evidence that could either confirm or challenge current theories about the composition of the Universe.

Essentially, dark matter theory emphasizes the quest to understand the vast, invisible components of the Universe.
