Scientists Think Dark Energy Might Be Just an Illusion

Dark energy and matter, two hot-button subjects of physics that have captivated and stumped enthusiasts and experts alike. Since its discovery in 1998, dark energy has been a subject of extensive study and confusion. Theoretically comprising approximately 68% of the known universe, this mysterious form of energy is said to be accelerating the expansion of the Universe.
