Physicists find little agreement on universe’s biggest questions
The largest-ever survey of physicists shows a distinct lack of consensus across many important questions, including the standard model of cosmology or ΛCDM, which did not attain majority support. Results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) last year hinted that dark energy may change over time, opposing the standard model’s conviction that dark energy remains constant.
The largest-ever survey of physicists reveals a surprising lack of consensus on fundamental questions, challenging established understandings of the universe. Led by Niayesh Afshordi of Perimeter Institute and the University of Waterloo, the study found that even the standard model of cosmology, ΛCDM, failed to achieve majority support, a result potentially influenced by recent data suggesting dark energy isn't…
