"Yes, it appears there is something missing in our understanding of the universe," added Riess, a 2011 Nobel laureate in physics for the co-discovery of the universe's accelerating expansion.
For years, scientists have been troubled by an unusual feature of our universe. It appears to be expanding faster today than it did in the past
Areas where the spiral galaxies may have ‘slammed’ together are seen in chilling detail
Up until the discovery of JADES-GS-z13-0 in 2022 by the James Webb Space Telescope, GN-z11 was the oldest and most distant known galaxy yet identified in the observable universe, [7] having a spectroscopic redshift of z = 10.957, which corresponds to a proper distance of approximately 32 billion light-years (9.8 billion parsecs).
The four-dimension universe lies on one of the branes. The collision corresponds to the Big Crunch, then a Big Bang. The matter and radiation around us today are quantum fluctuations from before the branes. After several billion years, the universe has reached its modern state, and it will start contracting in another several billion years.
The universe also has vast regions of relative emptiness; the largest known void measures 1.8 billion ly (550 Mpc) across. [114] Comparison of the contents of the universe today to 380,000 years after the Big Bang, as measured with 5 year WMAP data (from 2008). [115] Due to rounding, the sum of these numbers is not 100%.
