Universe Expansion Theory Reframes Cosmology with Dimmer Supernovae
New findings prompt a rethink of how we measure the cosmos A team from Yonsei University in South Korea has proposed a provocative twist on the classic story of how our universe expands. By asking a simple question — could some Type Ia supernovae be naturally dimmer than others? — the researchers argue that the…

New Theory of Universe Expansion May Upend How We Look at the Cosmos
Rethinking Standard Candles in Cosmology For decades, astronomers have relied on Type Ia supernovae as standard candles—cosmic beacons whose brightness helps measure distances across the expanding universe. This method underpins calculations of the Hubble constant, the rate at which the cosmos stretches. Yet recent work from researchers at Yonsei University in South Korea challenges a…

Dimmer Supernovae May Rewrite Our Universe’s Expansion
New Theory Challenges a Cornerstone of Cosmology A provocative new study from Yonsei University in South Korea asks a deceptively simple question: what if some supernovae are naturally dimmer than others? The team’s hypothesis is that the brightness of certain Type Ia supernovae—the standard candles astronomers rely on to measure cosmic distances—depends on the age…
