Dark Energy Discovery Wins Nobel Prize For Physics

The Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded to a trio af American astrophysicists for their discovery a faster-than-expected expansion of the universe.

By tracking the movements of distant supernovas, Saul Perlmutter, Brian Schmidt and Adam Reiss were surprised to see them rifting away faster than their models predicted. They realized there must be an unseen force accelerating them away after the Big Bang. This invisible energy is what we call dark energy, and it may make up as much as 3/4 of the mass-energy in the universe.
