    New Models of Cosmic Evolution: Rethinking Dark Energy and the Universe's Fate

    Full Unedited Interview: In this Bonus episode of SpaceTime, we delve into a revolutionary mathematical model that could reshape our understanding of the universe's evolution over the past 13.8 billion years. New Mathematical Model of the Universe Researchers have introduced a new model based on data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), aiming to simplify the complexities of cosmic evolution. Lead author Leonardo Gianni from the University of Queensland explains how this model addresses the large-scale structure of the universe, likening it to a cosmic web of galaxies and voids. The study explores the role of dark energy, originally proposed by Einstein, and its implications for cosmic expansion. Gianni's work challenges conventional views, suggesting that the universe's expansion may be influenced more by the varied structures within it rather than a uniform dark energy. Understanding Cosmic Structures Gianni's model provides a framework to quantify the interactions of voids and collapsing regions, offering insight into phenomena like Hubble tension—the disparity in measurements of the universe's expansion rate. By analysing the minimum sizes of these cosmic structures, the research reveals how they can impact cosmological measurements without invoking new physics. The findings highlight the importance of accurately interpreting the universe's complexity and its implications for understanding dark matter and dark energy. The Future of Cosmic Exploration As we continue to explore the universe, questions about its ultimate fate remain. Will it expand forever, slow down, or collapse again? Gianni discusses the evidence suggesting a potential "big freeze" scenario, where the universe keeps expanding, albeit at a decreasing rate. This episode invites listeners to ponder the intricate relationship between our cosmic environment and the fundamental laws of physics, emphasising the ongoing journey of discovery in the field of cosmology. www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com ✍️ Episode References Physical Review Letters https://journals.aps.org/prl/ Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument https://www.darkenergyspectroscopicinstrument.com/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

    Exoplanets Galore: Celebrating 6,000 Discoveries and Exploring Venus

    In this episode of SpaceTime, we celebrate a major milestone in exoplanet discoveries, unravel the enigmatic surface of Venus, and delve into the intriguing tale of interstellar comet 3I ATLAS. Exoplanet Count Surpasses 6,000 Astronomers have reached an impressive milestone, confirming their 6,000th exoplanet, a testament to the rapid pace of discoveries since the first detection of an exoplanet in 1995. This milestone not only highlights the evolving understanding of our galaxy but also raises questions about the myriad of planetary types discovered, from rocky planets to gas giants. While the hunt for Earth-like planets continues, the methods employed to discover these distant worlds remain a challenge, with fewer than 100 exoplanets directly imaged to date. The future holds promise with upcoming missions, including NASA's Nancy Chris Roman Space Telescope, which aims to further uncover the secrets of our cosmic neighbourhood. Decoding Venus's Mysterious Surface Scientists are making strides in understanding the peculiar features of Venus, particularly the crown-like structures known as coronae. A new study suggests these features may be the result of magma plumes attempting to break through the planet's crust. By mapping the paths of these magmatic bursts, researchers are shedding light on Venus's geological history and its stark contrast to Earth, despite their similarities in size and formation. The findings could help explain why Venus has become a hellish environment, devoid of life, while Earth thrives. Interstellar Comet 3I ATLAS Astronomers have captured stunning new images of interstellar comet 3I ATLAS, revealing a prominent tail and glowing coma as it journeys through the inner solar system. These observations provide valuable insights into the comet's composition and behaviour, suggesting that it shares similarities with comets originating from our own solar system. As 3I ATLAS approaches the Sun, its increasing activity offers a unique opportunity for scientists to study material that formed around distant stars. The comet is expected to re-emerge in November, promising further observations and discoveries. www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com ✍️ Episode References NASA Exoplanet Science Institute https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/ Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences https://www.pnas.org/ Gemini Observatory https://www.gemini.edu/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.
