During a recent study on the universe’s expansion rate, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has discovered “something weird” is happening in outer space.
“The cause of this discrepancy remains a mystery,” NASA said in a statement. “But Hubble data, encompassing a variety of cosmic objects that serve as distance markers, support the idea that something weird is going on, possibly involving brand new physics.”
So what is going on? The universe is, according to the data, expanding at a faster rate than anticipated, based on observations made earlier on in time. It is worth noting these observations are rooted in the so-called “Big Bang Theory,” which is — to many — at odds with the story of creation as detailed in the Old Testament book of Genesis.
