Did you knowNeural is taking the stage this fall?

And not a moment too soon, as many scientists believe this mysterious force isliterally ripping the universe apart.

Up front:Scientists believe the universe is made up of matter, dark matter, and dark energy.

Physicists think we’ve detected the dark energy ripping our universe apart

Matter makes up everything we can see, which is only about 5% of the universe.

Unfortunately, dark energy and dark matter are only hypothetical at this point.

The theories behind them are quite strong.

We think we know how to find it.

But we need better technology.

And this led the team to spend the next year determining what the heck they were looking at.

As it turns out, they believe its evidence of dark energy at work.

So dark matter keeps matter from getting tugged along with the universes expansion.

And… (cue dramatic music) dark energy is whats believed to be driving the expansion.

Quick take:This is super cool.

It could be a year or more before the results are confirmed.
