New three-dimensional space map expands our understanding of the Universe

Berkeley Lab has released the largest three-dimensional map of the Universe with an incredible accuracy of 1%. This map, created by scientists who have been working for more than 25 years, opens up new perspectives in the study of the Universe - from basic physics to understanding the Big Bang itself.

Here's What We Know

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Imager (DESI), a scientific technology developed for astronomical surveys of distant galaxies, has collected data on the distances to millions of objects in the Universe. Using DESI, scientists have measured the history of the expansion of the Universe over 11 billion years with an accuracy of 0.5 per cent.

One of the key discoveries is the ability to measure the expansion of the Universe in different epochs of space time with an accuracy of 1 to 3 per cent. This allowed scientists to split the data into parts and investigate the impact of dark energy on the expansion of the Universe.

One of the main discoveries is the discovery of changes in dark energy over time, which contradicts previous assumptions. This calls into question existing models and requires a revised understanding of the Universe, including the basic principles of physics and the Big Bang theory.

With this mapping, scientists can view the Universe in its younger days, unlocking the mysteries of dark energy and distant objects.
