Dark energy overturned? New supernova analysis suggests universe may not accelerate

Scientists analyzed data from over 1700 supernovae and concluded that the universe's expansion may not be accelerating — it might even be slowing. After accounting for the age of stars producing these explosions, they found the apparent acceleration varies by direction, difficult to explain by dark energy theory. Other cosmologists question these conclusions; final verification will come from upcoming telescopes.
