Scientists spot a "cosmic glitch" challenging Einstein's theory. Could there be a "cosmic glitch" in how gravity behaves across the universe? A Canadian research team thinks so. Their recent findings suggest that Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity might not perfectly align with astronomical observations made at the universe's outskirts. Published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, the study explores the idea that the cosmological gravitational constant—which should theoretically govern gravity across the entire universe—might differ slightly from Newton's gravitational constant, which explains gravity on a smaller scale, like the orbital movements of planets. This intriguing discovery could lead to a significant shift in how we understand the cosmic forces at play.
