Study unveils a surprise about the Universe: “Smaller than we thought”
A recent study has uncovered new evidence suggesting that the universe might be smaller in scale than previously believed, thanks to a model developed by scientists that led to this surprising conclusion.
Published on the electronic library “arXiv.org.” the study posits that the universe is neither infinite nor significantly larger than its observed dimensions. which span 46 billion light-years.
The scientists behind this research suggest that the universe has a relatively modest scale. not too far from its current boundaries. They considered various quantitative .and physical factors that influence the fabric of spacetime. and the structure of matter. utilizing existing cosmological theories to calculate the fundamental characteristics of the universe. These include the proportion of dark matter, dark energy. and the curvature of space.
Calculations conducted in the study indicate that the current temperature of space and its flat curvature. along with some of its properties. can be explained if the universe continued its superluminal expansion phase for a relatively short period.
In summary, scientists noted that the size of the universe can be compared to observable limits, emphasizing that the visible scale spans 46 billion light-years. However, the recent study suggests that the total size surpasses this measurement by several multiples.
