Dark matter, dark energy may not exist at all, study claims
Dark matter and dark energy, believed to make up 95% of the universe, may not exist at all, according to Swiss researcher AndrÃ© Maeder. Maeder fitted his hypothesis to Einstein's theory of general relativity and found no need to factor in dark energy to explain universe's accelerating expansion. Further, using Newton's equations, speeding galaxies could be explained without dark matter.
