Cosmology: Dark is the new black
Richard Massey1
Abstract
Rival experimental methods to determine the Universe's expansion are contending to become the fashionable face of cosmology. Fresh theoretical calculations make one of them the hot tip for next season.
Since the Big Bang, the Universe's initial expansion has been gradually slowed by the gravitational pull from the mass it contains. Most of this mass is in the form of invisible and mysterious dark matter.
