Cosmology shake-up: new model suggests 27-billion-year universe without dark matter
Earth.com reports on Rajendra Gupta’s CCC+TL cosmology, which argues the universe could be explained without dark matter or dark energy by allowing changing physical constants and photon energy loss over vast distances, and suggests a universe age of about 27 billion years; if borne out, this would upend standard cosmology, but it requires rigorous testing against galaxy rotation, gravitational lensing, the cosmic microwave background, and other observations.
