A map of 31 million galaxies created by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument will be released next year, and could shed light on the origins of this mysterious force.

Dark energy is one the secrets of the universe. According to evolution, it holds most of the
material there but we do not know that
it exists. Some scientists say
that it does not.
Dark energy is one of big bangs problem.
We think dark energy makes
up most of the universe, but we have no idea what it actually is. In 2025, the
Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) in Arizona may offer clues,
particularly in relation to how this strange force has changed as the universe
matured.
“Either there is some new form of dark energy that we
don’t know about yet or this could be a paradigm shift, maybe [the data will
show] that there is something we don’t understand about space and time.”
