AI Boosts Dark Energy Estimates, Backing Theory it's Unchanging 'Cosmological Constant'
- Researchers used AI to double the precision of estimates about properties of dark energy and the universe
- The findings support the theory that dark energy is a "cosmological constant" that doesn't change over time
- The universe seems to be more smoothly distributed than Einstein's theory predicts
- The study used computer simulations and machine learning to extract more information from existing data
- Upcoming dark universe projects will greatly increase data to test cosmological models
