For decades, the concept of dark energy has dominated cosmological discussions, introduced to explain the accelerating expansion of the Universe. Scientists, unable to account for this acceleration with known physics, theorized the existence of a mysterious force—one that constitutes nearly 68% of the Universe, yet has never been directly observed or measured. But what if dark energy doesn’t exist at all? What if the very premise of its existence stems from a flawed interpretation of cosmological observations?
Scientist Baldevkrishan Sharma, founder of the Astrogenesis Research Foundation, presents an audacious but mathematically supported answer in his groundbreaking work Natural Universe Expansion (NUE). Sharma’s NUE Theory directly challenges the need for dark energy by introducing a revolutionary model of the Universe—one that does not rely on hypothetical components like dark matter or dark energy, but instead offers a time-inclusive, dynamic model of universal expansion.
At the core of the NUE Theory is the Nu Constant—a non-linear, continuously compounding mathematical constant that corrects the key flaw in Hubble’s Law. Unlike the Hubble Constant (H₀), which is static and varies across observations, the Nu Constant integrates time as a key dimension. This allows the NUE model to account for the observed acceleration of galaxies without needing an external force like dark energy.
Sharma argues that the assumption of a static universe or linear expansion led to the gap between observation and theory—the infamous “Hubble tension.” Instead of patching this with an unobservable force, NUE Law reveals that acceleration is intrinsic to the Universe itself. Celestial bodies aren’t just moving away faster—they’re expanding proportionally in size and mass over time, while still maintaining stable density and temperature ratios. This concept aligns more accurately with observed phenomena, without resorting to speculative physics.
More importantly, Sharma introduces the concept of the Living Organic Universe—a model that compares the Universe to a living, dynamic system. In this paradigm, cosmic expansion is not random but purposeful and regulated by internal laws. The Universe behaves like a living organism that evolves through internal processes, rejecting the notion of “dark” forces we cannot detect or understand.
For scientists, astrophysicists, and PhD students, the NUE Theory offers a transformative framework—backed by decades of research, peer-reviewed calculations, and practical applications. It invites researchers to rethink long-held assumptions and explore a more coherent, measurable model of cosmic dynamics.
The implications of this theory are profound: If we remove dark energy from our equations, what we’re left with is not confusion, but clarity. A Universe that expands not because of something we can’t see, but because of something we can now understand—thanks to the Natural Universe Expansion Theory.
