The discovery that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate shocked the scientific world. To explain it, cosmologists introduced dark energy, an invisible, undetectable force believed to dominate the cosmos. For years, dark energy has stood as the most accepted explanation, yet it remains unproven. This raises a critical question: Is dark energy real, or is it simply the result of a miscalculation?
Scientist Baldevkrishan Sharma, founder of the Astrogenesis Research Foundation, provides a bold answer in his book Natural Universe Expansion (NUE). According to Sharma, what we call “dark energy” is not a mysterious force but a correction to errors built into our models of expansion.
The Flaws in Hubble’s Law
Hubble’s Law, formulated in 1929, became the backbone of cosmology, linking galaxy recession speed with distance. However, the Hubble Constant used in these calculations has produced inconsistent values for decades. This “Hubble Tension” has left scientists divided and searching for explanations. To reconcile these contradictions, dark energy was introduced.
But Sharma points out that this may have been a conceptual shortcut—a way to fill in gaps without addressing the deeper mathematical flaws.
NUE Theory: A Natural Explanation
The Natural Universe Expansion (NUE) Law introduces the Nu Constant, a dynamic value that incorporates time into calculations. Unlike the static Hubble Constant, the Nu Constant evolves, allowing for a continuously compounding rate of expansion. This naturally explains the acceleration observed in distant galaxies—without the need for dark energy.
In other words, what scientists interpreted as a mysterious cosmic force may simply be the result of applying incomplete equations. NUE provides a precise, testable alternative.
The Living Organic Universe Model
Sharma’s vision extends beyond numbers. His Living Organic Universe (LOU) Model presents the cosmos as a self-sustaining, living-like system. Just as organisms grow naturally, the universe itself expands intrinsically. This model removes the need for hypothetical forces like dark matter or dark energy, replacing them with observable, logical processes of natural growth.
Why This Matters for Cosmology
If Sharma’s NUE Theory is correct, then one of the biggest pillars of modern astrophysics—dark energy—may be unnecessary. The implications are profound. Cosmologists would need to reevaluate predictions about the universe’s past, present, and future. PhD researchers and scientists would be invited to explore a model that is not only more consistent but also more grounded in natural laws.
Conclusion
So, is it dark energy or miscalculation? According to Baldevkrishan Sharma, the evidence points toward miscalculation. His NUE Theory challenges us to rethink cosmology at its core and embrace a model that eliminates unproven assumptions.
