New research by Canterbury University scientists suggests that dark energy doesn’t actually exist.
坎特伯雷大学科学家的新研究表明，暗能量实际上并不存在。

For years, physicists have believed the universe was expanding equally in all directions, and used the concept of “dark energy” to explain this.
多年来，物理学家一直认为宇宙向各个方向均匀膨胀，并使用“暗能量”的概念来解释这一点。

Now, a team of New Zealand physicists led by Professor David Wiltshire analysed light curves from the Pantheon+ supernovae to show the universe was expanding in a “lumpier” way.
现在，由大卫·威尔特希尔教授领导的新西兰物理学家团队分析了万神殿+超新星的光曲线，表明宇宙正在以“更笨拙”的方式膨胀。

The new study – published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society – showed the idea of “dark energy” isn’t needed at all.
这项发表在《皇家天文学会月刊》（Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society）上的新研究表明，根本不需要“暗能量”的概念。

Instead, it proposed a different model – called timescape cosmology – to understand the evolution of the universe.
相反，它提出了一个不同的模型——称为 timescape 宇宙学——来理解宇宙的演化。

The scientists said the findings – together with new data – implied “profound consequences” for cosmology and astrophysics, and may help resolve the universe’s biggest mystery within five years.
科学家们表示，这些发现——连同新数据——意味着对宇宙学和天体物理学的“深远影响”，并可能有助于在五年内解开宇宙最大的谜团。

Research by the New Zealand scientists was supported by the Marsden Fund, which earlier this year announced changes to its terms of reference that have been roundly criticised by the science community.
新西兰科学家的研究得到了马斯登基金的支持，该基金今年早些时候宣布修改其职权范围，受到科学界的强烈批评。
