Our model of the universe is deeply flawed — unless space is actually a ‘sticky fluid’, new research hints
Recent observations have revealed that our understanding of the cosmos is flawed, but it may be because the universe is “stickier” than we assumed, new research proposes.
In a paper that was published on the arXiv preprint server but has not…
