Summary

Story summary

Researchers from ZARM and Transylvanian University propose that the universe's accelerated expansion can be explained without dark energy by applying Finsler geometry.
The theory allows distance and time measurements to depend on direction and speed, so acceleration may arise from geometry itself rather than a cosmological constant.
The researchers urge testing this model against observational data, such as supernova brightness and galaxy surveys, to refine cosmic dynamics and fundamental laws.
