A New Test Confirms Dark Energy and the Expansion of the Universe

In the standard model of cosmology, dark energy fills the universe. It causes the universe to expand at an ever-increasing rate, and it makes up more than 70% of the cosmos. But there’s a problem. When we measure the rate of cosmic expansion in different ways, we get results that disagree with each other.

Um, no.

This doesn’t look like disagreement to me. It looks like a four-fold match. Dark energy close to 65%, give or take a bit. Perhaps 70%. I think it’s the “voids” that stuffs things up worst. What is this?
