Observations of supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies point to a likely source of dark energy—the ‘missing’ 70% of the universe.

The measurements from ancient and dormant galaxies show black holes growing more than expected, aligning with a phenomenon predicted in Einstein’s theory of gravity. The result potentially means nothing new has to be added to our picture of the universe to account for dark energy: black holes combined with Einstein’s gravity are the source.

The conclusion was reached by a team of 17 researchers in nine countries, led by the University of Hawai’i and including Imperial College London and STFC RAL Space physicists. The work is published in two papers in the journals The Astrophysical Journal and The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Study co-author Dr. Dave Clements, from the Department of Physics at Imperial, said, “This is a really surprising result. We started off looking at how black holes grow over time, and may have found the answer to one of the biggest problems in cosmology.”

Very Interesting. It’d be nice if this solved the Dark Energy problem.

I’d better read the link. The above description makes no sense at all.

How black holes grow with time depends only on how much mass (baryonic and dark matter) they swallow. It has nothing whatever to do with dark energy.

And if it “aligns with Einstein’s theory of gravity” then it can’t be “more than expected”.

Perhaps dark energy also feeds them.

Or they leak dark energy which we can’t detect
