Newfound 'glitch' in Einstein's relativity could rewrite the rules of the universe, study suggests


A strange "cosmic glitch" in gravity could explain the universe's weird behavior on the largest scales, researchers suggest.

First formulated by Albert Einstein in 1915, the theory of general relativity remains our best and most accurate understanding of how gravity works on medium to large scales.

Yet, zoom out even farther to view enormous groups of gravitationally bound galaxies interacting, and some inconsistencies appear to emerge. This suggests that gravity, which is theorized to be a constant across all times and scales, could actually become slightly weaker at cosmic distances.
