Dark Energy: From Brake to Engine ⚡ экспресс

Original: "A Friendly Phantom: Late-time AdS-to-dS transition and cosmological tensions"
A new model shows how dark energy could first slow the expansion of the Universe and then accelerate it, avoiding catastrophe.

Dark energy was not always repulsive. Perhaps in the past it acted as attraction. A new model with a phantom field shows a smooth transition without catastrophe, shedding light on discrepancies in measurements of the universe's expansion.

🎯 Phantom energy is so named for its ability to violate physical laws, like a ghost passing through walls.
