A new model shows that dark matter and dark energy can transform into each other like a reversible chemical reaction. Observational tests confirmed that this process is almost impossible — only a few thousand transformations have occurred in the entire history of the Universe.

Dark energy, which makes the Universe expand ever faster, twice briefly crossed stable boundaries — DESI observations revealed this. The model explains such behavior by interaction with dark matter particles: their coupling creates an illusion of violation, but the system remains stable. The theory
