Is Dark Energy Changing? Mysterious New Data Challenges Einstein’s Cosmological Constant

Discovery Simulations on ALCF's Aurora Supercomputer

Visual comparison of a small region in the simulations (left: standard model of cosmology; right: dynamical dark energy model). The differences are subtle but still clearly visible at the substructure level.
