Against a ground scored as if by some invisible torrent, intense green olive trees twist and crimp, capped by the rolling, dwindling hillocks of the distant Alps, beneath a light-washed sky with a bundled, ectoplasmic cloud. Van Gogh's letters make it clear that he created this particular intense vista of the southern French landscape as a daylight partner to the visionary no

  The University of Copenhagen replaces dark energy theory expansion is due to a dark substance with a magnetic force, indicating that dark energy does not exist. It would change our understanding of the universe’s composition and why it is expanding at an ever-increasing rate,”, It might change our belief that what we thought made up 70% of the universe doesn’t really exist. We removed dark energy from the equation and added some additional properties to dark matter. Relation between the cosmological redshift and cosmic a fundamental theory and thus observational determination of this function (redshift remapping) should be regarded as an insightful alternative to holding its standard form in analyses of cosmological data. Type Ia supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillations observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation (temperature power spectrum) and cosmic chronometers. The reconstructed redshift remapping points to an additional boost of redshift of cosmic evolution,
