Abstract

The expansion of the universe, a fundamental concept in modern cosmology, has undergone a remarkable transformation with the discovery of cosmic acceleration. This phenomenon, driven by a mysterious force known as dark energy, challenges our understanding of the universe's ultimate fate. This paper explores the evidence for cosmic acceleration, delves into the nature of dark energy, and discusses its implications for the future of the cosmos.
