Albert Einstein’s famous theory of relativity has been wowing scientists for over 100 years, helping us understand how space and time work. But a new discovery has shown that the Universe might not follow Einstein’s rules perfectly after all. Scientists studying the Dark Energy Survey, which looks at why the Universe is expanding so quickly, found something unusual. Einstein’s theory explains how massive objects like stars and galaxies bend light as it travels through space—this bending is called gravitational lensing. Imagine space as a flexible sheet: when big objects like planets sit on it, they create dips, or “gravitational wells,” which make light curve as it passes. When scientists looked at light from billions of years ago, Einstein’s predictions matched perfectly. But for the more recent past—about 3 to 5 billion years ago—the “gravitational wells” seem shallower than expected. Does this mean Einstein was wrong? Not at all, it just showed that science is always about asking questions, making discoveries, and sometimes rewriting the rules.
