A large international survey of physicists has found surprising disagreement about some of the most fundamental questions in cosmology. According to the results, no single view commands majority support among researchers, including on the standard cosmological model that underpins much of modern astronomy.
The survey also showed that physicists have not settled on a leading explanation for dark matter, nor do they agree on any one theory of quantum gravity. This lack of consensus stands out given how central these topics are to understanding the universe's origins and composition.
The source article does not report further details, so it remains unclear what specific areas might have shown more agreement. What is clear is that the field, at least according to this survey, is more fractured than a unified picture of physics might suggest.
