Summary:
 One of the biggest mysteries in science -- dark energy -- doesn't actually exist,
 according to researchers looking to solve the riddle of how the Universe is expanding.
 For the past 100 years, physicists have generally assumed that the cosmos is growing
 equally in all directions.
 They employed the concept of dark energy as a placeholder to explain unknown physics
 they couldn't understand, but the contentious theory has always had its problems.
 Now a team of physicists and astronomers are challenging the status quo,
 using improved analysis of supernovae light curves to show that the Universe
 is expanding in a more varied, 'lumpier' way.
