Is Dark Energy Born inside Black Holes?

SMRTR summary

Recent data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument suggests that dark energy may not be constant as previously thought, prompting physicists to propose that black holes could be converting matter into dark energy within their cores. This controversial theory could explain why dark energy became dominant relatively recently in cosmic history and why its density closely matches regular matter density, potentially solving puzzling conflicts in current cosmological measurements.
