A cosmic glitch in Einstein's General Theory of Relativity may explain 1% weakening of gravity on large scales.

A new study suggests a "cosmic glitch" in Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, which could explain discrepancies in gravitational forces on large scales. Observing data approaching the "superhorizon," galaxies traveling near light speed reveal inconsistencies, indicating that Einstein's theory may require a cosmological extension. This "glitch" could potentially help explain the observed weakening of gravity by about 1% on large scales.
