In a new paper posted to the arXiv preprint server, theoretical physicist Savvas Koushiappas of Brown University has put forward an unusual proposal. The universe, he argues, may have its own version of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Its size and its rate of expansion can't be simultaneously specified with perfect precision, and that fundamental fuzziness might be enough to explain dark energy without invoking any new physics at all.
