=== Dark Mysteries in the Universe === '''Dark energy and dark matter make up 95% of the Universe, but we don't really know what they are.''' Scientists have been puzzled about two things in the universe: dark energy and dark matter. Even though they make up most of the universe, we can't see them, and we're not sure what they're made of. === Einstein's Forgotten Idea === '''Einstein once thought about something called negative mass, which could push things apart.''' A long time ago, Einstein, a famous scientist, had an idea. He thought about something called "negative mass." This is like the opposite of regular mass (like how a negative number is the opposite of a positive number). Negative mass could make things in the universe move away from each other. === A New Way to Look at Things === '''This paper suggests that negative mass might explain dark energy and dark matter.''' By thinking about negative mass again, this article suggests that both dark energy and dark matter might be explained by it. Negative mass could be continuously created in the universe, and this might look like the mysterious forces we call dark energy and dark matter. === What Does This Mean for Our Universe? === '''If this idea is right, our universe might go through cycles, and it could explain some things we observe.''' With negative mass, our universe could go through cycles of expansion and contraction. This idea also might explain some things we see when we look at galaxies and other objects in space. === Einstein's Changing Views === '''Einstein had different ideas about the universe at different times.''' Einstein first thought that the universe was static and didn't change. But when he learned that the universe was expanding, he changed his mind about some things. He once thought negative masses could be everywhere in space, but later he thought differently. '''Author Contributions:''' * '''J. S.

Farnes appears to be the primary author of the paper, responsible for the main research, findings, and writing.
