Letting dark matter and dark energy interact can reduce this gap when Planck is combined only with the direct measurement. The quoted result says that once other datasets are added, the data no longer clearly favour such a coupling and agree with the standard cosmological constant picture. That limits how far interacting dark energy can be presented as a solution to the tension.","findings":["Combining Planck with the direct Hubble constant measurement points to a non-zero coupling at more than two standard deviations, with ξ = -0.26 (+0.16, -0.12) at 95% CL.","The tension is better eased when the dark energy equation of state varies freely, giving a phantom-like w = -1.184 ± 0.064 (68% CL), which rules out w = -1 at more than two standard deviations.","With Planck plus BAO, JLA supernovae, cosmic shear or lensing data, the results are consistent with the cosmological constant and show no compelling evidence for coupling."],"terms":[{"term":"BAO","means":"Baryon acoustic oscillations are a characteristic length scale imprinted in how galaxies are spread across the sky, used as a ruler to measure cosmic expansion."},{"term":"cosmic shear","means":"The slight distortion of distant galaxy shapes caused by the gravity of intervening matter, used to map how matter is distributed."},{"term":"cosmological constant","means":"A constant energy density of empty space that drives accelerating expansion, equivalent to dark energy with equation of state w = -1."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"arxiv","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-21T22:30:37.860Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-21T22:30:37.860Z","attempts":1,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","why":null},"note":"Machine-written context to help a reader: it is not evidence, it moves no number, and it may be wrong.
