They examined how its parameters relate to the Hubble constant.","gist":"The paper introduces 'omnipotent' dark energy models and tests one example, DMS20, against updated datasets, finding it eases the Hubble tension with a preference for dark energy density crossing to negative values.","meaning":"The Hubble tension is a disagreement between measurements of how fast the Universe expands today and values inferred within the standard ΛCDM model. The claim is that, in this model, the possibility of dark energy density being negative at earlier times matters for easing that disagreement, as does the crossing of the phantom divide line. This had not been examined before for this parametrization. If it holds, it would point model builders towards dark energy that changes sign as one route to reducing the tension.","findings":["Updated and extended datasets confirm that DMS20 is effective in easing the observational discrepancies.","The Hubble constant is positively correlated with the scale factor at which dark energy density turns from negative to positive.","For the full dataset the model gives H0 = 70.05 ± 0.64 (68% CL), with a preference for crossing to negative dark energy densities (a_p > 0 at 99% CL)."],"terms":[{"term":"negative DE density","means":"A situation in which the energy density attributed to dark energy falls below zero at some point in cosmic history, rather than staying positive."},{"term":"PDL crossing","means":"The phantom divide line is where dark energy's equation of state parameter equals -1; crossing it means the dark energy switches between phantom-like and non-phantom behaviour."},{"term":"parametrization","means":"A chosen mathematical form with adjustable parameters used to describe how dark energy behaves over cosmic time, so it can be fitted to data."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"openalex","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-20T13:30:54.962Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-20T13:30:54.962Z","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.
