Recent revelations hint at the possibility of dark energy diminishing as the universe expands, prompting physicists to contemplate alternative cosmological models. These new theories propose unconventional ideas that challenge our understanding of gravity and the fundamental workings of the universe. Concepts such as string theory, novel fundamental forces, and evolving forms of gravity are now being explored as potential replacements for the existing standard model.
