Distant, ancient galaxies are giving scientists further hints that a mysterious force called dark energy may not be what they thought.
Astronomers know that the universe is expanding — and not just expanding, but doing so at a faster and faster rate. For decades, they’ve puzzled over what could possibly be speeding everything up. Their mathematical model describing how the universe behaves could explain it well if there were a powerful, constant force at play — but they didn’t know the nature of this force or where it came from, so they called it dark energy.

President Donald Trump officially increased tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports to 25% on Wednesday, promising that the taxes would help create U.S. factory jobs at a time when his seesawing tariff threats are jolting the stock market and raising fears of an economic slowdown.
Trump removed all exemptions from his 2018 tariffs on the metals, in addition to increasing the tariffs on aluminum from 10%. His moves, based off a February directive, are part of a broader effort to disrupt and transform global commerce. The Republican president has separate tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, with plans to also tax imports from the European Union, Brazil and South Korea by charging “reciprocal” rates starting on April 2.

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday Guterres also warned against a looming trade war triggered by 25% steel and aluminum tariffs that U.S. President Donald Trump has leveled.
“One of the great advantages of having a situation of free trade is to create the conditions for all countries to benefit. When we enter into a trade war, I believe all will lose,” Guterres told reporters.

Clashes broke out on Wednesday in Buenos Aires during a street protest by retirees in front of Congress against austerity policies.
Fans of several soccer clubs decided to participate for the first time in the weekly protest by the pensioners.
In an unprecedented event, fans of Boca Juniors, River Plate and other first and second division teams joined the group of retirees who protest every week in downtown Buenos Aires against cuts in pensions and retirement benefits.
Fans were called to “defend” the senior citizens after police last week dispersed them with tear gas and baton blows when they interrupted the traffic in front of the Parliament.
Their actions were allegedly in violation of a new code of conduct for demonstrations imposed by President Javier Milei shortly after he took office. AP
