The cosmological constant problem is one of the biggest crises in physics Premium

The calculated dark energy content of the universe, based on theory, is bizarrely off the mark. In the simplest estimate, there should be enough energy in a cube with sides of length 10^-21 cm to unbind the entire Milky Way, yet in reality there appears to be much, much less. Nobody knows a convincing way to get around this. This is to say that while the universe is observed to be incredibly big, physicists calculate that it must be tinier than a proton. This, in a nutshell, is the cosmological constant problem.

Ecologist Monica Kaushik has studied cats' hunting habits in Dehradun and found pet cats hunt birds the most. Cats maintain a 'landscape of fear' and their saliva contains bacteria lethal to birds. Debate on the proper way to deal with cats has spiralled in the West, but India has nearly no data.
