We confront Einstein-Cartan's theory with the Hubble diagram. An affirmative answer to the question in the title is compatible with today's supernovae data.

No late-time role for adiabatic torsion: a no-go result for Hubble-cutoff holographic dark energy in Einstein--Cartan cosmology
gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

The adiabatic Einstein–Cartan torsion mode cannot rescue Hubble-cutoff holographic dark energy: it is dynamically inert and bounded to Ω_Φ < 5×10⁻²⁴ by BBN.
