The power of Dark Energy may be increasing as the universe ages. Subtle clues are emerging that the accepted model for the nature of dark energy and dark matter may not be all that. We saw the first such clue recently in our recent episode on the Crisis in Cosmology. Today we’re doing a Space Time Journal Club to reveal another clue. We’re looking at a new paper in Nature Astronomy, “Cosmological constraints from the Hubble diagram of quasars at high redshifts” by Risaliti and Lusso. It hints that the cosmological constant may not be so constant after all. In fact it may be increasing. If this is true, then our prediction for the future of our universe looks VERY different, and may involve the entire universe tearing itself to shreds at the subatomic level in the Big Rip.
On this edition of Space Time Journal Club we look at:
Risaliti & Lusso (2019) "Cosmological Constraints from the Hubble Diagram of Quasars at High Redshifts"

    If the Big Rip WERE to happen, would it have any effect on quarks bound up in protons and neutrons? From my understandingb you need to add so much energy to those systems to separate them that new quarks end up being created. Could a Big Rip scenario cause a large number of quarks to be created? Possibly even a runaway effect if those new systems were separated?

    Entropy and conservation of information do not apply to the universe as a whole, because there is a constant influx of new information-energy in the form of more of spacetime itself. They apply to relatively closed or isolated subsets where dark energy is not a significant factor, like up to the scale of a local galaxy cluster, where other forces dominate. Dark energy is still a pretty academic exception, because yes it's adding information-energy potential, but all it's doing with that is making more space between things, not really changing those things in any other way except to stretch long-distance light waves into redshift, which spreads out their energy but doesn't reduce the total. For what it's worth, you don't have to worry about a big rip anyway. As galaxy clusters spread out and there are literally fewer possible interactions among things as they get more isolated by information horizons, dark energy will slow down and level off. Somebody will calculate the peak & drop-off rate at some time during the next few billion years or so as more measurements are made. We're just in the early part of the ramp-up curve right now.

    Dark energy seems like a sort of "energy of the gaps" because we can't explain our observations. It feels like it doesn't exist, maybe I'm crazy but I think we are on the cusp of changing understanding of the universe soon, it seems like that always happens when there are too many anomalies in a theory. I mean we keep trying to prove it exists along with dark matter and fail every time.

    Actually we succeed every time. Dark energy is just a name we give to something we know exists. All we’re trying to do now is figure out its properties. It’s like finding a piece of alien tech and trying to figure out what it is and how it works. We may not know what it does, what it’s made of, how it works, etc. But to say it doesn’t exist is just idiotic. It’s right there, I can see it.

    Why can't expanding space time at what ever rate just be an accepted without explanation. On the large scale it is observable, at a small scale it is not measurable and things like atoms or galaxies can adjust to it second by second. Why giving an atom or galaxy 50% more space to move around in cause it to act any different, if you did it in an instant maybe but over billions of year who cares. Someone should just accept expanding space time and a universe that may be many time bigger than our observable universe. Try to explain why the edge of the observable universe is the same distance by red shift in all directions, logic an math says there is little chance we happen to be in the center of the universe. Explain why universe age in CMB calculations are close to this red shift age. Consider the idea the universe may be a lot older or younger than this number and expanding space time is capable of fooling us.

The only evidence is basically how galaxies move as if more matter/ gravity/ attraction were there, thus they postulate dark matter, but is it matter or is this a gap in our knowledge we plug with dark matter of the gaps? Could it be ionized gas or plasma? Or something else? It could be anything and I'm shocked so many cosmologists just act as if it's correct when evidence is basically non-existent.

    @@ObjectsInMotion Math is a good start and often leads us to discoveries, but you can also produce mathematical models of the universe that work but we reject because of how arbitrary they are, or lack of supporting experimental evidence. Right now dark matter is a math only model, we've tried creating it in the hadron collider, we've tried proving it with predictions of observations and they keep failing to find anything. I mean we had steady state models of the universe that worked mathematically by plugging in numbers, I'm afraid we are plugging in dark energy to fix broken models.

    I think it would be advantageous to graph the quasar red shift in three dimensions, there may be massive objects outside of our point of view as we know it from the CMB. If massive structures formed after the initial expansion/CMB release in the early universe, then the extra red might be explained by the quasars being accelerated away from us by a currently unseeable force (mind you not an undiscovered force, just a massive source of gravity outside our visible universe). Basically if quasars that are abnormally red shifted are clustered in similar directions uncorrelated to their distance then there may be something else going on other than whats theorized in this video.

Another possibility is that dark energy is increasing asymptotically, eg steadily increasing but approaching some constant value per unit space
