What Is Dark Energy? An Astrophysicist Explains | Edge Of Knowledge | Ars Technica

Ғылым және технология

When scientists set out to measure what they expected to be a slow down in the expansion of the universe, they discovered the exact opposite: the expansion of the universe isn't slowing, but accelerating. The unknown forces behind this acceleration have been dubbed 'dark energy' - and Dr. Paul Sutter breaks down what we know about it, what we don't, and where current research is leading us.

    The Hadron Collider can in theory produce particles faster than the speed of light. Is Dark energy, that which travels faster than the speed of light, i.e. The universe is itself either a black hole or part of several black holes, that involves physics that operates at faster than the speed of light.

    Interesting. The rubber band analogy is cool, although the universe has no edge or boundary unlike the rubber band. So, theoretically this tension would never “snap”. Also, the total energy in the universe is 0, so no matter the amount of dark energy it will theoretically always be cancelled out negative energy, or gravity.

    Can someone comment on this? I know nothing of physics. If the universe is a void, or moreover a vacuum, and the way he describes it, but everything accelerating, that the expansion of the universe starts to weaken gravity as it expands? and by that thought, if this was all result was from the the big bang explosion, and the expansion of the universe is the possibility of the kinetic energy of something massive that did explode, would it be possible for everything to at some point stop and start to implode?

    So you assuming matter drops off due to expansion, what if it drops off due to being gathered to blacksphere? If you observe the cosmos you will notice all matter is gathered due to galacty building. You will also observe that matter is being reduced at all times everywhere by these blacksphere. The result is the illusion of expansion of the space when gathering is what's actually occurring. And dark matter is simply the result of the matter being reduced by those blacksphere and is spent matter.

    I don’t think the universe expansion is really accelerating. You just need to apply an additional layer of derivative. Meaning, the rate of the rate of expansion. I believe that higher level derivative is negative. Give things enough time and the expansion will cease and the Big Crunch phase will begin.
