Loading...Dark Energy
The idea that there is a force making the universe larger. Distant galaxies appear to be moving away from us at high speed: the idea is that the universe is getting bigger and has been since the Big Bang, due to “dark energy”.
Giving a name to something you don’t know is there is a risky business, people will believe it before it has been observed. Is this idea based on science or something else?
Entropictastic! “Dark energy could be merely mimicking the cosmological constant, a scalar field changing so slowly that we have not yet been able to detect it. Or (whisper it quietly) perhaps dark energy does not even exist.”
