http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/dark_matter_021112.html any speculations on what dark energy is or how it originated and the most important- what makes it different from the common energy? thanx
I think when scientists are able to understand quantum mechanics, they will be able to understand dark matter. For me this theory is too young, too general, and too weird, but I guess theories don't start off with all the answers.
So, would dark matter be a form of dark energy? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Could dark energy be the opposite of energy? As in, where there is a lack of energy there is dark energy?
Oops! I am tired! I though they were talking about dark matter. Ughh sorry to confuse anyone. Maybe they are related though. I don't know now, I confused myself. Sorry.
Yeah hoppa, I thought you might be thinking of dark matter... It makes sense that if there is indeed a dark matter...it is only a form of dark energy. What I am thinking is that what we see as lacking properties...the emptiness of space...actually has properties that we have not yet been able to identify. And when these properties are multiplied at a grand scale, you see the effects such as an expanding universe. So maybe dark energy isn't the best term.... Maybe anti-energy? But then, dark matter is not anti-matter... Hmmm. More thinking required...
Yes, I remember reading that dark matter makes up a considerable amount of space in the universe. Its part of the whole "big crunch" theory as well. Not much is known about it though.
Posted by Avatar: Posted by fadingCaptain: It seems to be a condensed form of energy rather then lack of energy... It also seems to be as a source of high energy. Maybe has something to do with vacuum energy...
Avatar, High energy is... high energy (just an energy that is high in value...)... Vacuum energy is... I posted in my other thread a bunch of links and you were even there.... did you remember at all?
