Your thoughts?
Yes, I have questions like that too.Interesting. I'm reading the article, not watching the video; I hope the video covers the same thing.
The answer couldn’t be anymore obvious; supermassive wormholes.Yes, I have questions like that too.
I have just found the paper, have not 'read' it yet.
Hope I can make sense of it.
Anyone can download a pdf of the paper here on this page:

whoops, just noticed CC's post above.
From that it seems the vacuum energy increases as the black hole expands along with the universe.
If I remember rightly, energy is not 'conserved on the big picture, because vacuum energy is'created' in the new space of expansion.
?? As the black hole expands the vacuum energy in that space (black hole) goes up too, so the BH mass increases??
BIG I think there, because vacuum energy is 'suppose' to cancel itself out?? So why the increase in mass???
That question may only arise with me, because of my complete misunderstanding of things here.
I take it that this is open for discussion now? Did you watch the videos I linked based on this research finding?Thanks.
That article suggests that black holes can expand due to what the researchers call "cosmological coupling". The article does not explain what that is, though. Nor does it explain how this coupling creates or causes "dark energy".
To find out more, it looks like we'd need to go to the source: the published scientific papers of these researchers. That is, unless there's some other article that explains the proposed mechanism for this dark energy creation.
On the surface, the idea sound attractive, since it potentially solves more than one outstanding problem in physics.
Like every hypothesis, this one needs testing. The researchers are apparently aware of this.
