Title: Dark Energy
Post by: AKIron on July 15, 2026, 03:19:30 PM
We had a "discussion" here almost 20 years ago regarding this. Some here seemed sure it was only a matter of time before science proved the existence of dark energy and/or dark matter. Time may prove their faith unfounded.

Dark energy is the name given to the unknown cause of the accelerating expansion of the universe. Around 1998, two independent teams studying distant supernovae discovered that galaxies aren’t just moving apart — the expansion is speeding up. That was a shock.
To explain this acceleration, cosmologists introduced the term “dark energy,” which behaves like a repulsive pressure built into space itself.

I've wondered for over 20 years if we might not see the same effect if we were in a deep gravity well. The possibility we are in a black hole is becoming more plausible.

I will only feel safe if V.I.N.C.E.N.T. is there to hold my hand. :noid
