Astronomers think that the expansion of the universe is regulated by both the force of gravity, and a mysterious dark energy.

I don’t get it. Maybe if I watched “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” where they introduce the Quantum Realm, it would make more sense.

It’s likely the QR will be in play in Avengers 4.

Sorry, screwed up a bit on the excerpt, duplicating two sections of it.

Here are some good documentaries/lectures on the general subject...

Hubble’s observations about the expanding universe contributed to discoveries showing that time, space, matter and energy all had a beginning.

This contradicted the ultimately irrational cosmology Einstein had accepted along with most scientists of his day—the steady state universe existing infinitely into the past and future.

Fill a horsetank with water to the very top, then cover it with a thin rubber sheet and seal it so no air is in it and no water can escape.

Then drop a bowling ball in the center...

The ball will make a dent but furthest away from the ball the surface will be BULGED UPWARDS!

If the sealed tank with no ball is no gravity then the tanke with bowling ball with the outward bulge upwards is anti-gravity... ie. NEGATIVE ENERGY ie. REPULSIVE FORCE.

DUH!

The classic thought experiment of the “trampoline + bowling ball “ gravity model crap missed the idea of the displacement in the 3rd dimension...of a non compressible lower/higher dimensional space time metric....

Say, Holy Diver
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid
Jump, jump, jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Some light can never be seen, yeah

But if you have a Quantum view of Physics this is all wrong.

Astronomers think that the expansion of the universe is regulated by both the force of gravity, and a mysterious dark energy.

Astronomers used to believe that the earth was flat, and that the sun revolved around it.

The more things change, the more they remain the same.

Astronomers think who’s on first
Man will never have all the answers about space things are always changing to many things they don’t know what exists...........

The germ will gets us before we get answers.

Way back, when rocks were soft and I was studying Engineering, we called such constants the “finaglefactor.” The F-factor was defined as what ever you had to add to, subtract from, multiply by, or divide by to make the value derived from the theoretical formula agree with the value you got by measuring the actual physical factors.

I can see why they want to call it dark energy. Like me,I bet a lot of folks are in the dark on this.

We've known for about 20 years that the expansion of our universe is accelerating; every day, our cosmos grows bigger and bigger, doing so faster and faster.

That should help the traffic.
