Dark Energy, Dark Matter, and "Empty Space"
I'm new to this forum, and I've looked around but did not find this discussed. Apologies if I missed it.
Has anyone in the research of Astrophysics considered the "missing mass" of the Universe to be contained in the structure of space-time itself? Given a section of so-called "empty space" between galaxies with zero particulate mass, electromagnetic radiation (such as light) still has a speed limit. The propagation of energy across space, while very fast from out perspective, is ultimately frustratingly slow. We cannot even observe our own galaxy in it's entirety because the image of the other side is how it appeared 100,000 years ago. This soup of "empty space" that has an IMPEDANCE to electromagnetic radiation has got to be made of something. Is anyone with credibility addressing this in the Halls of Science today?
