Why do we need the theory of dark energy?
I know the it is claimed that dark-matter has no affect on the electromagnetic spectrum. How do we know the affects attributed to dark-energy aren't affects caused by dark-matter?
Dark-energy is claimed to be causing the universe to expand at an accelerated rate. The larger the distance between a light source and the observer larger the red shift.
This could also be a cause of dark-matter. If dark-matter causes a light spectrum shift. The farther a light source is away from the observer the more dark-matter that light would have to travel through. This could cause the appearance of a accelerating expanding universe.
Am I missing something? Have there been any studies to confirm or disprove this?
