Is Dark Energy the best term for a phenomenon that shares little resemblance to Energy as we understand it?
Dark Energy seems to be a mysterious force that expands the spatial fabric of the universe over long distances, has little or no effect on gravitationally bound objects (except on a universal scale) and is not observable through any method aside from said effects. It doesn't seem to have its own matter analogue, DE=Dmc2 is not a thing as far as we understand and that seems to put it in an entirely different category of phenomenon than Energy doesn't it?
