Wow! That's exactly what I was looking for... Although I don't quite understand Lagrange Interpolation. Thanks!

You're right, but I think what I'm looking for is an equation that will equal the values of y when you plug in the corresponding values of x. Plugging in 1 will give you 13, 2 will give you 9, and so on :P.

I put the values into excel and did =LINEST(A2:A8,B2:B8,,FALSE) and it gave me -0.464285714 as the slope and 9.142857 as the y-intercept but that can't be right, so I must have done something wrong... I'm not great with excel.

It's easy to get a function from a table that follows a clear pattern, but what if the values for y (or x) don't follow a pattern? For example; x = 1 , y = 13 x = 2 , y = 9 x = 3 , y = 3 x = 4 , y = 8 x = 5 , y = 1 x = 6 , y = 5 x = 7 , y = 12 If you look at these points on a graph...

If dark energy repels things at the speed of light, does that mean if light energy is produced near it, it would repel it so hard and fast that it could actually damage things with a light beam? Basically what I'm asking is does dark energy repel light and if so could the light beams damage things?
