Dark Energy: Are We All Missing The Obvious?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between quantum mechanics and dark energy, specifically questioning the origin of particles generated through spontaneous quantum events. The original poster (OP) explores whether these particles occupy pre-existing space or create new space upon emergence. The conversation highlights misconceptions about virtual particles, emphasizing their role in mathematical models rather than as physical entities. The OP expresses frustration over the lack of inquiry into these fundamental questions within the scientific community.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with concepts of dark energy
  • Knowledge of particle physics and virtual particles
  • Basic grasp of cosmological theories
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of Quantum Field Theory on particle generation
  • Explore the concept of vacuum energy in relation to dark energy
  • Study mathematical models of dimensions in physics
  • Investigate current theories on the nature of space and time in cosmology
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, cosmologists, and students interested in the intersections of quantum mechanics and cosmological theories, particularly those exploring the nature of dark energy and particle emergence.

TL;DR
Just something that keeps me wondering!
Well, I am not making any exciting claims or anything, just asking a question that I cannot stop asking myself.

WE all know the Quantum theory on spontaneous generation of particles in a vacuum etc and many have asked is this linked to dark energy somehow. I like to try Einstein type Thought Exercises when thinking about Cosmology and my POV sometimes finds these Questions that I Do not see any one else asking.
The Question that I have been pondering for the last 2-3 years is still not being asked by anyone else despite me trying to find Email addresses for Universities and Professors to send the question to.

My Question is this:-

When any particle, no matter how small or sub atomic is generated by this Spontaneous event of Quantum Mechanics Where Does it Come From? Does it just appear occupying a random, already Existing Piece of Space? Or Does it come from the Sub Atomic universe between the Space of our Universe and in the Process create NEW SPACE to occupy? If it slides between our dimensions it has the potential for that breach to expand into the space it needs in our Universe. Once The Quantum Event has finished we have a particle in newly created Space which wants to return it's energy and Dissipate. back into nothing but The Space created by it's action of Emergence is Permanent.
Why is Nobody Asking This Question and Doing The Maths?

The Presence of Other particles or matter could prevent the breach from expanding and even inhibit the particles emergence which is why it is so called Vacuum Energy, it needs the absence of other particles supporting the surrounding space.

Well, actually, that's a popular misconception. Virtual particles are part of the mathematical calculations, but are not physical particles.

If it slides between our dimensions
While travelling between dimensions remains a popular science fiction concept, mathematical dimensions describe coordinate systems.

Whelp, since the OP is on a 10-day vacation from PF for some posts in other threads, I think this thread can be closed now. :smile:
