Dark Energy & Expansionary Phase

AI Thread Summary
Dark energy models suggest that during the expansionary phase after the Big Bang, dark energy may have been the dominant force due to insufficient matter formation and weak gravitational effects. This implies that dark energy played a crucial role in the universe's rapid expansion. Additionally, a request for a timetable of the universe's expansion phases was made, with a provided link as a potential resource. The discussion highlights the significance of dark energy in understanding cosmic evolution. Overall, the role of dark energy in the early universe remains a key area of inquiry in cosmology.

Do dark energy models explain anything about the expansionary phase after the Big Bang? Maybe matter wasn't formed well enough and gravity wasn't working too well, so dark energy was by a large margin, the dominant force?
Also, can anyone give me a link to a timetable of the universe's expansion phases? Thanks...

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
