Dark energy Energy Space

AI Thread Summary

Doubling the size of a classical vacuum maintains a constant density of zero kg/m^3, suggesting that as dark energy increases, the volume of space also expands while density remains unchanged. The discussion posits a relationship between dark energy and space, with one participant asserting that not all space constitutes dark energy, but all dark energy can be considered space. This raises questions about the nature of dark energy and its role in the universe's expansion. The conversation highlights the complexity of understanding dark energy in relation to the fabric of space. Ultimately, the relationship between dark energy and space remains a topic of exploration and debate.

If I double the size of a classical,non-quantum mechanical vacuum,
I double the volume of space and its density stays constant at zero
kg/ m ^3.As the amount of dark energy in the universe increases the volume of space increases and the density stays constant.Is dark energy space?

Hi kurious;

I don't think all space is dark energy. But, I think all dark energy is space.

Just my thoughts.

Thread 'How feasible is home radio astronomy?'

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
