Difference between Dark energy and Dark matter

AI Thread Summary
Dark matter and dark energy are fundamentally different concepts in cosmology. Dark matter is a type of matter that interacts only through gravity, contributing to the universe's structure. In contrast, dark energy is an unknown force driving the accelerated expansion of the universe. The two do not influence each other and serve distinct roles in our understanding of the cosmos. Understanding these differences is crucial for grasping modern astrophysical theories.

They have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Dark matter is a form of "non-standard" matter that only interacts via gravity with other matter (and itself)

Dark energy is the name given to the unknown force that causes the expansion of the universe to accelerate.

You really should learn how to use Google.
