Ok this may be another stupid Question that I always seem to ask! Does Dark Energy follow the same rule as energy? E=MC^2 or E=MC2?

Swimfit said:Thanks so much for your answer! Dark energy is a mysterious thing. From what I've read it seems to be growing stronger too.
f '(x) said:Does dark energy actually exist or is it a theory? Any proof/evidence of it?
In bound systems such as galaxies and even galactic clusters, there IS no effect of dark energy. It's like an ant pushing on a house. It's not that the ant isn't producing a force, it's that the force is so insignificant that it has no effect on what it is being applied to because there are other forces involved that swamp it.Hangtime said:Am I to understand the effect of dark energy is more prominent in areas of less baryonic matter?
No, dark energy should exist independent of mass, it seems to be a property of spacetime itself.Hangtime said:Apologies of the reiteration, but is dark energy only presumed to be a force in the presence of mass or is it based on some kind of test result?
Sort of: gravity is the counter to dark energy, but it doesn't work the same way.Hangtime said:Exactly my point. The only observable counter to the effect of Dark energy is mass. Otherwise it would be quite likely that the there would be a run away expansion event. This begs the question of why this expansion effect is increasing if the mass of the universe hasn't changed (reduced)...This maybe a subject for another thread.
dark energy is a manifestation of a constant of integration in Einstein's Field Equations.
Dark Energy is a hypothetical form of energy that is believed to make up about 68% of the total energy in the universe. It is thought to be responsible for the observed accelerated expansion of the universe.
No, Dark Energy does not follow the same rule as regular energy. Regular energy, also known as matter energy, is subject to the laws of conservation of energy and can be converted into different forms. Dark Energy, on the other hand, is believed to be a property of space itself and is not subject to the same laws as regular energy.
Dark Energy and Dark Matter are two separate and distinct concepts. Dark Matter is a type of matter that is invisible to telescopes and has only been observed through its gravitational effects on visible matter. Dark Energy, on the other hand, is a form of energy that is believed to be responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe.
No, Dark Energy is still a theoretical concept and has not been proven through direct observation. However, its existence is supported by various cosmological observations and is currently the leading explanation for the accelerated expansion of the universe.
As Dark Energy is still a theoretical concept, it is currently not possible to harness it for practical use. However, research and experiments are ongoing to better understand Dark Energy and its potential applications in the future.
