I Gravitational Field with Dark Energy: Observable Effects?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the gravitational effects of dark energy, particularly its relationship with the cosmological constant and general relativity. It highlights that while the cosmological constant contributes to spacetime curvature, its effects are negligible on solar system scales, making detection challenging. There is a comparison between the cosmological constant and Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), emphasizing that they operate in different contexts. The conversation clarifies that dark energy and dark matter are distinct concepts, with dark energy being significant only on larger cosmological scales. Ultimately, the observable effects of dark energy on matter remain minimal at smaller scales.

TL;DR Summary
how to calculate gravitational field with dark energy
since the cosmological constant observed is that there is a small amount of energy in empty space, and in general relativity anytime there is energy there is curvature and therefore gravity, how to calculate gravitational field with dark energy and does it have any observable effects on matter?

the cc is on the same order as mond ao so I wonder if somehow ao is the result of the gravity of dark energy acting on matter

You can easily add a cosmological constant term to the Schwarzschild solution - the result is Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime. However, in reality the term is so tiny that you could never hope to detect effects on the solar system scale.

Are you mixing up dark matter and dark energy? Dark matter and MOND are competing theories. Dark energy is only relevant on much larger scales where MOND doesn't work at all.
 
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?'
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...
Both have short pulses of emission and a wide spectral bandwidth, covering a wide variety of frequencies: "Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are detected over a wide range of radio frequencies, including frequencies around 1400 MHz, but have also been detected at lower frequencies, particularly in the 400–800 MHz range. Russian astronomers recently detected a powerful burst at 111 MHz, expanding our understanding of the FRB range. Frequency Ranges: 1400 MHz: Many of the known FRBs have been detected...
