Gravity's Effect on Universe Expansion: Dark Energy?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the concept of gravity potentially creating a "wake" in subspace, which could lead to an undetectable energy source or negative pressure affecting the expansion of atoms in normal space. It suggests that the universe's accelerating expansion might be influenced by varying gravitational forces from celestial bodies over time. The idea raises the possibility that this phenomenon could be linked to dark energy. However, the validity of the concept is challenged, with a point made that "subspace" is not a recognized term in real physics. Overall, the discussion questions the coherence of the initial premise while considering the implications of gravity on cosmic expansion.

Does gravity create a wake in subspace? If so would this wake produce a undetectable energy source or negative pressure in subspace which would indirectly lead to the expansion of all atoms in normal space that sit upon it?

If the universe's expansion is accelerating then could this be because after the initial big bang (a few million-billion years later) there were more distorting gravity forces (stars, black holes, etc...) which would produce more of the wake effect then less distorting gravity forces (gas clouds) which would have existed earlier?

Could this be dark energy?

You may think that this post is hilarious, as I know little of physics, but I thought I'd throw it out there and see if its complete garbage.

I'm sorry but your question doesn't make any sense. "Subspace" may be a term tossed around in science fiction, but this does not equate to real physics.
 
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...
