Harnessing the Power of Dark Energy

AI Thread Summary
Dark energy is a controversial concept introduced to explain the accelerating expansion of the universe, but some argue it is a flawed idea stemming from outdated models of the Big Bang. The discussion suggests that if dark energy were tangible, it might be harnessed through specific organic materials, though this remains speculative. Theoretical frameworks like Einstein's cosmological constant and quintessence attempt to describe dark energy, but their validity is debated. Critics view dark energy as a product of scientific imagination rather than a concrete phenomenon. Overall, the conversation highlights the uncertainty and ongoing debate surrounding the nature of dark energy.

If this 'Dark Energy' is actually 'energy', how would we go about tapping into it and convert it to something we can use? (or at least see it work)

dark energy is a load of old cobblers. It was invented to fudge a huge flaw in a model for the big bang which was based rigidly on modern physics. It is a figment of deluded scientists imaginations!

Harnessing it could involve combusting a certain type of organic grey matter.
 
Dark energy serves as an attempt to explain an observation that the expansion of the universe is speeding up. The ideas surrounding it are quite tentative - Einstein's cosmological constant - energy of the vacuum (a quantum effect). There is an alternative model called quintesscence. As you can see, it is all quite speculative.
 
Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...

Thread 'Is Gravity an entropic property like Surface Tension'

Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
