I How to Independently Determine the Proportion of Dark Energy Density?

Click For Summary
Determining the proportion of dark energy density independently from the standard method of 1 - (Ωmatter + Ωdark matter) is questioned in the discussion. The concept of "proportion of dark energy" is clarified, emphasizing that its density is constant. The reference to M. Kowalski et al. suggests that improved cosmological constraints could provide insights. The discussion hints at the assumption of ΩΛ as a key factor in understanding dark energy. Overall, the conversation revolves around the complexities of measuring dark energy density in cosmology.

Is there a way to independently determine the proportion of dark energy density to total energy density of the universe apart from using 1 -(Ωmatterdark matter )?

What do you mean by saying a "proportion of dark energy"? It's density is constant and a tenth of it too.

From what was stated, I assume ΩΛ.
