The discussion revolves around the methods for independently determining the proportion of dark energy density relative to the total energy density of the universe. Participants explore theoretical approaches and existing literature, as well as clarify concepts related to dark energy density.
Participants express differing interpretations of the concept of dark energy density and its proportion, indicating a lack of consensus on terminology and understanding. The discussion remains unresolved regarding alternative methods for determining dark energy density.
There are potential limitations in the assumptions made about dark energy density being constant and the implications of using specific cosmological parameters. The discussion does not resolve these aspects.
From what was stated, I assume ΩΛ.timmdeeg said:What do you mean by saying a "proportion of dark energy"? It's density is constant and a tenth of it too.
