Is there a quanta associated with dark energy?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the existence of a quanta associated with dark energy, potentially linked to Einstein's cosmological constant. Questions arise about whether this quanta would be a boson or fermion and if it could have a supersymmetric partner if supersymmetry (SUSY) is considered. There is speculation about the possibility of extending the Standard Model (SM) to incorporate dark energy quanta. However, participants acknowledge the current lack of observational evidence for dark energy, making definitive conclusions elusive. The conversation highlights the uncertainty surrounding the nature of dark energy and its theoretical implications.

not sure if here or beyond standard model or higher energy physics is the best place -- mods feel free to move to best forum.

suppose dark energy does exist and is part of einstein's cc.

is there a quanta associated with it, and is it boson or fermion? if SUSY, then does this quantum also have a SUSY-partner?

could the SM be extended to include the quanta of dark energy?

I don't believe anyone knows yet. We have no observations of dark energy, and so probably can't say with any decent degree of certainty, what it is.
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

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?'

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...
