Matter distorts dark energy to create space-time

AI Thread Summary
Dark energy interacts with vacuum particles to influence the curvature of space-time, suggesting that space-time itself may have mass and energy. The discussion highlights the theoretical nature of dark energy and its constant density, which raises questions about its true nature as space. Participants express the need for a deeper explanation of these concepts to facilitate further discussion. The potential implications for the quantization of gravity are noted, as current physics struggles to quantify space-time compared to mass and energy. The conversation also touches on the idea of negative mass and its relationship to momentum and electric charge interactions.

Dark energy is space and its interaction with vacuum particles is space-time.
Matter affects dark energy and vacuum particles to curve space-time. Anyone agree?

I am not sure...
The main problem is, your statement is very short.
If you could elaborate a little more on it (what does that mean? what are the consequences?), it might be easier to discuss it.

However, you might want to check this: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=33687&page=1&pp=15

The idea I am describing there might be inspired by considerations similar to yours. (Advertisement! Yeah! :-p )

Keep it up! :wink:
 
Dark energy is only theoratical you know? Anyways explain what you mean. Its hard to start a topic with only a few sentences... :wink:
 
If I increase the size of a classical vacuum, I increase the volume of space and its density stays constant (at zero kg /m^3).Dark energy is increasing the volume of space it occupies and has constant density.So is dark energy really space?
Space-time could be dark energy plus vacuum particles - both of these would be affected by the presence of normal baryonic matter.Perhaps the effect is the curvature of space-time.I am saying that space-time could be a real phenomenon in the sense that it could have mass and energy.
So the curvature of space-time would be a real physical distortion of matter surrounding a star or planet, for example.This would help with the quantization of gravity because physicists know how to quantize mass and energy but they don't know how to quantize something as abstract as space-time.
I interpret negative mass as being mass that carries momentum in the opposite direction to which it is travelling.A virtual photon made from negative energy could account for the attraction of electric charges of opposite sign.

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...
