Notice an interest correlation between hydrogen, helium, dark matter and dark energy

In summary, the universe is thought to be made up of 75 percent hydrogen and 25 percent helium, with dark matter making up 25 percent and dark energy making up 75 percent. Scientists are uncertain about the elemental makeup of dark matter and dark energy, but they have not considered hydrogen and helium as potential candidates due to their properties not aligning with those of dark matter and dark energy. The elements of land and water have also not been suggested as candidates. Scientists do not concern themselves with numerological theories and instead focus on scientifically-backed evidence and theories.

matter in The universe is thought to be made up of 75 percent hydrogen and helium is thought to make up 25 percent of helium; Dark matter is thought to make up 25 percent of the universe and 75 percent dark energy; that's an interesting coincidence. , and currently physicists are not certain about what the elemental constituents of dark energy, and dark matter are. Why haven't the elements hydrogen and helium been suggested as the main candidates for dark energy and dark matter?

More importantly - the Earth's surface is thought to be 75% water and 25% land. Why haven't Earth and water been suggested as the main candidates for dark matter and dark energy? Or for that matter, doesn't that mean that land is really made out of helium?

This is why scientists don't concern themselves with numerological nonsense.

Not to mention that neither of those have characteristics that they should have - Dark matter doesn't interact with light, while Hydrogen and Helium do. Dark energy has negative pressure, while Hydrogen and Helium don't.

Land and water are not fundamental elements of nature that make up most of the existing matter in theuniverse, while hydrogen and helium are . Most matter is made of hydrogen and hellium, why is it none-sense to hypothesize that dark energy and dark matter is made of hydrogen and helium respectively? Hydrogen and helium don't all come n the same physical form because you have the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium and they don't share the same physical property. Perhaps there is a hydrogen isotope that doesn't interact with light out their scientists have not yet discovered that could be the leading candidate that makes of the composition of this dark energy. Quintessence , the leading candidate for the composition of dark energy have yet to be physically observed , and it is not well defined. Some physics theories proposed that dark matter could be baryonic and all normal matter is baryonic

1. What is the relationship between hydrogen, helium, dark matter, and dark energy?

The relationship between hydrogen, helium, dark matter, and dark energy is that they are all fundamental components of the universe. Hydrogen and helium are the two most abundant elements in the universe, while dark matter and dark energy are theoretical concepts that make up a large portion of the universe's mass and energy.

2. Why is there a correlation between these elements and concepts?

The correlation between hydrogen, helium, dark matter, and dark energy is due to their roles in shaping the universe. Hydrogen and helium were formed in the early universe and played a crucial role in the formation of stars and galaxies. Dark matter and dark energy, although still largely unknown, are believed to be responsible for the expansion of the universe and the formation of large-scale structures.

3. How does the presence of hydrogen and helium affect the understanding of dark matter and dark energy?

The presence of hydrogen and helium in the universe provides important clues and constraints for understanding dark matter and dark energy. The distribution and movement of these elements can reveal the presence of invisible dark matter through its gravitational effects. Additionally, the abundance of dark energy can be inferred from the expansion rate of the universe, which is influenced by the presence of hydrogen and helium.

4. Is there a specific ratio between these elements and concepts?

There is no specific ratio between hydrogen, helium, dark matter, and dark energy. However, their proportions in the universe are estimated to be approximately 74% hydrogen, 24% helium, and only about 5% dark matter and dark energy combined. These ratios are constantly evolving as scientists continue to study and understand the universe.

5. What are the implications of this interest correlation for our understanding of the universe?

The correlation between hydrogen, helium, dark matter, and dark energy provides valuable insights into the composition and evolution of the universe. By studying these elements and concepts, scientists can better understand the origins of the universe, its structure, and its future. Furthermore, this correlation highlights the interconnectedness of all components of the universe and the need for a comprehensive understanding of its complex nature.
