Throwing gravity and dark energy in the same basket

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the hypothesis that dark energy and gravity may be manifestations of the same fundamental force acting on objects and spacetime. The original poster expresses a desire to explore this theory despite lacking formal credentials in astrophysics or advanced mathematics. However, the community response emphasizes the importance of rigorous scientific standards, indicating that without proper qualifications, such theories are unlikely to gain traction or credibility. Ultimately, the thread was closed due to the lack of adherence to the forum's purpose of fostering scientifically grounded discussions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fundamental physics concepts, particularly gravity and dark energy.
  • Basic knowledge of astrophysics principles.
  • Familiarity with scientific methodology and peer review processes.
  • Mathematical skills relevant to theoretical physics.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the relationship between gravity and dark energy in cosmology.
  • Study the mathematical frameworks used in theoretical physics, such as tensor calculus.
  • Explore peer-reviewed literature on unified field theories.
  • Learn about the scientific community's standards for hypothesis validation and discussion.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for aspiring physicists, students of astrophysics, and anyone interested in the theoretical underpinnings of the universe's fundamental forces.

(I suck at math... but I really like physics. In school, I flunked math on a regular basis and somehow managed to get decent physics grades... in spite of terrible math skills.
But what I am good at is getting an image in my head of the physical properties of the universe and how it behaves.)

Annyways, on to my case. I think I might have found a way, a theory at least as to how and why dark energy and gravity may be the same force, exerted on an object and/or spacetime itself. I am not talking about just those two being connected, but rather being the same force acting on two entirely different things in the universe.

Unfortunately I do not have any credentials of an astrophisicist or sufficient skills in mathematics to be taken seriously. So I am wondering whether there is anyone here to at least be willing to explore this possibility together with me?

You should be aware that this is a big red flag that whatever idea you think you have come up with is extremely likely to be wrong.

Sorry, that is not the purpose of PF. Thread closed.
