Uniformity of dark energy distribution

The question that follows assumes that there can be energy
conservation in general relativity:
Dark energy is said to have a uniform energy distribution in space.But
how can the distribution be uniform if dark energy is created from
some other energy source, and energy sources such as galaxies and the
microwave background do not have a perfectly uniform distribution, and
their non-uniform distribution means also that energy sources such as
vacuum particles cannot be uniformly distributed?

if dark energy is created from some other energy source

It is highly unlikely. Dark energy accounts for about 70% of the total energy-mass of the universe. It can't come from some other source.
 
Dark energy can come from some other source provided that source is all the other matter in the universe and that in the past there was less dark energy and more of the other matter.Not a problem.This means that other matter is currently decreasing -
look at the cmbr photons - they are losing energy, gravity is getting weaker between galaxies - gravitons are losing energy.
 
Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. The Relativator was sold by (as printed) Atomic Laboratories, Inc. 3086 Claremont Ave, Berkeley 5, California , which seems to be a division of Cenco Instruments (Central Scientific Company)...
