Dark Energy

Dark Energy

Dark Energy is calculated to make up 67% of the known universe, while Dark Matter makes up a further 27%, while what we can actually see and measure, i.e., conventional matter, makes up less than 5% of our universe. Therefore our current model of physics only works for 5% of the matter/energy in the universe. Dark energy should explain the expansion of the universe which is accelerating faster and faster and doesn’t match up with the expected gravity, ergo some kind of energy must be fuelling it. If it doesn’t slow down, one-day inflation of space will be exponentially faster than the speed of light.
