Largest-Ever Survey of Cosmic History Confirms That Dark Energy Exists, Is Tearing the Universe Apart

I think this is the Dark Lord at work!! 8 Billion years ago he cursed the universe with black magic ... so we have dark energy and dark matter. There!! here is your explanation popsci ;D

Gooodddd..... Gooooddd......

- Darth Lithicus

Can anyone see where I parked the car?!

@kamydon: that was the Dark Lord Chuckles the silly piggy right?

@BubbaGump: yeah its over by the blackhole

I know there is a reason to study this stuff beyond "Because we don't know what it really is?" and really I don't care to know why so long as it is done. Knowledge for Knowledge sake.

Its great to know the whole universe. But please don't forget to take care of the family.

wow. so one day the moon will be as far away from the earth as pluto is? its amazing. maybe dark matter and dark energy is the blood of a super being and the universe is his brain which consists of planets and galaxies and everything else in our universe and we are its white blood cells.

Hey Mom! Look at me! I am here! I am jumping up! Do you see me! Mom! Mom! Hey!

The Universe is 13.7 billion years old. Compared to what? This suggest a starting point. What came before the starting point. How long ago was that? Why a starting point at all? If you have a point, this suggest an exterior. A point has a bottom, top, sides, beginning and a future. We know the points future, we are currently in it as a present as we contemplate the past. But what about the time before the past and what was outside the point, when it was just a little baby point? Yes we are focusing on the point of origin, but what about all that space. And what is at the edge of space. Is their an edge to space, a wall maybe. What about the wall? How tall and thick is the wall. Is the wall older or younger than the point. Can I climb over the wall. Are there people outside the wall trying to come in. Why do they want to come in. Are they hungry. I have nothing to offer them. All I have is stupid little point. I think I have lost my point. Has anyone seen it?

To all the above comments...

ARE YOU HIGH?!

You think This is gaining "Knowledge for Knowledge sake"?!

This is one of the most important discoveries of the human race. We learn these things to do other things like, oh, I don't know, travel faster than light, colonize other planets, further our race by understanding its origin.

Please stop smoking so much weed... thanks.

@Seatellite

Would you prefer the Jesus Saves comments poisoning every article? How about long ranting about aliens and their plans for us? I find the nonsense posted above an upgrade over the usual.

@Siromar

... ok your right...

To answer your question, I would like neither. I would like, however, an engaging dialogue between intelligent people who are actually interesting to read...but... who are we kidding... it's the internet...

It is the work of the Daleks…

@Siromar alien Jesus has plans to save us.

I think it would be funny if dark energy was really just the effect matter has on space/time. Spend all this time looking for mysterious particles and all along it was warped space.

@seatellite

This particular data doesnt really mean much other than the fact that everything is tearing apart. We are so infinitesimal that I am not sure we will ever trully grasp this and if we did we could really do anything with or about it.

Dark energy is equal to the questions of what is in outer space. I don't know, its dark. But if you happen to have a really big desk, a high position, receive lots of GOVERNMENT grants, then you add lots of math and complicated words, to keep the grants a coming..
It's all theory ya know....

@BubbaGump
The edge of the universe is a wall of time.
As the universe stretches, time slows such that you'll never reach the edge because time is fighting against you. You just keep slowing and slowing until you stop at the 'edge'.

I think the use of the term "confirms that dark energy exists" in the title of the article is too strongly worded. The survey continues to support the notion of dark energy given our current understanding of gravitational theory. Unfortunately that theory is not well understood over cosmological distances. Dark energy was a contrivance by cosmologists to fit with what they saw and their understanding of gravity. Who knows, as our understanding of gravity improves or simply changes, the invented contrivance may one day prove unnecessary.

I am all for theories. Hey a person got to start somewhere. It may as well be his best guess and his imagination. From theories we contrive test to validate and make fact.

I am going to call dark energy by the proper term "negative energy."

Newton's gravitational constant G is equal to the speed of light squared divided by the linear mass of the universe. Linear mass is so many kilograms per meter. The speed of light squared is the angular frequency of space squared times the Planck length squared. The Planck length is the bottom geometrical limit of our dimension in meters.

Thus the gravitational constant is equal to the angular frequency squared divided by the mass density. The mass density being the linear mass divided by Planck length squared (kilograms per cubic meter).

By crossing a magnetic field with an electromagnetic field, negative mass density is produced over time.

Thus the gravitational constant is negative because it is inversely proportional to negative mass density. Because the force of gravity is proportional to G, the force of gravity becomes negative so things fly apart.

This phenomenon can be seen in Richard Hoagland's NASA Space Shuttle video where the alien mothership shoots out into outer space with an acceleration of millions of g's. By creating negative energy, they reversed the gravitational field so that they are repelled from earth. Using another technique, they make the mothership weightless by bringing in low-density hyperspace energy around the hull. So the force is large and negative, the mass is almost zero, and the mothership accelerates at a tremendous speed away from earth, avoiding the rail gun attack by our destroyers located in the Australian harbor.

G = c*c/Omega
c*c = omega*omega*Λ*Λ
G = omega*omega*Λ*Λ/Omega = omega*omega/Omega/Λ*Λ
G = omega*omega/(-ρ)
G = -omega*omega/ρ
which is a negative gravitational constant.
c = speed of light
G = gravitational constant
omega = angular frequency of the universe
Omega = linear mass of the universe
ρ = mass density of the universe
Λ = Planck length

"To measure this, the researchers used a 3-D map created by NASA’s Galaxy Evolution Explorer, which identified bright, young galaxies in the distant universe." The 3-D mapped used for the measurment is itself outdated since galaxies are moving apart with big velocity. According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the position and velocity can't be measured simultaneously.fussy.

@Ananta

That only applies to quantum mechanics. You cannot know both the position and velocity of a particle. You can measure those properties for larger objects with ease. For an example, you can say a car is driving north at 30 m/s and is currently at such and such coordinates.

I like the theory ( forgive me for no remembering the scientists name) that explains the universes expanding because other universes beyond ours are affecting it gravitationally. Kind of an interesting way to explain dark energy, expansion due to gravitational influence from other universes.
To get a better explanation watch episode 2 of Naked science.
@Ananta - One Problem with Coming up with a grand unifying theory is what you described. Phenomena that happens at the particle level (such as the uncertainty principle) does not apply on the cosmic scale, or at least we don't understand how it does.

I have a book written for Maple 12 by a professor who derives the uncertainty principle for any wave. Instead of reduced Planck's constant divided by 2, he gets pi/2.

So the principle applies at any scale.

This could be the key to teleportation. Notice in the original Super 8 movie of the Beamship teleporting away, the countryside turned a green color. Green is the color of light between space and hyperspace. So they are using a very low mass density because the speed of light in hyperspace is 1 meter/second.

To see this, reduced Planck's constant is linear mass of the universe * Planck length squared * speed of light. Momentum of space is linear mass * Planck length * speed of light. So the change in distance is Planck length/2 which is Planck wavelength per 4pi solid angle of a sphere. The Planck wavelength is the boundary of our dimension with the Planck mass (linear mass * Planck length).

See if you can figure out how teleportation works!

I'm still so fascinated by the fact that we cannot SEE dark matter, but it has such a drastic effect on our universe.

Wouldn't this imply that either:
A) Dark Matter must be a perfect black-body radiator (leaving it 'invisible' to our eyes because of the lack of any sort of light - akin to a Black Hole)

B) If not, Dark Matter would need to travel with v > c, because if something were to travel faster than the speed of light, we would be unable to see it moving around us.

Option A seems more plausible, but what about option B? If we actually found a particle that could travel with speeds in excess of c, what would be THAT particles limit? Maybe it cannot travel SLOWER than c ( in respect to our normal matter being unable to travel FASTER than c ). That would make "finding" these particles rather difficult!

Hail alien jesus!

No seriously, this is amazing science. I am always fascinated when we crack open a sliver from the universes box of secrets. It's almost as fun a reading all these random ass coments, scribed from the minds of moms basement intellectuals. Don't pretend to understand one crumb of how this magic ball of dust and gas works it's voodoo. Now help me light this bong. 8}

0/0 is the answer to the riddle.

@Give_ammo...LMFAO, duuuude, fire it up!

Perhaps we're looking at this dark energy the wrong way
here's my hypothesis, Dark energy could be a representation of "time" in space.
What if this "dark energy" tearing the universe apart is not really tearing anything apart at all.
Perhaps the universe is still a miniature representation of what we think of it to be, and everything is right next to each other, but because of this, "dark energy"-effect if you will, it seems as if we are "millions" of light-years away from one another.

Space travel takes so much time, cut what if we could "skip" the dark energy, perhaps we could travel trough time?

What do you guys think?

@rAvez - Talking about traveling through time, I was talking to someone about a device that produces a linear gear tooth space-time curvature that is used as an anti-gravity elevator. I was surprised when he mentioned a similar device being developed at a university in California, possible UCLA, that produces this same curvature, yet they use it to move forward or backward in time.

Einstein's Theory of General Relativity does have a pressure component along the centerline of the tensor. The tt-component, which is the time component in the upper left hand corner of the matrix, mimics the pressure component. So there is a time-travel component in the calculation.

Of course Billy Meier traveled back in time with Semjase and he said the air was much purer then than today. She also moved a tree in another location in the past so that the Beamship would not get entangled with it in the future.

Andrew Basiago was also a time traveler into the future where he saw Obama and Bush becoming president. Bush didn't bother reading the memo about the attack because he already knew it was going to happen. Apparently FEMA moved their office closer to ground zero, and the Pentagon moved Cheney's office to the other side of the building to avoid the crash.

The other thing to study is the time warp field where plants develop quickly in the field where time is speeded up. I have seen a woman put a seedling in the palm of her hand and then when she opened her hand up, the seed had leaves on it. She was teaching others to do the same thing.
Since we are about to have another 2 billion people on the planet, this might be a way to feed them by having many harvests in one year.

Do you do this to provoke us?? You should seek help, guy. And I'm talking about help from REAL doctors. Not imaginary time travelling pleiadians helping you through their Spacetime zero point bending magic ultra-dimensional unity device.

@Siromar - You need to watch the Pleiadian Connection Super 8 movies taken by Billy Meier in Switzerland. You can gain all sorts of insights into their technology such as propulsion, teleportation and anti-gravity elevators.

After making contact with over 1,200 alien civilizations, I can say these are really nice people who, in spite of their advanced civilizations, never talk down to you, are well motivated, polite, highly educated in many fields and governed by a triad of the president, science adviser and legal/financial officer for the entire planet.

You should make contact with them and decide for yourself.

how can i make contact with these beings?

@lumberjackjake - In order to make contact with these beings you have to become telepathic. There are several ways to do this.

1. Get the first three Hemi-Syncing Gateway Experience compact disks from the Monroe Institute. The program called "Lift Off" will resonate your energy field at its natural frequency to the extent of popping you out of your body. You will float around for a few minutes and then be pulled back into your body.

2. Purchase a pendulum kit with an alphabet chart. The human energy field produces a circular gravitational field which, when interacting with the gravitational field of your spirit guide, will spell out the guides answers to your questions that you have written down in a notebook. To start with, holding the pendulum, ask to see the direction of your YES answer and then the direction of your NO answer. These swings should be at right angles to each other or swing in opposite directions. Always use spiritual protocol: Can I? May I? Am I Able? and then ask to open the pendulum. Ask to speak with your guide or someone with an energy equal to or higher than your energy. Accumulate several notebooks of conversations. Close the channel by saying "Close pendulum."

3. Build the Black Mirror to learn how to project your energy field, such as the spiritual eye, to other parts of the earth or to other planets. In the black mirror you will see red and blue color patches that indicate that you are about to project to a remote location where you can walk around and see what is going on.

4. Build up your energy field in order to last at least a minute to three minutes when conversing with other beings. I like "Embracing the Moon" of Tai Chi, Qi Gong breathing and the Bear to stimulate the chakra energy vortices. Check out my Chi Energy Amplifier patent application or my Walking Through Walls Training System using momentum walking which is based on space-time geometry that puts you tangent to the mass of the universe and the inverted tetrahedrons.

After a while, you will become telepathic and no longer need the pendulum. Listen for the songs of the musical gateway and answer them in order to communicate with the aliens over distances of 80,000 light years or more.

do psychedelic drugs have any spiritual properties at all?
like enhancing my ability to communicate with spirits or raise my awareness and or perception?

@lumberjackjake - I don't use drugs so I don't really know.

From what I have read, long term use of psychedelic drugs will be detrimental to the brain because of the overstimulation. Cocaine, for example, burns out your synapses so that you become a zombie. And synaptic energy is what flows through the light cords to update your quantum well energy field. This leads to loss of memory and little emotional feelings for others.

In the light cord you have energy flowing per unit area, which is really force per distance known as a spring constant. You need this spring to keep you in your body. If you are not in your body, there is no chi energy to keep your organs healthy and functioning correctly.

The use of drugs provides open territory to demonic beings who can then enter your body and take over. As spiritual healers, this not an uncommon problem in people. It requires using special energy techniques to get the unwanted being out and converted into an angelic being.

The system I have outlined is involved with energy, not chemicals, so it can be used to develop our natural, but latent, abilities. You need to be in complete control of yourself when talking to aliens because it is a rather mind boggling experience.

So I don't recommend drugs or chemicals.

@johnstclair Why are you on popsci? Why don't you just ask you alien friends to keep you posted on technology updates?

@BlackLineAddict - The thing is that if humans got their act together, then the Pleiadians would transition earth into the Pleiadian Federation. Earth would be the 601st planet to join if we decide to do so.

They would update our technology and give us the Beamship and train us on their simulators so that we can fly these spacecraft. According to Yahweh, these are the best spacecraft in the galaxy.

So there is a lot at stake here. It doesn't do any good to tell me, "Send me a bag of mushrooms." You need to start thinking seriously about this possibility.

In the light cord you have energy flowing per unit area, which is really force per distance known as a spring constant. You need this spring to keep you in your body. If Chaussures Converse you are not in your body, there is no chi energy to keep your organs healthy and functioning correctly.

Any suggestions on how to remove this alien probe from my rear end would be appreciated.

Never crack an egg you don't wanna look at. Call it Zen. They probably believe it.

Still, all everything has shown so far is that we can still be missing something quite normal over the vastness of timespace. Are ALL of the highspeed bodies within galaxies quantified correctly? Do we even have good counts of the more stable ones? To drop accepted science shouldn't be for the mainstream with so many unknowns. We are guesstimating galactic masses of every sort still. We have no idea if there's anything missing or not. Do singularities have to exist in a galaxy forever? How long do they crank at supermassive size? If the galaxy is highly energetic and splits into parts, that's spacetime rip stuff or singularities, correct? So if the galaxy moves on then we get what's left over time. We shouldn't ALL be sayin Dark Matter or Energy if we don't know that dog hunts.

For all we know a light energy wave of unknown type could have passed our ability to detect it long ago, let alone today. We also guess old Jupiter over there. We guess the Shoemaker-Levy 9 impact. We know radii and local angular momentum which lets us guess locally. But we still have no true idea of the ranges of energies discharged into that planet because we don't truly know what each actually is where the impact took place.
