Tag: Dark Energy

Quantum field theory to the "theory of everything", no theory has given the complete truth on dark matter, dark energy, inflation and so on. Scientists are still hunting...Particles, Waves, and now fields...What's next?

Big Bang Theory doesn’t give us the whole explanation of the Origin of the Universe. It explained that the Universe started with a Big Bang or you say singularity about 13.82 billion years ago. Though we fully don’t know how it happened, we are able understand it through mathematical equations and models.

Dark Energy is an unknown and hypothetical form of energy that affects the Universe by producing a negative gravity or anti-gravity i.e. it acts against gravity. This is being theorized from the observable properties of distant supernovae, which show that the universe is expanding at an accelerating speed.

The matter we see around us like planets, stars, etc. makes up only 5% of the Universe, while dark matter makes up 27% of the Universe and the remaining by another mysterious substance called Dark Energy. The only things related to dark matter is that it’s invisible, exerts a gravitational pull that helps bind together galaxies and distorts the appearance of space.
