Dark Energy

Arrow · Post by **Arrow** » 2003-08-07 09:13pm

Slash Dot Science has a link to a story about the existance of dark energy being confirmed. The article is at http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/d ... 30805.html. I've only read the Slash Dot summary, but it does look interesting.

Now if we could only use it....

EDIT: Link fixed. Why can't all forums use the same standard tag structure...

wanna fix that link?

so, the universe is accelerating. that meanings its being pushed apart. that means theres an accelerativne force. negative gravity. lets hope new theories allow us to find ways of creating negative gravity, or whatever.

Unfortunately, we seem to know nothing about dark energy beyond "it probably exists." Harnessing it is centuries off, if it can be harnessed at all.

Fascinating. Maybe a future scientist from this board will be the one to unlock the mystery and win the Nobel.

And Shiva Archon, welcome to SD.net.

Thanks. The Ewok one comes from a very bad Star Wars D&D experience.
