Dark Energy Essay -- essays research papers

      obscure vim what is it? Dark energy is a undiscovered energy said to take up 70 percent of the universe. The energy is a repulsive gravitational effect that is causing the universe to pelt along out-ward. No one knows exactly what twilight(prenominal) energy is or where it comes from.     Dark Energy is a new idea. Little is known about dusky energy, yet it takes up a huge amount if the universe.     Scientist were able to come on the universe was expanding at an accelerated rate by measuring the red-shift of an intent by comparing the spectral lines of the elements and the spectral lines of the same elements measured in a lab. The more distant the objects that emit light the brighter the spectral lines. In 1998 scientist observed that the supernovas are becoming dimmer, which means they are getting close together(predicate) instead of farther away. They were able to show that dark energy has an specify on lig ht particles and photons. When a photon passes a beetleweed it falls into the gravitational pull, and the dark energy because it repulses gravity makes the photon pass right through the galaxy with even more energy than when it entered. These findings make dark energy in all independent of the supernova observations.     Astronomers have found the first direct evidence of dark energy in the afterglow of the Big complaint, the radiation caused by the Big Bang called cosmic microwave background (CMB). The cosmi...
