Dark energy explained

Essays of gurudeva, Modern Physics

We don’t understand the excitement relating to the so-called dark energy, which is an oxymoron. It is said to be dark because it does not reveal itself through interaction. It is smoothly distributed in the sense it doesn’t fall into galaxies and clusters, (otherwise it would have been found by studying the dynamics of those objects). It is persistent in the sense the density of dark energy (amount of energy per cubic light-year) remains approximately constant as the Universe expands.

POSSIBLE TYPES OF STATISTICAL INFORMATION ABOUT A SYSTEM 3 The Schrödinger equation was devised to find the probability of finding the particle in the narrow region between x and x+dx, which is denoted by P(x) dx. The function P(x) is the probability distribution function or probability density, which is found from the wave function ψ(x)

POSSIBLE TYPES OF STATISTICAL INFORMATION ABOUT A SYSTEM 2 In modern science there is a tendency of generalization or extension of one principle to others. For example; the Schrödinger equation in the so-called one dimension (actually it contains a second order term; hence cannot be an equation in one dimension) is generalized (?) to three
