… and this is the size of the pastry one hour later….. Two things are obvious.

2. Raisin “A” has moved away at 5 cm per hour. Raisin “B” has moved away at 10 cm per hour.

Newton said that gravity is going to be attracting all things. This means that the Universe would do one of two things.
![Page 19: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The universe has enough gravity to stop the expansion of the universe, and pull it back together
![Page 20: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Universe has reached escape velocity, such that it can continue to expand forever, while continuing to slow down. It would never quite reach the point of stopping.

Find two supernova, with known characteristics, in a galaxy with a known distance, and a target galaxy.
A galaxy happens about every 100 years in an average galaxy.
![Page 25: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Find two supernova, with known characteristics, in a galaxy with a known distance, and a target galaxy.
A galaxy happens about every 100 years in an average galaxy.
So every year is you look in 100 galaxies,
Or 10 per year if you look in 1,000 galaxies.

It was expected to find galaxies here, because of gravity and them slowing down. They were not.
![Page 29: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Galaxies would be here, if they were not slowing down at all. They were not here either.
![Page 30: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Galaxies were here. Much, much farther away than they had any right to be.
![Page 31: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Einstein believed in a static universe. He kind of had to, to make his numbers work.
Lambda = 8 pi x G x density of the vacuum
![Page 32: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Albert Einstein's own numbers said that the Universe would implode upon itself.

Albert Einstein introduced his cosmological constant, or the “density of the vacuum” as a needed evil, to keep a static universe in the face of his own numbers and theories of gravity and time.
![Page 34: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
17 years later, Edwin Hubble showed that the Universe was in fact expanding, and Einstein called the cosmological constant his “biggest blunder”.
![Page 35: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Now, it seems pretty sure that the Universe is expanding at an increasing rate, and if he made a mistake, it is only that the repulsive force of the cosmological constant was of the wrong magnitude. It was not equal to gravity.
![Page 36: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
In this room the down arrow of gravity dominates, but the up arrow of dark energy is not non-existent.
![Page 37: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
![Page 38: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Gravity still dominates in our local group of 14 galaxies, but dark energy is emergent.
![Page 39: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
But in the Universe as a whole, at that great distance, the force of the density of the vacuum, the cosmological constant, dark energy, overwhelms.
![Page 40: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Dark energy is stronger at large distances, and now, because of two reasons.
![Page 41: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Dark energy is stronger at large distances, and now, because of two reasons.
At distance, gravity is weaker because of the laws of inverse squares.
![Page 42: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Dark energy is stronger at large distances, and now, because of two reasons.
At distance, gravity is weaker because of the laws of inverse squares.
Dark energy appears to be a property of space itself, and as the universe expands, there will be more and more space.
![Page 43: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Dark matter is thought to be non-luminous, weakly interactive matter that does have gravitational attraction.
Fritz Zwicky first postulated Dark Matter. He lived from 1898 to 1974. He was arrogant, abrasive, abusive and absolutely brilliant.
Dark matter, he said, supplies the gravity needed to stop galaxies from flying apart.
![Page 45: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
What is dark energy?
It may be the quantum fluctuations of virtual particles that cause the evaporation of black holes. Absolutely no one knows for sure.
![Page 46: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Any explanation of Dark Energy must include a solution for quantum mechanics (for which time is an integral part)……
![Page 47: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Any explanation of Dark Energy must include a solution for quantum mechanics (for which time is not wanted nor needed)……
And also for general relativity, in which time is an integral part.
This is the reason that Einstein hated quantum mechanics. He called it spooky changes at a distance.
![Page 48: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
How will the galaxy end?It will end in fire or ice.
![Page 49: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
The direction of the dark energy could change (again) and we could actually end in a crunch.
![Page 50: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
The direction of the dark energy could change and we could actually end in a crunch.
About a billion, billionth of a second after the big bang, gravity changed from a repulsive fore, into the attractive force we now see.
![Page 51: “ Dark ” Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56813e30550346895da81297/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desireI hold with those who favor fire.But if it had to perish twice,I think I know enough of hateTo know that for destruction iceIs also greatAnd would suffice.
By Robert Frost (1874-1963) (Poem first published in Harper's Magazine, December issue 1920)
