Gravity and Dark Energy
Here's my final version:
Gravity and Dark Energy
The contemporary view of the universe is that ordinary matter, stars, planets, galaxies and such, as well as biological life forms like us, make up only a few percent of the content of the universe. An additional quarter or so, is stuff that’s invisible, dark matter, which does not interact with the electromagnetic spectrum, nor does it release any detectable energy; but does however exert gravitational force on the visible matter within the universe. The rest of the pie, nearly three quarters of the universe, is made up of so-called dark energy.
The relationship between dark energy and the universe is nearly identical to the relationship that our bodies have with water– both in terms of percentage of the whole, as well as it being a fundamental or base component of the organism. Dark energy is the matrix of the universe, the substrate with which all matter connects. It is the medium, the canvas upon which the artist paints. It is the underlying vehicle, the underlying form of the universe, which facilitates the existence of all matter.
So then, three quarters of the universe is made up of this energy which, for the most part, is a mystery to modern science.
My contention here is that A.), dark energy is the universal grid, if you will, into which all things must connect, in order to exist, and B.), as matter, in order to exist, consumes this energy, this so-called dark energy, it creates the effect we have come to know of as gravity.
An overly simplistic explanation, perhaps, but must all explanations in science be complex?
""Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone""...Albert Einstein
Gravity has never been recognized for what it is – the ‘consumption stream’ of an object as it consumes dark energy. Einstein taught us that energy is mass - and that mass is energy. In effect, it could be argued, mass is simply one side of the energy coin.
There is a flow of dark energy into all matter – the larger the mass, the greater the flow. This flow might be considered as water flowing into an object from all directions. This then is the flow, the energy stream, of dark energy as it flows into mass, that we have come to experience as gravity.
Dark energy and mass are locked into an endless dance, if you will, whereby mass is continually consuming energy in order to exist. Gravity is the effect witnessed, as energy is being consumed by mass. All mass, as part of its existence, must be in a continual loop with dark energy. In order to exist within the universe, mass is locked into a cycle in which it feeds upon energy, dark energy, for its very survival.
Gravity is the consumption of dark energy. That is to say, that at its very core, gravity is the effect of energy, dark energy, being consumed by mass. Mass, in order to exist consumes dark energy. This consumption of energy, this energy stream, is what we experience as gravity.
How can matter exist without consuming energy?
Nothing can exist within a completely sterile environment, an environment devoid of everything – there needs to be an underlying framework or grid within existence. For our universe, dark energy is that underlying grid. Dark energy is an energy grid for all matter, it allows matter to plug into or connect with it, and thereby solidify its existence.
This energy flow or ‘consumption stream’, which we have come to know of as gravity, both allows for and stabilizes mass’ existence. There is a flow of dark energy into all matter – the larger the mass, the greater the flow. All mass consumes dark energy - gravity is simply the effect of this consumption.
