If mass/energy were interconvertible with space, if the former were some curled form of the latter, could you explain dark energy as the uncurling of mass/energy into ordinary space?
- jb1991 2y agoIndeed that is exactly what it is.
- tsimionescu 2y agoIt's possibly even simpler than that. The equations of GR involve a constant, called the cosmological constant, which could be given any value without changing the theory. A positive value for that constant would exactly correspond to what we know about dark energy.
