Mysterious force's long presence

The timescale is off (as the universe is only some 6,000 years old, Earth-time), but an interesting article.

dark energy ping.

The "dark energy" they talk about is really the influence of Satan ...

You do know, of course, how Philip Jose Farmer made the universe both billions of years old AND but 6,000 years old ~

[irishtenor]

I wonder what the speed of DARK is?

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

What?

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

There was some guy who made a convincing argument about how the universe could be 6,000 years old from the Earth's perspective, and billions of years old from another reference. Hence the 6,000 years old, Earth-time. However, the guy could have had a more Anglo surname, than your guy, but they could be the same, or have the same idea.

Dark energy makes up about 70% of the Universe; the rest is dark matter (25%) and normal matter (5%).

This statement can be interpreted as: "We ain't got the first effin' clue!"

I sounds more like Medieval "Scientists" trying to explain disease.

Philip Jose Farmer made the universe

Not in the version of Genesis I read...

[muawiyah]

The way Farmer (a professor at Indiana State University) did it was to simply have folks create a "pocket universe" ~ looked just like the real universe, and you could see all the distant galaxies and so forth, but it only extended out to the Oort cloud where it simply ended ~ the rest was just an image.

The stories he wrote about pocket universes are all quite entertaining. One is called "lava lamp world".

The timescale is off (as the universe is only some 6,000 years old, Earth-time), but an interesting article.

You seem to be arguing from a religious, rather than a scientific, perspective.

There is no credible scientific evidence for a 6,000 year old earth. There is an immense body of evidence for an earth on the close order of 4.5 billion years in age.

I wonder what the speed of DARK is?

Based on what I've seen in the Olympics, ir is significantly faster than the speed of LIGHT...

[muawiyah]

That's because you are so busy taking words out of context you idn't notice the first 14 words occur for a very long time.

What I've always wondered is why God brought all the animals and plants before Adam to name. Didn't God already know what they were called? And how did Adam get so smart ~ ?

[Onelifetogive]

There is no credible scientific evidence for a 6,000 year old earth. There is an immense body of evidence for an earth on the close order of 4.5 billion years in age.

The problem with that scientific theory is that it cannot count out the possibility that the earth was created 6,000 years ago with a 4.5 billion year history in place. That's how I would have created it...

Luke , Come over to the DARK SIDE!

But the 5% intractable force of light will always prevail:

[JerseyJohn61]

This is the first time I have seen a time line point
of 9 billion years placed upon either an emergence
or preponderance of Dark Energy.

Dark Energy is little understood, but so too is
Dark Matter. Concepts of Antimatter have been
around for several decades, but it is not certain
if the two can be one and the same. Antimatter
is conjectured about, but seldom if ever truly
seen. Dark Matter, on the other hand, has
observable Charectoristics, yet is hard to define in
present physics equations,

No expert here just regurgitating my own learnings.
