The Dark Matter & Dark Energy [5/5]

Dark matter are invisible objects that react with matter by gravitational force. Scientists believe that the dark matter is made up of exotic particles like WIMPs(Weakly Interacting Massive Particles).In physical cosmology, dark energy is an exotic form of energy that permeates all of space and tends to increase the rate of expansion of the universe.Dark energy is the most popular way to explain recent observations that the universe appears to be expanding at an accelerating rate. In the standard model of cosmology, dark energy currently accounts for 73% of the total mass-energy of the universe.

All i notice is that my mind cannot comprehend this. yet i remain whit a important question i wish to be able to understand within the next 50 years (or before i die). Is our (big bang) and so our universe unique or where there more? so eventually universes could merge just like galaxy's do.

Hey guys, what did the matter say to the dark matter at the dance?

[DurexDurpaneu2]

@diemedes like mr Tom Waits(the musician) puts it: "everything goes to heeeeeell...aaaanyyyy way." ;)

@DurexDurpaneu2

Amen to that.

Taking this into account, with the propulsion of the universe by dark energy, would this mean that the dispersion of dark matter is dilluted, or to become less dense? Perhaps like blowing air through smoke or adding water to squash. So if dark matter, the substance that holds our galaxy and everything in it together, were to be "dilluted" then the very structure of everything that surrounds us will continue to drift further apart. ie moons, planets, sun, stars ect, Ok think ive got it...whimper

If we achieve cold fusion and the technological singularity , we will be a digital entity floating away into the far reaches of nothing!

Bring on the event horizon!

so are particles what makes up energy then? what is a gravity particle made of in this case ? is it the same as an atom? dark matter seems to be alot like the gap in between the atoms which means they are looking for nothing or a nothing that holds things together its actually getting me to confused for words

all of these people are nuts
