Is dark/vacuum energy infinite because the expansion of the universe is infinite and more and more of it is created as the universe expands?
I have a question about the expansion of the universe. Is dark/vacuum energy infinite because the expansion of the universe is infinite and more and more of it is created as the universe expands?
That's a good question. According to our current understanding, the expansion of the universe is accelerating, and this acceleration is thought to be driven by a form of energy known as dark energy. Dark energy is also sometimes called vacuum energy, but it's important to note that these terms are not exactly interchangeable.
