Dark Matter and Dark Energy

Dark energy and dark matter are commonly found to disprove common knowledge in the world of science but still, these two forces are unknown and untapped. Both dark energy and dark matter are commonly referred to as one another but, in fact they’re different. The two are mostly found together but, dark matter may have been found to be linked to primordial black holes. One may ask, “What is dark matter and energy and how did they get their names?”. How they get their names is simple, they’re dark which means that they’re unperceivable in the forms of energy and matter we’re used to seeing in the universe. On the other hand, what dark matter and dark energy …show more content…
This is because of it’s even distribution throughout the distance and time amongst space. Gravity doesn’t affect dark energy directly but there are correlations between the two by translation. If we are ever certain on the role gravity plays in the universe, humanity as a whole will be closer to finding out what exactly the enigma of dark energy is. Dark energy and dark matter are based off of uncertainty in the sense; that we cannot identify exactly what they are, if and how we can harvest them, and everything that they can do. A large contributing factor into why dark matter and dark energy aren’t understood is because dark energy is not derived from matter or radiation. Even though dark matter and energy are linked, dark energy does not come from dark matter. The theory of general relativity cannot explain dark energy because it can not be applied to particles as small as atoms which is another reason why dark energy is not fully …show more content…
With the recent discovery of the Higgs Boson, testing has been run at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by colliding protons together to form a reaction. This has brought up the concern of the possibility of creating dark matter which would not be able to be detected. It is predicted though that the Higgs Boson particle may decay at dark matter. What that means is that the aforementioned particle has the potential to be ineffective in the presence of dark
