Dark Energy ........ WTF ???????
Discussion
Has anyone tried reading the latest BBC article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-2030... ?
I'm a physicist and it's giving me a headache.
e.g.
"So, dark energy is something that increases with time. As the Universe expands, it gives us more space and therefore more energy, and at some point dark energy takes over from gravity to end the deceleration and drive an acceleration," the Portsmouth University, UK, researcher told BBC News.
Seems to me he's saying the Universe is not only a perpetual motion machine but that it self-generates energy from nothing by forcing itself to expand !!!!!!!!!!
.................
It just got worse on BBC2 - "vacuum energy" being discussed.
I need a lie-down.
