Leonard Susskind - How does Dark Energy Drive the Universe?

Dark energy, the repulsive energy of empty space, was one of the most unexpected and astonishing discoveries in recent science. Most scientists had expected that the expansion of the universe would be slowing down due to the inward pull of gravity. In fact, the expansion of the universe is speeding up, revealing the presence of dark energy. What does it mean?

[@danielpaulson8838]

@Muzaffar Zaky Those are all good lessons to know and follow. We simply attribute them to different sources. If you measured the quality of virtue and vice from everyone in the world, you would not find religious people with any different levels than anyone else. People need to take personal responsibility no matter what their religion is. Buddha existed and taught this long before Christianity and Islam. It isn't new nor is it an exclusive product of Abrahamic traditions. I hope you are a person who does gain goodness through your religious teachings. Many religious do not. And many non-religious are a bigger help than those in religion. This is observable by watching the world. People decide to be good or bad. If they need religion to do that for them, I think something is wrong with their hearts.

[@danielpaulson8838]

@Muzaffar Zaky I think I do. I have seen incredible hatred towards others, death, judgment and destruction, caused by people who used their religion and how they interpret it to justify their hatred. But, the same with historical conqueror's who were not religious. Religion does not make you good. Being good makes you good. Compassion comes from being able to sense and feel the pain and anguish of others. People make religion what they wish it to be. We're good. Peace to you my friend.

[@danielpaulson8838]

[@teezza]

I’d assumed that the uncertainty principle only applied to particles with velocity not those without velocity. Surely if velocity is zero then uncertainty simply does not apply. Does it not?

[@grandpaobvious]

To verify a velocity of zero you have to look at the particle at two different times infinitely close together, then subtract the two positions to get zero.

Hi

[@longcastle4863]

Would our formulas for calculating the effects of gravity be different if there was no dark energy? Or in other words, is gravity always having to wrestle against the force of dark energy to do it's job. And visa versa: when dark energy dominates is it always having to "push through", so to speak, the pull of gravity?

[@JamieK348]

not really I think gravity satisfies Einstein's theory of general relativity, it's just the calculations of dark energy do not satisfy or align with the observable rate of expansion, so it's not even accurate to say dark energy is what's is causing our universe to expand. It's obviously something else that we don't know about , maybe something further out than what can be observed or confirmed experimentally. But perhaps someday we will come up with an abstract idea of what it might be based on what can be observed coupled with some appropriate math....coming from someone who is a hobbyist of this and not an actual physicist btw.

[@stringX90]

[@buckanderson3520]

I think black holes drive expansion. Black holes are basically space collapsing in on itself or falling away from everything else with the exception of objects close enough to be caught in their gravity. The result is expansion. Two black holes falling away from each other means that the space between them is expanding. Now apply that to pretty much every galaxy each containing a super massive black hole. We only know that the universe is expanding because we see that galaxies are moving away from each other. You get the same result without invoking dark energy.

[@ronaldderooij1774]

This is the first time I see a physicist say that dark energy should originate from quantum fluctuations of the fields. I thought that idea was deemed impossible.

[@rfvtgbzhn]

The thing with the energies of fluctuations that should add up to a huge amount sounds very similar to the ultraviolet catastrophe concerning black body radiation before Max planck finally solved it in 1900. Maybe there will be a somewhat similar solution to the dark energy problem.

[@BillyMcBride]

If you theoretically eliminate the possibility of gravity, saying no, no, no, there was never any such thing as gravity, wouldn't that make a zero, and the balance in the cosmos would be seen by scientists? This is just a thought experiment of an idea of a massless cosmos. Thank you again for a great interview, and good lighting too.

Can I think of dark energy as being the reverse of gravity? If so, whenever we measure gravity, aren't we measuring the combination of these two forces?

[@mcsquared4319]

If you count all probabilities as real but in fact superpositions are not real but only reflect a lack of knowledge you get way too much energy, no surprise. The correct answer must be based on what is real, not on what is possible.

[@TenzinLundrup]

We know from classical cphysics and examples from observations what the possibilities are for a planet's temperature and how it gets to be what it is. But we don't know the mechanism of dark energy at all I would say. We know that the energy of the QFT (quantum field theory) vacuum is immense. It could be that that gravity (the dynamics of spacetime on large scales) is weakly coupled to the energy of the QFT vacuum. Why and how? I don't know. I am just a lay person.

[@ZeeZee9]

I got lost at the very end 🥴

[@jamesalexander5025]

There’s a reason that the more and more Einstein studied quantum mechanics and quantum theory he began to develop the belief in a sentient higher power that had a hand in creating the universe. The end of this discussion about the charges of the universe cancelling each other out which keeps dark energy minimal and their being no scientific explanation or understanding as to why that might be is one example of the reason he came to that hypothesis/ conclusion.

[@pearz420]

It's not a hypothesis because it's not falsifiable. The end of the discussion you mentioned also begins with the phrase "It's conceivable...", meaning the problem may be mathematical/theoretical in nature.

Could the hubble cosmological constant expansion of space be dark energy reduced by dark matter?

[@cosmoscarl4332]

I began forming this idea about 15 years ago. I am not a mathematician. I sent this to Fran Blanche on the comment section of her KZbin channel Fran Lab this morning. "Here's my take on dark matter and energy. Dark Matter is virtual particles welling up and disappearing in space. This is strongest at the gravitational boundaries of galaxy clusters and super clusters. Virtual particles are created by normal matter falling into singularities. So black holes create spacetime. The acceleration of the expansion of the universe, Dark Energy, corresponds to the matter trapped behind the event horizon that will be transformed into spacetime and which was slower at the beginning before gravity pulled all the matter together to form galaxies and galaxy clusters. I suspect that the black holes were the first stars created and could have been the only stars that could exist at very early times. We don't know that there is any matter between the event horizon and the singularity, but neither do we know there isn't. That suggests that the expansion could slow in the future when all of the matter within reach and trapped in a maelstrom inside the event horizon of all the black holes has been transformed. Some might say that there's not enough matter in the universe to cause all the expansion we see but subatomic particles can be in more than one place at a time. Everything's recycled. All the way down to the subatomic level. The virtual negative gravity caused by virtual particles , while having the potential to cause the universe to explode is kept in check at these so called gravitational boundaries around galaxysuperclusters and smaller galaxy clusters. I hear there is some possible new evidence that spacetime isn't as homogenous as they think and it doesn't or isn't expanding evenly everywhere. It's governed by gravity just like everything else but in a different way. It's not attracted to matter but expansion rates vary depending on the local mass. It's more like galaxy clusters, ie, larger masses are fizzing at their boundaries with spacetime and pushing each other apart. Kind of like PVC glue twirling around in a bucket of water. Leonard Susskind would like that idea since he used to be a plumber. The only place spacetime that isn't expanding is where local gravity is stronger than the repulsive pressure. This makes the great voids between galaxy filaments. So feeding black holes are creating spacetime. Dormant or inactive black holes are burning up their reserves or not creating anything. My idea is also another way for black holes to evaporate. Any body out there. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Mostly like to hear your thoughts on this Fran. If you care to. Great live show! (To Leonard Susskind) I'm not a mathematician but I used to be an electrician and a plumber for a short time before that. I'm now retired and on disability from an on the job accident that injured my back. I now do astrophotography as a hobby and I hope for it to be a business on day. I've been listening to you guys for years. Any and all science, especially cosmology and astronomy and this idea is born out of all that. I don't know if these thoughts are original or not but I just feel a need the talk to people about it. I'm also a visual artist and a painter and I feel that has helped me visualize some of these ideas even though some of it takes place in places we can't see. Or all of it. I hope you see this. I know how hard it is for people on the outside it is to get information to mainstream scientists. And I also know how difficult it can be for mainstream science to accept or investigate new ideas beyond the "popular" and favorite well established theories, but I feel much of that is the male ego and it is counter productive to progress. Ego just gets in the way of science. I feel that men are going to ruin our planet if they don't stop with the pissing contest and get right with the opposite sex and all the other life here on Earth. We need a free exchange of ideas without pride or prejudice to optimize scientific progress and help save our planet and all the species in it.

[@Deciheximal]

Perhaps this dark energy we expect DOES exist far outside our observable universe, the eternal exponentially expanding inflaton field. Big bangs are just the area where it slows down. Imagine if this much matter is being generated all the time in the inflaton field, it just doesn't matter because the matter is suddenly casually disconnected.
