WHAT DARK ENERGY ACCELERATES THE EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE?
While light from a distant galaxy travels across space, space itself, is expanding. The wavelength of the light increases, and its spectrum shifts toward red.
Closed, open, and flat once described universes destined to recollapse, expand forever, or reach a tenuous balance. But invisible energy could propel even a closed universe to eternal expansion. Many different observations suggest that the universe is flat, not curved, and that some mechanism is forcing expansion to accelerate.
