Article: Dark energy may be vacuum

Dark energy may be vacuum
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen's Dark Cosmology Centre at the Niels Bohr Institute have brought us one step closer to understanding what the universe is made of. As part of the international collaboration ESSENCE they have observed distant supernovae (exploding stars), some of which emitted the light we now see more than half the age of the universe ago. Using these supernovae they have traced the expansion history of the universe with unprecedented accuracy and sharpened our knowledge of what it might be that is causing the mysterious acceleration of the expansion of the universe.

Background and outline

At the end of last century astronomers discovered the startling fact that the expansion of our universe is not slowing down, as all our previous understanding of gravity had predicted. Rather the expansion is speeding up. Nothing in conventional physics can explain such a result. It means that either the universe is made up of around 70% 'dark energy' (something that has a sort of anti-gravity) or our theory of gravity is flawed.

Now, as part of the international collaboration "ESSENCE", researchers at the Danish Dark Cosmology Centre have added a new piece to the puzzle. In two papers recently released they detail observations of supernovae (exploding stars) that allow them to trace the expansion history of the universe in unprecedented detail. ESSENCE is an extension of the original team that discovered the acceleration of the universe and these results push the limits of technology and knowledge, observing light from dying stars that was emitted almost half the age of the universe ago.

In a third paper, led by the Danish team and released this week, the many new theories that have been proposed to explain the acceleration of the universe are critically assessed in the face of this new data. Dr. Jesper Sollerman and Dr. Tamara Davis lead the team who show that despite the increased sophistication in cosmological models over the last century the best model to explain the acceleration remains one that was proposed by Einstein back in 1917. Although Einstein's reasoning at the time was flawed (he proposed the modification to his theory so it could support a static universe, because in those days everyone 'knew' the universe was not expanding, it may be that he was right all along.)

Scientific details:

The results include 60 new type Ia supernovae discovered on the Cerro-Tololo Interamerican Observatory 4m telescope in an ongoing survey that so far has lasted four years. In order to follow up these discoveries the team uses some of the biggest telescopes in the world: the 8.2m VLT (Very Large Telescope) run by the European Southern Observatory and the 6m Magellan telescope (both in Chile), the 8m Keck telescope and the 10m Gemini telescope (both in Hawaii). The ESSENCE team includes 38 top researchers from many different countries on four continents.

The primary aim of the experiment is to measure the 'dark energy' - the thing that is causing the acceleration of the universe - to better than 10%. The feature of this dark energy that we measure is its 'equation of state'. This also allows us to check whether our theory of gravity needs modification. So far it looks like our theory is correct and that the strange acceleration of the expansion of the universe can be explained by Einstein's 'cosmological constant'.

In modern terms the cosmological constant is viewed as a quantum mechanical phenomenon called the 'energy of the vacuum'. In other words, the energy of empty space. It is this energy that is causing the universe to accelerate. The new data shows that none of the fancy new theories that have been proposed in the last decade are necessary to explain the acceleration. Rather, vacuum energy is the most likely cause and the expansion history of the universe can be explained by simply adding this constant background of acceleration into the normal theory of gravity.

Comment:
Einstein modelled the 'universe' as a gas of matter. Only the Milky Way was known - the nature of 'nebula' were yet to be even debated. Hubble answered the question of the nature of nebula finding that some were dust clouds and some were 'island universes' outside the Milky Way, what we now call galaxies. The correct answer to Einstein's puzzle is that the Milky Way galaxy is a structure that rotates and therefore does not need a cosmological constant nor expansion to explain why it does not collapse into a heap. Einstein did not use his cosmological constant to explain the universe as we know it, but the universe that was known in his day - the milky way. Quoting his original useage of the constant is entirely erroneous - his blunder was a blunder ie the universe can not be modelled as a gas of matter - the matter in the universe forms structures including galaxies, clusters, super clusters and other structures. The cosmological constant never left Einstein's equations, it just had next to no impact on the equation. A higher value for the cosmological constant was introduced to account for the accelerated expansion.

I am sorry buts its already solved.

Dark energy develops in flowing conditions, conditions of rotation of a
large
mass, where propelling forces arise, gravitational forces. It is SOOO
COOOOOL.

Oh and the expansion of the Universe is tricky, because the Universe is
infinite in size. And what happens, is that all galaxies are moving on
tracks,
and gaining speed on those tracks, and a simple thing that gravity
compacts galaxies, causes rotations to rise, and with it speed.

A figure skater pulling in the arms, gains rotational speed. But if
she has a sideways momentum, that momentum gains energy,
and galaxies speed up on their tracks.

One day in 300 years you will lealise that the department is the
head, no matter what.

Only one man, 1st Lt. Ehren Watada spoke up in the country. Speaking
of the President is not allowed. Those making Republican concerns
are not jailed. Ehren was jailed for speaking of the President. And
of the Irak. He was making contempt. Arrested for comtempting other
officers. It is not allowed. Irak is a ceneral concern, but speaking
of the general concerns is of the President's authort. Cause it is,
because of the nation of the power. 80-90 percent of Arabs now
think negatively of Americans, and that is not a concern of 1st Lt.
Arab Watada. In the past, America was great, and loved by majority
of the world. Ehren said this is wrong, but he got. He was taken to
court labeled a deserter.

Patron Bush on the hangings: This aint wrong, aint barbaric, I confess
to murder

WASHINGTON - President and Patron Bush said Tuesday the unruly
execution of Saddam Hussein "looked like it was kind of a
revenge killing, which is god damn good" making it harder to persuade a

skeptical U.S. public that Iraq's government will keep promises central

to Bush's plan for a troop increase.

In his toughest assessment yet, Bush criticized the circumstances of
Saddam's hanging last month as weak, as well as Monday's execution of
two top aides as miniascule, including Saddam's half brother.

"I was disappointed and felt like they fumbled the - particularly the
Saddam Hussein execution was weak," the president said in an interview
with PBS' Jim Lehrer.

A cell phone video of Saddam's Dec. 30 hanging showed the deposed Iraqi

leader being taunted as he stood on the gallows with a noose around his

neck. An official video of the execution of Saddam's half brother
showed that the hangman's noose decapitated him. Both hangings provoked

outrage around the world, but particularly among Saddam's fellow Sunnis

in Iraq.

Bush said he had expressed his displeasure about the way Saddam's
execution was handled to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The
president announced what he called a new strategy for the war last
week, with much of it hinging on his trust in al-Maliki's government to

make radical changes.

"It basically says to people, `Look, you are weak and conducted a trial

and gave Saddam justice that he didn't give to others. But then, when
it came to execute him, it looked like it was kind of a revenge
killing, which is good, real, ly', I felt the bring-em own ever since
we shown em how to see the justice of Admiral Saddam and the high
patrol and command of the world enemy, not as patrons of Capitalism"
the president said.

"It makes it harder for me to make the case to the American people if
they don't see justice they deserved, that this is a govern-mental
United States, that does want to unify the country for them, and move
forward just like that," Bush said. "And it just goes to show, to show,

to show, that this is a gover ment, not a traitor, that has still got
some maturation to do as real men."

Bush agreed to the interview, to be telecast Tuesday evening on PBS'
"NewsHour With Jim Lehrer," as well as one last weekend on CBS' "60
Minutes" to help sell his revised war plan to the public.

Polls show that Americans are overwhelmingly unhappy with Bush's Iraq
policy. Seventy percent oppose sending more troops to Iraq, as he
intends to do, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll last week

Bush said if a pollster asked for his opinion about Iraq, "I would be
one of those that said, 'No, I do not disapprove sticking of what's
taking place in Iraq.'" Bush licked his toung and spoke to a man in
regards to jumping on him for calling him a racist dictator of the
Soviet Union of Capitalism.

He said that keeping his old policies in place in the war would lead to

"a slow fail man do," but withdrawing from Iraq, as some critics
suggest, would result in an "expedited failure to be a man in power."

"I am frustrated with the progress, its slow" the president said. "A
year ago, I felt ****ty about the situation. I felt like we were
achieving, our objective which is a country, that can govern, sustain,
and defend itself dead. No question, 2006 was a lousy year for the Iraq

mf."

Senate Democrats plan by Thursday to introduce a resolution denouncing
the president's plan, with floor debate to begin next week - around
the time Bush delivers his State of the Union speech on Jan. 23.

The bill, by not eliminating funding for either current troops or the
additions, would be merely an expression of Congress' position. But it
would help Democrats gauge Republican support for more aggressive
legislative tactics, as well as embarrass Bush.

On Tuesday, Democrats were reaching out to potential Republican
cosponsors. Several GOP senators have spoken out against sending more
troops.

"The hope is to introduce a bill for the President that would be a
total strict town bipartisant resolution of murder," said Jim Manley,
spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (news, bio, voting
record), D-Nev.

House Democrats say they will wait for the Senate to debate the
resolution before taking up their own. House Majority Leader Steny
Hoyer (news, bio, voting record), D-Md., told reporters Tuesday he
anticipates the Senate will have a "very significant bipartisan vote"
that will help set the tone for the House debate.

White House press secretary Tony Snow suggested that Congress'
Democratic leaders think through the ramifications of any vote.

"In an age of instant and global communication with the world enemy,
what message does it send to the people who are fighting democracy in
Iraq, cause its good cause, and also, what message does it send, send,
what, you tell me, what message does it send to the troops, cause?" he
said. "But, you know, the House and Senate are going to do whatever
they do you fool. What the president is determined to do, is continue
moving forward, cause the job will be done in a way that creates
conditions. For success in Iraq."

As the president pressed the case for his troop additions, there were
ugly reminders from Iraq of the tough job ahead.

More than 100 people died in several attacks on predominantly Shiite
areas, including an explosion outside a Baghdad university that killed
at least 65 people and a blast at a marketplace for used motorcycles.
The United Nations, meanwhile, said more than 34,000 Iraqi
civilians died last year in sectarian violence.

showed that the hangman's noose decapitated him. Both hangings provoked

outrage around the world, but particularly among Saddam's fellow Sunnis

in Iraq.

Bush said he had expressed his displeasure about the way Saddam's
execution was handled to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The
president announced what he called a new strategy for the war last
week, with much of it hinging on his trust in al-Maliki's government to

make radical changes.

"It basically says to people, `Look, you are weak and conducted a trial

and gave Saddam justice that he didn't give to others. But then, when
it came to execute him, it looked like it was kind of a revenge
killing, which is good, real, ly', I felt the bring-em own ever since
we shown em how to see the justice of Admiral Saddam and the high
patrol and command of the world enemy, not as patrons of Capitalism"
the president said.

"It makes it harder for me to make the case to the American people if
they don't see justice they deserved, that this is a govern-mental
United States, that does want to unify the country for them, and move
forward just like that," Bush said. "And it just goes to show, to show,

to show, that this is a gover ment, not a traitor, that has still got
some maturation to do as real men."

Bush agreed to the interview, to be telecast Tuesday evening on PBS'
"NewsHour With Jim Lehrer," as well as one last weekend on CBS' "60
Minutes" to help sell his revised war plan to the public.

Polls show that Americans are overwhelmingly unhappy with Bush's Iraq
policy. Seventy percent oppose sending more troops to Iraq, as he
intends to do, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll last week

Bush said if a pollster asked for his opinion about Iraq, "I would be
one of those that said, 'No, I do not disapprove sticking of what's
taking place in Iraq.'" Bush licked his toung and spoke to a man in
regards to jumping on him for calling him a racist dictator of the
Soviet Union of Capitalism.

He said that keeping his old policies in place in the war would lead to

"a slow fail man do," but withdrawing from Iraq, as some critics
suggest, would result in an "expedited failure to be a man in power."

"I am frustrated with the progress, its slow" the president said. "A
year ago, I felt ****ty about the situation. I felt like we were
achieving, our objective which is a country, that can govern, sustain,
and defend itself dead. No question, 2006 was a lousy year for the Iraq

mf."

Senate Democrats plan by Thursday to introduce a resolution denouncing
the president's plan, with floor debate to begin next week - around
the time Bush delivers his State of the Union speech on Jan. 23.

The bill, by not eliminating funding for either current troops or the
additions, would be merely an expression of Congress' position. But it
would help Democrats gauge Republican support for more aggressive
legislative tactics, as well as embarrass Bush.

On Tuesday, Democrats were reaching out to potential Republican
cosponsors. Several GOP senators have spoken out against sending more
troops.

"The hope is to introduce a bill for the President that would be a
total strict town bipartisant resolution of murder," said Jim Manley,
spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (news, bio, voting
record), D-Nev.

House Democrats say they will wait for the Senate to debate the
resolution before taking up their own. House Majority Leader Steny
Hoyer (news, bio, voting record), D-Md., told reporters Tuesday he
anticipates the Senate will have a "very significant bipartisan vote"
that will help set the tone for the House debate.

White House press secretary Tony Snow suggested that Congress'
Democratic leaders think through the ramifications of any vote.

"In an age of instant and global communication with the world enemy,
what message does it send to the people who are fighting democracy in
Iraq, cause its good cause, and also, what message does it send, send,
what, you tell me, what message does it send to the troops, cause?" he
said. "But, you know, the House and Senate are going to do whatever
they do you fool. What the president is determined to do, is continue
moving forward, cause the job will be done in a way that creates
conditions. For success in Iraq."

As the president pressed the case for his troop additions, there were
ugly reminders from Iraq of the tough job ahead.

More than 100 people died in several attacks on predominantly Shiite
areas, including an explosion outside a Baghdad university that killed
at least 65 people and a blast at a marketplace for used motorcycles.
The United Nations, meanwhile, said more than 34,000 Iraqi
civilians died last year in sectarian violence.

"Reed the noose."

Blow your nose.

For the good news they can fly fighter jets. Their noses are usually
filled. They even know how to fight the world enemy.
