] "Observations of distant quasars distorted by massive ] invisible objects have provided fresh evidence that the ] Universe is mostly made up of mysterious "dark energy". ] The research indicates that around two thirds of the ] Universe consists of dark energy, a strange ] "anti-gravity" force affecting distant objects. This is ] consistent with previous studies, such as those on very ] distant supernovae explosions. ] These indicate that the Universe is expanding at an ] increasing rate, because the supernovae are dimmer than ] would be expected for a Universe without dark energy." If anyone knows of any good books or other information on this "dark energy", let me know:) Sounds pretty interesting. New Scientist - Quasars put lens on dark energy |
