Dark Energy - Confirmation of Larsonian Expansion?
Posted: Thu May 07, 2009 12:23 am
There is an interesting presentation of the recent discovery of the accelerating universal expansion here...

"We do know this: Since space is everywhere, this dark energy force is everywhere, and its effects increase as space expands. In contrast, gravity's force is stronger when things are close together and weaker when they are far apart. Because gravity is weakening with the expansion of space, dark energy now makes up over 2/3 of all the energy in the universe.
It sounds rather strange that we have no firm idea about what makes up 74% of the universe. It's as though we had explored all the land on the planet Earth and never in all our travels encountered an ocean. But now that we've caught sight of the waves, we want to know what this huge, strange, powerful entity really is.
The strangeness of dark energy is thrilling.
It shows scientists that there is a gap in our knowledge that needs to be filled, beckoning the way toward an unexplored realm of physics. We have before us the evidence that the cosmos may be configured vastly differently than we imagine. Dark energy both signals that we still have a great deal to learn, and shows us that we stand poised for another great leap in our understanding of the universe."
Doesn't his sounds exactly like the workings of Larson's postulated "scalar motion in 3D" concept? As gravity gets weaker, the new "force" takes over to move things apart.
Also, I've been thinking of the relationship between charge and gravity I uncovered awhile ago...
Since the electron mass/energy represents that magic threshold where light can become stable matter, I think there is a hidden geometric relationship between charge and mass/gravity that this is trying to tell us. What do you all think?
"From their data, the researchers obtained a value of the fine structure constant, a number that characterizes the inherent strength of the electromagnetic force. As expected theoretically, the newly obtained value of 1/128.5 is significantly larger than the 1/137 observed for a fully screened electron."
