unusual facts about Dark energy


Dark energy

Alan Guth proposed in the 1970s that a negative pressure field, similar in concept to dark energy, could drive cosmic inflation in the very early universe.


Fibre multi-object spectrograph

The instrument will be used for a number of key programmes, including galaxy formation and evolution and dark energy via a measurement of the rate at which the universe is expanding.

Joint Dark Energy Mission

The Joint Dark Energy Mission (JDEM) was an Einstein probe that planned to focus on investigating dark energy.

The Dark Energy Space Telescope (Destiny), was a planned project by NASA and DOE, designed to perform precision measurements of the universe to provide an understanding of dark energy.

Renata Kallosh

Recently she has been involved in studies of the cosmology of the early universe and properties of dark energy in the framework of string theory and M-theory.

Slingers

She can manipulate shadows to form objects or constructs of solid dark energy.

Yun Wang

Currently Professor in the University of Oklahoma's Department of Physics and Astronomy, she has published over 90 refereed papers, most recently specializing on probing the dark energy in the Universe, with particular attention to the use of supernovae and galaxy redshift surveys as cosmological probes, studies of the cosmic microwave background anisotropy, and the measurement of cosmological parameters.

The science of the Dark Energy Probe was folded into the WFIRST mission upon recommendation by a National Research Council committee in 2010.

Ralph E. Gomory

Among scientific achievements, the foundation supported the widely recognized Sloan Digital Sky Survey, which has made major contributions to the problem of dark energy, and initiated a major worldwide effort to survey life in the oceans known as the Census of Marine Life.
