Darkenergy Selfproofs 

Research in the Current Paradigm is devolutionary in character. There are two main forms of this devolution: either discoveries are made and explanations are sought or extrapolations are made and proof is sought. 

In contrast, the Malta Template is resolutely evolutionary. Following the Darwin Templature methodology, it kickstarts with the least substantial object that can be justified by the current factbase and evolves it forward in time and upward in size. Thereafter, the Template must selfprove by evolving from the kickstarting object into a Universe that looks and acts exactly as does the Universe about us - if it cannot do this the Template is wrong and must be rethought.

SELFPROOF 0401 - DARKENERGY

CURRENT PARADIGM

  • EXPANSION RATE.      According to measurements, the universe's expansion rate was decelerating until about 5 billion years ago due to the gravitational attraction of the matter content of the universe, after which time the expansion began accelerating. The source of this acceleration is currently unknown. Physicists have postulated the existence of dark energy, appearing as a cosmological constant in the simplest gravitational models as a way to explain the acceleration. According to the simplest extrapolation of the currently-favored cosmological model (known as "ΛCDM"), this acceleration becomes more dominant into the future. (Wikipedia - 13 May 2016)
  • THE UNIVERSE can be defined as everything that exists, everything that has existed, and everything that will exist. According to our current understanding, the Universe consists of spacetime, forms of energy (including electromagnetic radiation and matter), and the physical laws that relate them. The Universe encompasses all of life, all of history, and some philosophers and scientists suggest that it even encompasses ideas such as mathematics and logic. (Wikipedia - 01 Jan 2017)
  • THE COSMOLOGICAL PRINCIPLE is the notion that the spatial distribution of matter in the universe is homogeneous and isotropic when viewed on a large enough scale, since the forces are expected to act uniformly throughout the universe, and should, therefore, produce no observable irregularities in the large-scale structuring over the course of evolution of the matter field that was initially laid down by the Big Bang. (Wikipedia - 01 Jan 2017)
COMMENTARY

The Current Paradigm notion of darkenergy is a conflation of two unrelated phenomenons. These are:  a) an energy that permeates the Universe, and:  b) the accelerating expansion of the Universe. Herebelow, the two phenomenons are addressed separately.

a)     AN ENERGY THAT PERMEATES THE UNIVERSE.

The notion that such an energy exists keeps surfacing in different forms to explain ill-understood phenomena while staying within constraints imposed by the Current Paradigm. In the Malta Template such an energy does evolve and is an integral part of the structure of the Universe. Consider the following:
  • That every object in the Universe is either a graviton or it is directly or indirectly made of gravitons. (Conclusion 0101-01)
  • That every graviton attracts every other graviton in the Universe at a rate proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. (Conclusion 0103-01)
  • That the Universe at Moment Zero consisted of gravitons drawn together to the limits of their rejectivity. (Assumption 0202-02)
  • That at Moment Zero the Universe is 100% dense and its energy is 100% kineticenergy. (Conclusion 0204-01)
  • That at Moment Zero, because the Universe is 100% dense and its energy is 100% kineticenergy, it must expand. (Conclusion 0204-02)
  • That as the Universe expands, the rate of that expansion decelerates commensurately with the progressive transmutation of kineticenergy to potentialenergy. (Conclusion 0204-04)
Every object in the Universe is either a graviton or it is made of gravitons. Gravitons are extremely insubstantial and are everywhere. Every graviton has mass and thus gravitypull. The gravitypull of every graviton is mutually exercised with every other graviton and thus every graviton is gravitonpaired with every other graviton in the Universe. Because of their mutual gravitypull, every gravitonpair has a measure of energy as a mix of kineticenergy, potentialenergy, and latentenergy.

Because the Universe is permeated with gravitonpairs, it is permeated with energy. This energy is NOT that which is currently accelerating the expansion of the Universe.

NOTE:     The Universe is permeated with energy because at its most fundamental level it consists of vast numbers of gravitonpairs and, since each gravitonpair consists of two gravitons, it simultaneously consists of vast numbers of gravitons. Every graviton has a measure of mass and thus a measure of gravitypull. This "hidden" mass is the darkmatter that is known to have a marked affect upon the internal structure of the Universe. For a comprehensive description of darkmatter, its effects, and its distribution, see Selfproof 0501.

b)     THE ACCELERATING EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE.

There is consensus among Current Paradigm researchers that the expansion rate of the Universe is currently accelerating and has been doing so for the past five billion years or so. In the evolutionary Malta Template, the increase in the expansion rate does arise. Consider the following:
  • That the gravitypull of the blackhole core progressively decreases as its density decreases and it ejects mass and energy into the gravitonosphere. (Conclusion 0403-03)
  • That the gravitypull of the Universe's gravitonosphere progressively increases as it absorbs mass and energy from the blackhole core. (Conclusion 0403-04)
  • That until 5 billion years ago, the gravitypull of the blackhole core dominated the gravitypull of the gravitonosphere and thus the expansion rate of the blackhole core was progressively decelerating. (Conclusion 0403-05)
  • That from 5 billion years ago, the gravitypull of the gravitonosphere has dominated the gravitypull of the blackhole core and thus the expansion rate of the blackhole core has progressively accelerated. (Conclusion 0403-06)
In the Malta Template, the expansion rate of the Universe's blackhole core is currently accelerating due to the imbalance between the decreasing mass of the blackhole core and the increasing mass of the surrounding gravitonosphere. In the Current Paradigm there is no consensus as to the cause of the acceleration although there is consensus that the cause will be found within the blackhole core.

NOTE:     If the Malta Template Universe could be viewed from the outside, its form would be much like that of a giant elliptical galaxy - M87 for example - but on a much larger scale. At the centre, rather than one blackhole, there is a core of blackholes that is surrounded by an extensive gravitonosphere, with the whole being set within a uberuniverse. Our own Planet Earth is somewhere in the midst of the blackhole core, moving around its own blackhole - possibly Sagittarius A*.  

The blackhole core of the Universe is permeated with darkmatter which is actually the gravitonospheres that surround its blackholes. The darkmatter effect is the gravitypull exerted by these gravitonospheres. The darkenergy that supposedly permeates the Universe is actually the gravitonosphere that envelopes the blackhole core. The darkenergy effect is the gravitypull being exerted on the blackhole core by the Universe's gravitonosphere. Darkenergy is just darkmatter in another place.  

CONCLUSION

The Malta Template is rigorously evolutionary. This means that if objects, mechanisms, or processes that are integral to the Current Paradigm do not evolve into place with the facts to hand, attempting to incorporate them into the Template is dishonest. Within the Template's description of darkenergy, two of the Current Paradigm's most favoured quasifacts do not evolve.
  • The first is that at 10-43 of a second after the beginning of the Universe, all of spacetime is contained in a point one billionth the size of a nuclear particle. The implication taken from this is that the Universe is all there is which means that the later acceleration in the expansion of the Universe cannot be caused by an external factor - hence the notion that darkenergy is pushing the expansion from inside.  
  • The second is the Cosmological Principle: the notion that the largescale structure of the Universe in that part of the Universe that we can see is typical of the whole Universe. As of now, this is impossible to empirically confirm one way or the other but the consensus among researchers is to assume that it is true. 
Notwithstanding their omission, the Malta Template description of darkenergy agrees with every relevant fact in the Current Paradigm and, because it does so without a need for unproven physics and unjustifiable assumptions, can be safely regarded as selfproved. That Current Paradigm researchers have as yet been unable to produce a satisfactory description of their own may well be due to their peer-pressure driven need to incorporate the above two quasifacts.
