Natural Science Forum / Physics / Research / August 2008Dark energy field amplification?
If dark energy did work the same as one of the fields that we know can be amplified how would you go about it? What materials or imaginary materials would you need? What basic knowledge would you need to know about dark energy to amplify it that we don't know yet?

Of course, when something is amplified, conservation laws still hold. A guitar amplifier makes the small signal from the guitar pickup much stronger so that a loud sound is heard when it drives a speaker, but the amplifier consumes energy. For the purpose of this discussion, assume that the dark energy is the cosmological constant (there is nothing to indicate that it is not). One of its properties is that it is everywhere the same. Amplifying it would presumably involve increasing the concentration here, implying decreasing the concentration there. As far as I know, there is no way to do this. Note that there is also no way to amplify gravity.

Since it is a component of Einstein's gravitational field equation, one could even argue that it is a feature of gravity which remains unexplained, but mathematically modelled, in Einstein's formulation.

Isn't this the same type of paradox? Entanglement without Classical Correlations http://www.physorg.com/news139051854.html Imagine that I tell you that I am a billionaire, Vedral said as an example. You would then infer that I certainly have 100 million somewhere in my assets. You would be very surprised, indeed, if I told you that this was not true and that I am actually not also a millionaire. You can't have more, without have less as well (by definition). |
