    The Hunt for Dark Energy

    Dark energy is supposed to make up two-thirds of the universe. But troublingly CERN has yet to find any evidence. Have we got our story of the universe wrong - might dark energy be the aether of our time? Do we need a new account of the universe, or is it too soon for such radical solutions?

    The Panel

    The BBC's Sue Nelson asks Templeton Prize winning cosmologist George Ellis, Cambridge physicist David Tong and mathematician Peter Cameron to seek the invisible.

Inflation theory it isn’t actual, because of the inertial character of the field (any field, see USM www.kanevuniverse.com ), which means that there expand our position on the galaxy, namely our Sun position, which was born on the center-area in our galaxy (at which radius you can see in USM) and after that this radius expanded until we reach to the periphery of our galaxy, where the Sun will die. Because of the inertial character of the field each new mass by which the light ray come will include this mass in dynamically interaction with our mass, which shows like dispersing of the masses. Because the including masses increases continuously this expansion will accelerate, exactly as we observe in reality. So there is no dark energy, but about the dark mass, you can see in USM, it exist but not in the nowadays imagination. So there is not big bang, it’s never happen in nowadays imagination. There is beginning but it is in any galaxy including ours……more in USM!

About the relic radiation measurement….That measurement is correct and very useful, but not like a proving ground of the big bang, because such event never happen….why? Well, You can convince yourself if you are willing to read carefully: USM www.kanevuniverse.com There You can see that to explain the unity of the fields: gravitation, electrostatic and nuclear, You need to accept the endless number of spaces, tree of them is our space, subspace and over space…. What are these spaces You can see on the shown site. The examined radiation, according to USM is radiation of the subspace where is situated the so call dark matter, which is obviously not so dark. This radiation indeed is around 13 billion years old, because this is the age of the Sun, which was born on the center of our galaxy and shifting towards the periphery of the galaxy, after around 13 bln years the Sum will die. So the temperature of this dark matter in the center of our galaxy is so huge that after that amount of years the temperature decreases into several degree ( K). Because the Sun was born from this very young matter (what exactly is this matter You can see on the site shown above), shifting towards the periphery of the galaxy, there gradually is forms the basic particles from the so call proto particle, namely: proton, electron and neutrino and they gradually become heavier and the neutrino becomes lighter, the micro cosmos is thickening and macro cosmos is expand. That is why we observe from our point of view (periphery of our galaxy) the examined radiation as like only several degree (K), but if we sink into the subspace and become part from it, then this temperature will be commensurable with the temperature of the known stars in our galaxy. The different temperature places of this relic radiation, has nothing to do with discussed hypothetical big bang. Moreover in present imagination of big bang we cannot explain how this radiation exist without any mass carrier, but only like post factor of some hypothetical event – called big bang . And many more……
