Why is Dark Energy considered only internal to the Universe?
« on: 15/05/2020 20:11:36 »
When a tightened balloon expands above a heat source, do the interior furthersome molecules closer to the balloon surface expand more:at a faster accelerated rate,  compared to the molecules deep within the balloon? Perhaps dark energy (empty space's repulsive force) is generated exterior to the universe despite the interior's missing mass within?

Because the word "universe" means everything, and there isn't anything external to  that

Yet again, we run into the problem of definition. Multiverse theories must conflict with your definition, and although I would content that your definition is correct, common usage must admit others.  This is why I tend to favour the "Universe, universe, cosmos" usage.  There will always be nit-pickers who find fault with this, but it does obviate some potential confusion.

Definition again.  What do you mean by expanding “at a faster accelerated rate”?  Do you mean faster and/or with greater acceleration relative to molecules in different positions; or do you mean relative to the amount of heat energy each receives?

I will attempt to move this post to "New Theories" forum in a couple of days for further discussion...Yes, I was talking a string theory multiverse.

The air in the balloon closest to the heat source will warm fastest.

…..ah!...leaving this post here as opposed to New Theories...… What I was trying to express, is that the other universes of a multiverse, may have a greater external attractive influence on our universe's accelerated expansion than our universe's repulsive inflation's influence itself....
