Dark matter and dark energy

  1. Do you think dark matter and dark energy interacts with time in the same way that we do?

    1. Although it is possible for dark matter and energy to interact with time the same way that we do, it is very unlikely because dark matter and energy is what is causing our universe to expand, thus influencing time itself. This is because time is relative to the spin of our universe, and if the universe becomes bigger, then time will be altered because the universe will take a longer period to completely turn.

  2. How are WIMPS disbursed around the universe?

    1. WIMPS are our best guess to explain what dark matter and dark energy is, and beings that dark matter and energy compile roughly 95% of our universe, WIMPS are thus disbursed densely throughout.

    1. Dark energy's existence is our best guess at what is causing the universe to expand, found through images from the Hubble Space Telescope and by examining Einstein's discarded cosmological constant. It's hard to call it a discovery, beings that we can't actually see it ourselves, but it is our current best guess to the situation.
