So many incorrect dogmas in there it's not worth the time debunking them. http://www.physics-astronomy.com/2016/0 ... 20gG6KW_MtDark energy, a repulsive force that’s accountable for the accelerating growth of our Universe, was first measured in 1998. Nobody knows what dark energy is, but several physicist including Cliff think that it’s the energy of empty space itself or the energy of the vacuum itself.
If this turn outs to be the truth, we should be able to sum up all the energy of empty space to get a number signifying the power of dark energy. And even though theoretical physicists have tried, there’s one massive problem with their answer:
Cliff said "Dark energy should be 10^120 times stronger than the value we observe from astronomy. This is a number so mind-boggling huge that it’s impossible to get your head around … this number is bigger than any number in astronomy - it’s a thousand trillion trillion trillion times bigger than the number of atoms in the Universe. That’s a pretty bad prediction."
Also in this article:
Is the same magic collider that was going to define the God Particle and failing that be repurposed into a big bang-disproving device? And now it's going to figure out how the Higgs Field is broken just enough to give the Universe existence.And there’s something about the Higgs field that remains unresolvable and continue to worry physicists like Cliff.
According to general relativity and the theory of quantum, the Higgs field should be carrying out one of two tasks, says Cliff. Either it should be turned off or turned on. If turned off, it should have a strength value of zero and automatically giving no mass to particles. If turned on, as the theory goes, this 'on value' is "completely enormous. But what physicists observe back in 2012 does not match with neither of those two scenarios.
As Cliff says "In reality, the Higgs field is just slightly on. It’s not zero, but it’s ten thousand trillion times weaker than its fully on value - a bit like a light switch that got stuck just before the 'off' position. And this value is crucial. If it were a tiny bit different, then there would be no physical structure in the Universe."
There is still no explanation about why the strength of the Higgs field is so extremely weak, Physicists hope to find some positive results from newly-upgraded particle accelerator at CERN. As for now, they’re still hunting.
