Hi,
Explaining dark energy as an emergent phenomenon of interaction between gravity and EM fields:
things to consider:
- the gravitational potential of the universe
- the overall EM field of the universe (electrostatic/electromagnetic charge)
- the interaction between 1 and 2.
If EM waves are orthagonal to free space, and free space is curved due to gravity, then the EM waves are not orthagonal to each other over the curvature. If there is a net electrostatic or electromagnetic charge over that distance, there will be an attractive or repulsive force between the EM waves, which act on the free space itself.
I had previously tried to explain dark energy as solely an emergent property of gravity (ie a curvature will inherently try to expand to a flat surface) however that fell flat no pun intended.
cheers, Jamie
