If the amount of dark energy in the universe is increasing.....?
...as the universe's acceleration advances, will there be a proportional increase in the steady character of dark matter? This is assuming that dark matter has been misinterpreted, and it is actually due to the misunderstood force of gravity. Dark matter=gravity and mass.
If this is so, will stars and galaxies increase the density of their mass, in order to compensate for the effects of expanding inflation space? Will mass in general continue to become more robust, as more dark energy pummels it? Is there a link between dark matter and dark energy? Will dark matter change in response to increasing levels of dark energy emission? Will matter become more focus aligned?
Or, will runaway inflation from the influence of dark energy overwhelm the universe and push all the galaxies apart ruthlessly, at incredible speeds?
Concepts of dark energy taken from the TV show "The Universe", "Extreme Energy".
Idea for the link between dark matter and energy taken from the predictions of alignment theory:"the cosmological constant is not an exact constant value, but an exact constant ratio: Inflation space divided by Mass equals One at all times".

You don't need to increase the amount of energy given to an object for it to accelerate. You just need to give it energy, period. If you make the analogy of dark energy to your foot on a car's gas pedal and gravity as the steepness of a ramped road (forget the attrition to the road and air) then after you've applied enough power to the engine to ballance the down pull in the ramp even a minute pedalling will increase your speed (i.e. you have a positive acceleration).
I understand how cosmology fascinates people and the pretty colors on the TV really gives an enthusiasm, but I'm beginning to think that the TV shows about science also lack the basic stuff such as kinematics.

You need to generate mass for that. You can't generate mass at the current energy scale.
<QUOTE>in order to compensate for the effects of expanding inflation space?</QUOTE>
Who says there has to be a compensating effect?
<QUOTE>Will mass in general continue to become more robust,</QUOTE>
What is "mass robustness"? How do you measure it?
<QUOTE>Is there a link between dark matter and dark energy?</QUOTE>
Dark matter = "There's something that makes the matter in galaxies get pulled harder than what we expect from telescope photographs (and other devices) alone, but it's not from the bright lights we see. Because we think that only matter produces significant amounts of gravity at the galactic scale, it must be matter. Because the stuff we see doesn't acount for it, it must be dark. Le'ts call it dark matter because we don't know what else to call it."
Dark energy = "We thought that matter would inevitably pull all matter chunks it towards each other because of gravity. But we see that galaxies far away are actually moving away too fast to be caught up by gravity. There must be something pulling them away from each other and it's stronger than the gravity pull. We don't detect it, so let's call it Dark. It is causing a positive acceleration (speed increases) so the resulting force is in the direction of the motion. But we can't call it Dark Force because George Lucas would sue us. Let's call it something else, for example Dark Energy."
Dark Matter + Dark Energy = "We don't know what it is, we don't see it, so let's call them Dark. The Dark Matter is because we can only think of matter as the only thing that generates gravity. The Dark Energy is because there is something causing mechanical work as if there is a resultant force which is stronger than gravity."
Basically, those are fields that are introduced "ad hoc" to explain the observations. Then it's the theoretician's work to look for possible explanations where something similar could exist AND give the correct values measured for rate of expansion, mass, etc.

What do you mean with that?

We don't know.
As simple as that.

When you take the scary stuff away from science, i.e. Mathematics, then it all sounds incredible. The wording they use is really spectacular! We could have called Dark Matter "Bzedroigl" and Dark Energy "Zviegreglz" to make it sound really alien ... and it would still be the same.
Until you put the scary mathematics in, it sounds fantastic. When you put the mathematics (that no one likes to see) in ... then you find out it's not so fantastic, it just looks like undergraduate math with other symbols.

Cute wordplay. Now show me the math.
