First, dark energy and dark matter are unrelated to each other as far as we know. The word "dark" just means "we don't know what it is."
Dark energy is the cause for the increasing rate of expansion of the universe. Given the amount of matter and its gravitational pull, the universe should be just coasting along. Instead it is growing at a faster and faster rate. We assume that it is in the nature of empty space to expand. The expansion seems to be the same everywhere, especially in the nearly empty space between galaxies. This means it is not related to gravity or negative gravity.
That is about all I know. IANAP (I am not a physicist.)

dark rely is basically mass that may no longer doing something that motives it to glow. I certainly haven't any problem believing in such issues as chilly airborne dirt and dust. I see no clarification why the each and all of the mass contained in the universe should be contained in the form of issues that glow so we are able to be certain them on our telescopes. I honestly have a greater sturdy problem with dark potential, and that i'm incredibly hoping that somebody honestly effectively revises well-known relativity to handle it. i think of it could be incredibly thrilling to stay by way of one in all those substantial revolution in physics. do no longer forget that GR is an extremely helpful concept, so the subsequent concept might nevertheless make each and each of a similar predictions that GR does in places the place it is been helpful (as GR does with Newtonian mechanics). the recent concept, on each occasion it seems which will p.c. out limits on the area of applicability of GR.
