They're both theoretical constructs and neither has actually been detected, measured, nor "seen".

What is the opposite of Dark Energy?

There is no opposite of dark energy in the sense that there exists something that is the exact opposite of dark energy. Dark energy speeds the rate of expansion of space, even empty space, and gravity, mass, or matter causes the opposite in that it causes a decrease in the rate of expansion of space in areas that have matter.


How is the energy distributed in the universe?

The energy in the universe is primarily distributed across three main components: dark energy, dark matter, and ordinary matter. Dark energy, which comprises about 68% of the universe's total energy content, is thought to drive the accelerated expansion of the universe. Dark matter accounts for about 27% and plays a crucial role in the structure formation of galaxies and galaxy clusters. Ordinary matter, including stars, planets, and interstellar gas, makes up only about 5% of the total energy density, highlighting the dominance of dark components in cosmic energy distribution.


How are dark matter and dark energy similar?

No, at present dark matter can't be used as energy. However, when Marco Polo went to China he observed the them burning black rocks (coal) for heat. This was an unknown and unexpected source of energy in Europe at the time. Undiscovered sources of energy are by definition presently unknown.


What the unverse is made of?

The universe is primarily made up of dark matter, dark energy, and normal matter. Normal matter includes atoms and particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons that make up stars, planets, and the things we see around us. Dark matter and dark energy are mysterious components that scientists are still trying to understand.

What is the state of most of the matter is the universe?

The most common type of energy/mass in the Universe is in the form of dark energy, followed by dark matter. Only about 4% of the Universe is in the form of "normal" (baryonic) matter. If it is specifically to this matter you refer: the most common state of matter is plasma, found in stars.

Which is thought to be more prevalent in the universe dark matter or dark energy?

Dark energy. The current estimates for the distribution of mass/energy in the Universe are approximately: 68% dark energy 27% dark matter 5% baryonic (i.e. "normal") matter


Can Astronomer's directly detect dark energy and dark matter?

Dark matter and dark energy have NOT been detected yet, so any ideas about detecting dark energy and dark matter, whether it be directly or indirectly, is speculation for now.


Why dark energy and matter does not obey standard physics and chemistry?

Standard physics and chemistry are based on the energy and matter that we know. We do not know much about dark energy or dark matter, but only that it may exist.


Compare the amount of visible matter in the universe with the total amount of matter and energy?

4% Visible Matter (Atoms) 23% Dark Matter 73% Dark Energy

Can dark matter be used as fuel for energy production?

Dark matter cannot be used as fuel for energy production because it does not interact with regular matter in a way that can be harnessed for energy generation.


What percentage of the universe is matter?

It is believed that about 4% of the mass in the Universe is normal matter. About 23% is dark matter (matter of unknown composition), the remainder being something even more mysterious called dark energy. I suggest searching the Wikipedia for "dark matter" and "dark energy", for more details about both.


What is the most common form of matter?

Dark energy is believed to make up about 73% of the mass of the Universe; dar matter about 23%; and normal matter - the kind we know most about - about 4%. In the case of normal matter, most of it is still in the form of hydrogen.


What is a negative space?

Do scientist think that dark matter and dark energy exist?
