Coupling black and dark
I wrote earlier, in 2021, in the blog " cosmic coupling " that there may be a global connection between gravitational pull and push in the universe, possibly having equal but counter acting energy. Black holes represents the strongest gravitational pullers while dark energy is a pusher in the large scale. The research team led by University of Hawai'i theorized that as the ancient black holes were much larger than they should it means there must be another way these black holes are acquiring mass - gained from the dark energy. Later in 2023, their results showed that black holes gain mass in a way consistent with them containing vacuum energy, providing a source of dark energy and removing the need for singularities to form at their center. The measured amount of dark energy in the universe can be accounted for by black hole vacuum energy. The idea that black holes are a source of dark energy isn't new. In fact, it's part of Einstein's theory of...
