Hello,
Let me first start off by saying that I have no formal Education or background in Physics or Astronomy save for one course during college. This is simply posing an idea I had while reading an article on the acceleration of the expanding universe and how it could have a correlation with "Dark Energy" or "Dark Matter", and again I am only posing this question to see if it is at least reasonable or absolutely ludicrous. While there is debate on what exactly dark matter/energy is, those that stand by the belief of its existence say that it constitutes a large portion of all the matter in the Universe (I believe the average number agreed upon is roughly 80-90% if not more). Although we cannot see it many scientist are claiming that a black hole has some correlation to this phenomenon. I am aware that a black hole does not "suck" but is merely a point of infinite gravitational density and mass, of which not even light can escape.I suppose my main question is if all the matter that enters a singularity is expelled in pure protons or other particles or if some is converted into a form of this dark energy or matter. If some of the matter is converted and it is "emitted" (if that would even be the term for it) then could this be what causes the acceleration? Because while the initial velocity of the Big Bang is unimaginably fast it would stand to reason that it would slow down. However if dark matter/energy is what arguably pushes space and time then as more black holes occur more dark energy would be "emitted" pushing against the dark matter already there then would that add to an increase in the speed of the expanding universe. I am not trying to say that a black hole is some kind of magical portal that automatically turns matter into dark energy, but again I am curious to see if this would be a reasonable guess as to why this occurs. Please give me your thoughts and if I am completely wrong do not worry about offending me I am here for more expert opinions so please tell me if this is ridiculous.
Thank You
