- TL;DR Summary
- Is dark energy a manifestation of relativity?
Consider a particle traveling near the speed of light towards a planet- relativity states that the space according to the particle shrinks between the particle and the planet as the particle accelerates toward the planet.
My question is - would the space behind the particle expand relative to an observer watching it accelerate away?
If this is true this would create the impression of expanding space between objects moving away from each other (dark energy).
Dark energy = solved!
