Breakthrough In Dark Energy? Here's What The Researchers Have To Say
A recent research paper suggests that supermassive black holes can be the source of dark energy. It's a big potential breakthrough in Astronomy. So, here's what the co-author of the study, Dr Chris Pearson from STFC RAL Space, has to say about it.

I like his answers and that of University of Hawaii. Instead of mass continuing to accumulate into a singularity, which Einstein and Hawking did not like, it makes sense to me that with enough pressure, Mass converts into Energy. The inverse of the Big Bang. His explanation on how this energy makes the Universe expand, I still have to work on. But it did seem to make the Universe 'Inflate' in the beginning and most accept the idea of Inflation. This is a far better answer than "What is Dark Energy?" " Nobody Knows!"
The first attempt to explain the origin of dark energy/matter that I can chew on, therefore it's probably wrong. The concept is really appealing. I wish him and his group success.
Yeah, several astronomers have explained why they think the research is flawed.
Thanks for making the video Fraser. Choosing my words carefully, not convincing, rather embarrassing sadly.
I don't understand.
Great interview, thanks Fraser.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Fascinating. Thanks Fraser!
Thanks a lot!
