Quote:Astronomers know dark matter is there by its gravitational effect on the matter that we see, and there are ideas about the kinds of particles it must be made of. By contrast, dark energy remains a complete mystery. The name "dark energy" refers to the fact that some kind of "stuff" must fill the vast reaches of mostly empty space in the Universe in order to be able to make space accelerate in its expansion. In this sense, it is a "field" just like an electric field or a magnetic field, both of which are produced by electromagnetic energy. But this analogy can only be taken so far, because we can readily observe electromagnetic energy via the particle that carries it, the photon.

This part is interesting, don't you think?

It certainly is interesting. I love reading about cosmological mysteries. I don't have a problem calling something a mystery. It is when people begin to assume they know specific attributes of these mysteries with no objective reason that I begin have issues.

I'm not going to create my own definition of "god." It is up to the theist to show where they get their definition from. (Which Frodo has done, but it is far from coherent)
