Interesting question.
In fact, the universe is the ONLY thing that's expending. Electrons aren't moving away from their respective nucleons. planets aren't moving away from their respective suns. Stars within a galaxy aren't moving away from each other. Only galaxies are moving away from one another, e r go, the raisin bread dough model.
so, yes, it's possible for dark energy to be the only thing that has no counter, not as a rule, but just the way things are.
In time we may move so far from other galaxies that we think we're the only one. Or we may move into the viciiity of another universe and not realize it's another. How will astrologers explain the weird constellations?
Not sure I said "no counter". Dark matter and dark energy are the two most common elements of our universe, 90% according to the articles I've seen. So if something exactly neutralized dark energy in an amount equal to whatever force it is producing, then there would still be 80% of the universe to keep the expansion going.
