I don’t know where else to go with this idea. I’m not a physicist and it could be obviously wrong for some reason I’m missing, but it seems to me that there is a small chance that I’ve figured out how to remove one of the fundamental forces from our models of the universe; gravity, to be specific.

So we’ve all heard of dark energy, the force driving the accelerating expansion of the universe. Presumably it comes from somewhere, perhaps from every piece of matter in the universe, perhaps only stars, perhaps only black holes, but as long as it’s not all coming from a single source, it’s probably coming from something that is relatively common, and primarily found within galaxies. And if I magically came to KNOW that it does all come from one source, I would do very little beyond deleting a few arrows in my diagrams to change this post.

And as the Hubble deep field scans showed, there are A LOT of galaxies in any direction you look in (at least from Earth). So, countless galaxies in all directions are emitting dark matter, with tiny rays from each one hitting our galaxy, as well as galaxies in every other direction.

Of course our galaxy doesn’t have a plastic shell around it for dark energy to hit. It’s specific things in the galaxy that get hit by specific emissions of dark energy, just like it’s specific objects that emit those emissions.

Here are some galaxies. Beyond the ones shown, there are more and more in all directions for as far as anyone knows so far. Please note that nothing in any of these diagrams is drawn to scale.

Any one of them emits dark energy pretty uniformly in all directions, as it does with light.

Given the sheer number of other galaxies off in all directions, the total dark energy hitting a galaxy would look something like this. The magnitude of the dark energy forces coming in from the rest of the universe ought to be a lot more than what our one little galaxy puts out.

Now let’s look inside this galaxy, at a single solar system. Dark energ
