Backtracking 3 Domination

Next we can talk about the ‘what’s dominate?’ eras. Right now we are in the ‘dark energy’ dominate era. But what does this really mean? Dominate means that that is what there is the most of. In the ‘dark energy’ dominate era, now, there is more dark energy than anything else. So… it is the driving force of the universe. That is why we are expanding at an accelerated rate. The dominance of an energy term make us accelerate. Before that was a matter dominance. I’m not sure, and I don’t think cosmologists know either, but somehow and at some point the dark energy overpowered the matter, including dark matter. Before this point matter was dominate and the expansion of the universe was decelerating. Before that, 70,000 years after the big bang, the dominance switched to matter from radiation. So… light was the dominating force in the universe. And that is what we will talk about tomorrow.
