やはり気になったまま、この説のとてもいいところは「出現」そのものを考えなくていいことだ(爆) 2007年10月12日
宇宙そのものが巨大なブラックホール？暗黒エネルギーを説明する新説 | WIRED
"韓国高等科学院(Korea Institute for Advanced Study)の物理学者Jae-Weon Lee氏のチームは、この宇宙の地平線によって、粒子対が分割されるときの放出エネルギーが暗黒エネルギーであると説明している(粒子対が分割されるときの放出エネルギーの量を計算し、その計算結果が、宇宙の膨張の加速を説明するために必要なエネルギーの量に一致すると考えている）
これは、暗黒エネルギーと同様に、理解しにくい概念だ。暗黒エネルギーも、宇宙の膨張率に与える影響が観測されていることで、その存在が予想されているが、これまで暗黒エネルギー自体は確認されていない。
しかし、New Scientist誌によると、この記事によって他の物理学者たちの間で関心が高まっているため、ビッグバンで残った「宇宙背景放射」を調べる目的で、ヨーロッパの衛星『Planck』が打ち上げられる際に、テストが行なわれる可能性もあるという。"

ひも理論で宇宙航行
"Dr. Gerald Cleaver, associate professor of physics at Baylor, and Richard Obousy, a Baylor graduate student, theorize that by manipulating the extra spatial dimensions of string theory around a spaceship with an extremely large amount of energy, it would create a "bubble" that could cause the ship to travel faster than the speed of light.

Will the LHC’s Future Cancel Out Its Past? | Discoblog | Discover Magazine
"The authors reason that any accelerator which surpasses a certain threshold of super-high-energy collisions (thus producing many of these new particles) will never go into operation because it violates some yet-unknown universal law. As evidence, they provide the failed Superconducting Super Collider, which Congress canned in 1993 after spending $2 billion on the project. "

"Is Szapudi’s team now even more confident?
Well, it’s not so much the statistical confidence that’s a big deal ― they claim to detect the ISW effect at just above four sigma (or 99.9995% certainty), which is in the same league as other confidence values reported this year.

Hawaii scientists find direct evidence of 'Dark Energy' | KHNL NBC 8 Honolulu Hawaii
"July 30, 2008
MANOA (KHNL) - A team of astronomers at the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy has found direct evidence for the existence of "dark energy," an unknown form that works against gravity to pull galaxies together which causes the universe's expansion to speed up.
The team, led by Dr. Istan Szapudi, says this latest detection is the clearest to date. There is only one in 200,000 chance that the detection would occur by chance.
The team made the discovery by measuring the subtle imprints that superclusters and supervoids leave in microwaves that pass through them.""

Madau said gamma rays from such collisions might be detectable by the recently launched Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope.
"That's what makes this exciting," he said. "Some of those clumps are so dense they will emit a lot of gamma rays if there is dark matter annihilation and it might easily be detected by GLAST."
Study finds dark matter may be near Earth - UPI.com
"SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Aug. 8 (UPI) -- U.S. and Swiss researchers say computer simulations suggest dark matter exists within the Milky Way galaxy and near Earth's solar system.
University of California-Santa Cruz Professor Piero Madau said previous simulations showed the Milky Way clear of dark matter but the new study utilizing the Jaguar supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory provided enough detail to see clumps of dark matter."

According to one theory, however, dark matter consists of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), which can annihilate each other and emit gamma rays when they collide. Gamma rays from dark matter annihilation could be detected by the recently launched Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST), which UCSC physicists helped build.

The new simulation, described in the Aug. 7 issue of the journal Nature, implies that dark matter could be detected by the recently launched Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST).
"That's what makes this exciting," Madau said. "Some of those clumps are so dense they will emit a lot of gamma rays if there is dark matter annihilation, and it might easily be detected by GLAST."
