You are assuming a ton of rumors you have heard are fact. A few hours of reading factual literature on the subject, and you would see that none of these speculative claims have any scientific proof.

I guess I assumed that dark energy must be the energy that would be associated with dark matter. What is the technique used to map out the distribution of dark matter? I would like to read about that. Another reason I was making the connection was the fact that space is everywhere and the theoretical Higgs field would presumably be everywhere as well.

This is my first post on this site. If I am way off base please let me know. Has anyone ever considered that perhaps space itself IS dark matter? Is this not essentialy what the possible discovery of the Higgs boson is? I have been thinking about this a lot lately and it seems logical. As theoretical physics and astronomy are hobbies for me and I lack the mathematical skills to understand alot about them, I could be way off base. Just wanted to see what others thought about this. Thanks
