Dark Energy
1. Nature: Dark energy is not matter; it's a form of energy that permeates
space itself. It's not composed of particles and doesn't have mass.
2. Effect on Expansion: Dark energy's primary effect is on the overall
expansion of the universe. Unlike gravity, which pulls things together, dark
energy works in opposition, causing the universe to expand at an
accelerating rate.
