Until the 1990s, there were few reliable observations about movement at the scale of the entire universe, which is the only scale dark energy effects. So dark energy could not be seen until we could measure things very, very far away.
直到1990年代,关于整个宇宙尺度的运动的可靠观测很少,这是唯一规模的暗能量效应。 因此,只有在我们可以非常非常远地测量事物之前,才能看到暗能量。
One of the most exciting things about dark energy is that it seems to live at the very nexus of two of our most successful theories of physics: quantum mechanics, which explains the physics of the small, and Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, which explains the physics of the large, including gravity.
暗能量最令人兴奋的事情之一是它似乎生活在我们两个最成功的物理学理论的联系中:量子力学解释了小物理学,而爱因斯坦广义相对论则解释了相对论。
