Notes

  1. 1.

    The expression “dark energy” is an abuse of language, since strictly speaking “energy” is a property, not a kind of matter or field. A more correct expression would be “dark field energy density”.

  2. 2.

    We assume that the universe originated at the Big Bang, although, of course, this needs not to be necessarily the case.
