Is it possible to collect dark matter?

Despite the almost overwhelming evidence that dark matter does indeed exist, we still don’t know what it’s made of. Detectors scattered around the world have been operating for decades, trying to catch the faint trace of a passing dark matter particle, but to no avail.

Can dark energy be used as a power source?

In theory, it is possible to use the dark energy of the universe as a power source. In practice, the amount of energy that could be liberated in a local setting is many orders of magnitude too small to be useful or even detectable.

Will we ever run out of dark energy?

Definitely not in our lifetimes. If dark energy behaves in a way similar to dark matter, it might not even be worth the effort. Dark matter is everywhere, but it’s weakly interacting in that it doesn’t interact with hardly anything and when it does, it does so through the weak nuclear force.

Is it possible to harness Dark Energy?

If it can make a bead move, it’s really transmitting energy that can be harnessed: just make the bead sticky and put it on a stick and the resulting friction will harvest its energy as heat. In the case of dark energy, we have observed it primarily from the red shift of type Ia supernovae.

What are the properties of dark energy?

Dark energy has the property of repulsive gravity. If you got dark energy in its most compressed form, and then let it expand, it is relishing tremendous amounts of energy. Dark energy has the power to expand a black hole outwardly. Dark energy can’t exist freely in the universe, it could only exist in coexistence whit positive energy.

Could We harness Dark Energy to power our iPhones?

Probably not. Before scientists could even attempt to assess the possibility of harnessing dark energy as a source of electricity, we’d have to find it. If we were able to harness the power of dark energy, however, we’d be using it for a lot more than simply powering our iPhone.
