Dark Energy in the Universe

"Worse, dark energy might be evolving. Some models predict that if dark energy becomes ever more dominant over time, it will rip apart gravitationally bound objects, such as galaxy clusters and galaxies. Ultimately, planet Earth will be stripped from the sun and shredded, along with all objects on it. Even atoms will be destroyed. Dark energy, once cast in the shadows of matter, will have exacted its final revenge."

Thus ends Chris Conselice his article in next month's Scientific American.

This is the main component of the Universe, more than three fourths of all energy that exists is Dark Energy.

Only recently has it been studied, only today did I find out, that the end of our region of the Universe, may be the complete destruction of everything we know by Dark Energy.
