What is dark energy?

Dark energy is a mysterious form of energy that is thought to permeate all of space and is responsible for the observed accelerated expansion of the universe. It is distinct from both dark matter and ordinary matter and constitutes about 68% of the total energy density of the universe. Despite its prevalence, the nature of dark energy remains one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in cosmology. Various theoretical models have been proposed to explain dark energy, including the cosmological constant associated with Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, but its true nature remains elusive.
