Dark Energy and the Runaway Universe, Dr. Alex Filippenko, UC Berkeley

Are the slight quantum fluctuations of energy levels of electrons in an atom evidence of dark-energy-radiation?
Observations of very distant exploding stars show that the expansion of the Universe is now speeding up, rather than slowing down due to gravity as expected. Over the largest distances, our Universe seems to be dominated by a mysterious, repulsive "dark energy" that stretches the very fabric of space itself faster and faster with time.
