If space has a positive curvature, is the expansion of the universe caused by time, not "dark energy"? [closed]

Ok, I will assume that space has a positive curvature, where space is the "surface" of this sphere, and time is the radius from the center, so the universe is a 4D hypersphere. Under these ...

Does dark energy work on the principle of anti-gravity, i.e. repulsive gravity?

Our universe is made up of 95% dark energy+ dark matter (of which most is dark energy), and this dark energy is considered to be the main reason for the expansion of our universe. But, anything that ...

Question on linear perturbations in cosmology

I've been studying clustering dark energy when I came across a paper named "A Short Review on clustering dark energy" by Ronaldo Batista. there are 2 equations in this paper (eq.8 and eq.9) ...

Does dark energy get used up in the expansion of the universe?

Now, I am a beginner in Cosmology, so I am not sure if this makes sense. Since the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate, and thus distant objects are also accelerating away. In that sense, ...

Does dark energy increase tidal forces in cosmic voids...?

I would like to ask you some questions I have about some interesting work I was reading (https://arxiv.org/abs/1205.4238 & https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/527/4/11962/7457744) where the ...

Measurement of the Cosmological Constant

Is there some way to measure Lambda, the cosmological constant, independent of $H_o$, the Hubble constant and omega_lambda, the Dark Energy density? A standard equation for calculating Lambda, ...

If the observable universe had only one galaxy, how would people know the expansion of the universe?

Hubble measured high redshifted galaxies to discover the cosmic expansion. In a hypothetical universe where only one galaxy exists, would there still be observational evidence for the Big Bang theory? ...

Does the accelerated expansion of the universe have any effects in the orbital precession of galaxies? And in their eccentricity?

I found several papers (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ace90b; https://link.springer.com/article/10.1134/S1063772920100054; https://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0301057; https://arxiv.org/...

Ejected bodies, dynamical friction and dark energy?

I have a question after reading a couple of papers (https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.06220 and https://www.arxiv-vanity.com/papers/1102.0007/). Here, the authors seem to indicate that when bodies like stars ...

Can a receding body due to the accelerated spacetime expansion be "rescued"?

Once a body "crosses" the limit where dark energy wins over gravitational forces (Is there a distance from a gravitational source where the influence of gravity and dark energy are balanced ...

Is Dark Energy Taking Over?

First question, trying to keep it simple 😃 Because it's constant it grows in magnitude as the universe expands, whereas normal matter does not? Is this accurate as far as we know?

Dark energy, bound systems and orbits...?

As far as I understand it, dark energy can affect bound systems at cosmological scales (How does dark energy affect the dynamics of galaxy clusters?) effectively modifying their orbits. This ...

Is there a distance from a gravitational source where the influence of gravity and dark energy are balanced out?

While gravity is a force that attracts objects with mass, dark energy (or, alternatively, the accelerated expansion of the universe) is not. However, I have found numerous articles, forums, questions ...
