TL;DR Summary

The rise of dark energy and its impact on the expanding Universe has been a transformative discovery. As the Universe expanded, distant objects appeared to speed up, leading to the revelation of accelerated expansion. Dark energy, a novel form of energy inherent to space itself, remains at a constant density as the Universe expands, counteracting the attractive effects of matter. Over time, dark energy has come to dominate the Universe, causing distant galaxies to accelerate in their apparent recession from our perspective. This acceleration has led to the realization that 94% of galaxies are already forever beyond our reach, shaping our cosmic fate.
