We in fact have no clue what it's caused by

Some say dark energy

What what even is that

most say dark energy

we dk

Point is this is a field of science where we really have no clue so nothing is clearly true

Yea

all we know is it's a mysterious force pulling the universe apart

but then there's also dark matter

supposedly

dark matter is the opposite

Holding galaxies together

Right

yup

apparently dark energy makes up around 70% of the universe, while dark matter makes up around 27%

Yeah that's what I've heard too

Aka we don't know what 97% of the universe is lol

yeah

its kinda scary ngl

but vv interesting

imo

Yea i don't see it as scary so much as exciting

Os it means there's a lot more to discover

like the fact that only around 5% of the ocean has been explored

Yup

Or the fact there could quite possible have been life on Mars and likely is life elsewhere in the solar system

yeah

do you believe in extraterrestrial life?

I defo do

Because the universe is so massive there's bound to be some out there somewhere

same

yup probability

And the thing is you can counter that with the Fermi paradox

But there's quite a nice way to get round that

Cos you can think like monkeys on earth have no clue that humans communicate using radio waves right

yeah

oh right

And if there is intelligent alien life out there the reason we haven't seen signs of it could be because we're like the monkeys and we're the humans

And they're just using some advamced form of communication we simply haven't discovered and can't detect

yup... extraterrestrial life def exists, whether it be more intelligent than us or just bacterial forms
