Is There a Link Between the Brain and Dark Energy?

The brain and "dark energy"?

Hello, hopefully I have this question in the right category...

I was just reading an article about the brain and "dark energy". It was talking about how there's apparently a connection to the human brain and this so-called "dark energy" that makes up about 70% of the universe - the article looked like it was from a reliable science magazine source, by the way.

Is dark energy even taken seriously by modern-day physicists? And if so, has there been any theories connecting it to human cerebral activity?

Thanks

This sounds very dubious, especially when "dark energy" is still being studied on and corresponds to the unexplained accelerating expansion of the universe. How that connects to "the brain" is puzzling and smells like a bastardization of a physics observation.

When you read an article and wish to have us comment on it, it is imperative that you make a full and complete citation to that article so that someone can double check it to verify that (i) it isn't crackpottery (ii) you actually read it correctly and (iii) the article is accurate. If not, there's no way to verify. It is one of the standards that we try to practice here on PF, that you must pay attention to the source and can cite it accurately for others to check.

If not, we are left with nothing more than your interpretation of what you thought you read. As it is now, it appears to be a rather dubious article based simply on what you've described, and our Guidelines do not allow such discussion.

Besides, why is this in Quantum Physics forum?

Zz.

for your question. I can say that dark energy is a very intriguing and mysterious concept in the field of physics. It is currently a topic of ongoing research and there are various theories and hypotheses surrounding it. While it is true that dark energy makes up about 70% of the universe, its exact nature and properties are still not fully understood.

In regards to the connection between dark energy and the human brain, there is currently no scientific evidence to support such a claim. The brain is a complex organ that operates on electrical and chemical signals, and its functions are well understood through neuroscience and biology. Dark energy, on the other hand, is a phenomenon that is primarily studied through astrophysics and cosmology.

While it is always interesting to explore potential connections between different areas of science, it is important to approach these claims with a critical and scientific mindset. It is always best to rely on evidence-based research and theories in order to fully understand and explain the workings of the brain and the universe.
