Dark energy vs. conservation of energy #7
Description
This question came in recently and has not been answered yet.
Dark energy was postulated to explain the accelerating expansion of the universe. Whatever its nature and source, presumably we either expect there to be an enormous but finite potential reservoir (which we would expect to eventually run out) or we are abandoning the law of conservation of energy. No? Or have I simply run off the edge of my high school physics?
As a followup: has anyone calculated the necessary size of such a potential reservoir?
