cosmology - Power Density of Dark Energy (W/m³)


In cosmology empty space has an energy density ρΛ of


ρΛ=ρcΩΛc2



with ΩΛ beeing the dark energy fraction (0.683 according to Planck 2013) and ρc beeing todays critical density defined by


ρc=3H20/8/π/G


where H0=2.1761018s1 is the Hubble constant, and G=6.6741011m3kg1s2 Newtons constant. This is in units of Joule/m3 or Pascal


ρΛ=5.21010kgm1s2


Now the universe is expanding, and since the volume increases, so does energy. The rate at which space expands is as mentioned above 2.1761018m/m/s which means that every meter grows by 2.1761018 meters every second.


So one cubic meter, 1m3, every second gives birth to


ΔV=V2V1=6.5281018m3


Where the volume V1 = r3 with r=1m, and V2=r(1+H0Δt) with Δt=1s


When we multiply the new born volume ΔV with the dark energy density ρΛ and divide it by Δt, we get in units of power, kgm2s3, the value of


3.3941027Watt



Is my interpretation that every cubic meter generates a power of 3.3941027Watt correct, or is there a flaw in my considerations?



Answer




is there a flaw in my considerations?



For one thing, the universe is not just empty space.


But, anyways... yeah, if you have a volume of constant energy density and you increase that volume while keeping the energy density constant then... yeah, you increase the energy. It's true.
