Periodic Reporting for period 1 - PhilDarkEnergy (Philosophy of Dark Energy)
Período documentado: 2022-09-01 hasta 2024-08-31
The PhilDarkEnergy has focused on a systematic conceptual analysis of the dark energy model landscape. This analysis tentatively corroborates the main working hypothesis of the project, that the spacetime, matter and constant of nature trichotomy breaks down, in that dark energy does not neatly fall into one of these categories. These intermediate results will feed into the sequel ERC project (“COSMO-MASTER”), which will additionally include black holes, inflation and spin-2 gravity as case studies, and will focus on a larger range of questions in order to develop a unified framework for navigating the single space of theories in the absence of a rigid, black-and-white spacetime-matter dichotomy.
