Explanation of the huge difference between vacuum energy and dark energy in the theory of the dynamic medium of reference
The object of this article is to present the vacuum energy and the dark energy within the framework of the theory of the dynamic medium of reference and to explain the phenomenal difference between the two energies. The dynamic medium is made up of entities (called gravitons) whose vectorial average of speed determines the speed of the flux of the medium at each point in space. It is shown that inside the horizon of black holes (defined by the Schwarzschild radius), the speed of flux is greater than the speed of light, which means that the gravitons themselves have a higher speed to that of light. The quantum entanglement of two photons which propagate in two opposite directions is due to a connection made by gravitons. It is therefore proposed that the gravitons move at the speed <mml:math display="inline"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>V</mml:mi> <mml:mi>G</mml:mi> </mml:msub> <mml:mo>≈</mml:mo> <mml:mfrac> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>R</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mtext>universe</mml:mtext> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>t</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mtext>Planck</mml:mtext> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> </mml:mrow> </mml:mfrac> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> ≈ 2.4 × 1069 m/s, which makes it possible to guarantee the entanglement of the two photons whatever their position in the Universe and the impossibility to measure the time taken by the influence of a photon to arrive at its twin photon because it is less than the Planck time t Planck. The expression of the vacuum energy and that of the dark energy within the framework of the theory of the dynamic medium of reference is established. The two expressions E vacuum and E dark and the value of the speed of the most distant galaxies V galaxy make it possible to calculate an approximate value of the speed of the gravitons <mml:math display="inline"> <mml:msub> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>V</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>G</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> <mml:mo>≈</mml:mo> <mml:msub> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>V</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mtext mathvariant="normal">galaxy</mml:mtext> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> <mml:msqrt> <mml:mfrac> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>E</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mtext mathvariant="normal">vacuum</mml:mtext> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>E</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mtext mathvariant="normal">dark</mml:mtext> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> </mml:mrow> </mml:mfrac> </mml:msqrt> </mml:math> ≈ 2.8 × 1069 m/s. This value of the speed of the graviton is very close to that obtained by the quantum entanglement of two photons, which reinforces the existence of nonmaterial entities going at these phenomenal speeds.
