Someone said that they are by mass-energy equivalence. Also, is it possible to say that dark matter is a indeed a form of matter, and dark energy is a form of energy?
sciencestar said:In short, dark energy is repulsive (avoids matter and floats in contact with gravity) and dark matter only is affected by gravitational influence and exerts it

Dark energy and dark matter are theoretical concepts in astrophysics that are believed to make up the majority of the universe. Dark energy is thought to be a force that is causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate, while dark matter is believed to be a type of matter that does not interact with light and thus cannot be seen or detected using traditional methods.
No, dark energy and dark matter are two distinct concepts. While they both play significant roles in shaping the universe, they have different properties and behaviors. Dark energy is a force, while dark matter is a type of matter.
Dark energy and dark matter are related in the sense that they both contribute to the overall mass and energy of the universe. However, they do not interact with each other and have different effects on the universe's expansion and structure.
Currently, dark energy and dark matter cannot be directly observed or measured using traditional methods. However, scientists are constantly working on new techniques and experiments to better understand and potentially detect these phenomena.
Dark energy and dark matter are crucial components in understanding the universe's structure, evolution, and fate. They help explain the observed behaviors of galaxies, the expansion of the universe, and the distribution of matter. Studying dark energy and dark matter can also provide insights into fundamental physics theories and potentially lead to new discoveries and advancements in our understanding of the universe.
