Why the Universe Needs Dark Energy

The video explores the concept of dark energy and its influence on the universe's expansion. It discusses Einstein's general theory of relativity and the Friedman equations, which describe the cosmic balance between expansion and gravitational forces. The geometry of the universe is examined, revealing discrepancies in the Friedman equation. The cosmological constant is introduced as a solution, explaining how dark energy, a constant energy density, influences the universe's fate. The video concludes with insights into the current dominance of dark energy and its implications for the future of space-time.
