Dark Energy

Here's a thought.

Dark energy is supposed to be the opposite of gravitation, a mysterious impulse that permeates the cosmos. It is accelerating the expansion of the universe, and it only came into being in this universe about nine billion years ago, according to the latest cosmological research.

Could we humans find this dark energy here on Earth? If so, could we tap its ability to neutralise the effects of gravity?

Hey, I'm only thinking ahead here. Flying cars, cheap spaceflight that doesn't burn regular energy. Stuff like that.

:) I'd love to know more about the physics of this dark energy and dark matter stuff. If dark energy is a property associated with dark matter, as I hypothesise, are they interchangeable the way ordinary energy and matter are?

If they are, what's the equation for that exchange?

And is dark energy, as I suspect, actually what humans refer to as "death"? Could death, the impulse towards entropy, be not so much the attenuation and ultimate dissolution of the coherent electrical energy patterns which comprise our "life force" as much as the submergence and overwhelming of those energy patterns with dark energy infusing the energy fields with chaos and causing their permanent disruption?

I had these little thoughts at 2am. I just love my little 5-hydroxy tryptophan / lecithin / Co-Q10 cocktails before bedtime. :)
