1-minute animation showing the 13.5 billion year history of the universe in relation to dark energy

A quick 1-minute animation about Dark Energy ➡️ an invisible and rather unknown force that is forcing the universe to expand at an accelerated rate — even faster than the speed of light! A galactic ‘tug of war’ has been occurring between dark energy and dark matter — the force opposing dark energy that accounts for gravity — ever since the universe was born. Surprisingly, 95% of matter in the universe is composed of the dark forces (68% Dark Energy, 27% Dark Matter) meaning that the universe is dominated and governed by the physical laws of these two immense forces. ⚛️🪐💫✨
