Dark energy is one of the least studied types of energy in the universe. Its existence is still being questioned along with the existence of dark matter. Researchers from the University of Hawaii have suggested that some black holes could be made from mysterious dark energy that can distort space and time. Is it so? Let's try to figure it out together.
What is a black hole made of?
There are millions and billions of black holes in the Universe, each of which has such a huge mass that everything that falls into its gravitational field, upon reaching the event horizon, can no longer escape from the clutches of a giant cosmic monster. So what is a black hole made of?
Scientists believe that despite the colossal force of gravity, a black hole is made of nothing! Well, or almost nothing. Black holes are made up of curved time, space, and possibly dark energy.
In the scientific community, it is widely believed that black holes are formed as a result of the explosion of stars large by universal standards. Scientists at the University of Hawaii at Manoa have shown that this judgment may not work for all black hole models. So, scientists have put forward the assumption that black holes can somehow interact with energy, depending on their composition.
One of the results of this study is that the growth rate of the Universe provides information about the processes taking place in the bowels of giant stars at the end of their life. It is believed that immediately after the final explosion, large stars turn into a kind of space zombies, which are black holes. According to the theory put forward in 1966 by Erast Gliner of the Physico-Technical Institute named after Joffe in Leningrad, very large stars can collapse under their own gravitational forces, forming clusters of dark energy called geodes.
Geodes look very similar to black holes, but instead of a singularity, black holes contain the very dark energy that scientists around the world are so persistently looking for.

Why is the universe expanding?
Back in 1998, astronomers were able to discover that the expansion of the universe is gradually accelerating. Trying to explain this fact, scientists put forward a theory that dark energy, incomprehensible to the human eye, spreads evenly throughout the Universe, which causes its expansion. Despite this, scientists have not recognized the fact that geodes can also contribute to the expansion of the universe.
If unusual black holes are really capable of accumulating dark energy in their centers, then such space objects can become a real find for the study of dark matter and dark energy. Perhaps it is geodes that can one day become sources of inexhaustible energy for a person of the future.
Unless, of course, he accidentally destroys himself.
