Since dark energy is the densest factor in cosmic space, it has the greatest influence on the universe and will determine its fate. But it wasn't always this dark energy that determined things. The other components of the universe, such as radiation (light) and matter (including atoms and normal matter, but also dark matter, were the dominant factors when the universe was young and small, because they were much denser. However, as the universe expanded, radiation and matter became more sparse and the influence of energy Darkness has overcome their influence. If the density of dark energy continues to increase, it may reach such a power that it will tear apart all existing structures in the universe. Image: Ann Feild (STScI).
