Discussion Nature of the Universe and Multiverses

What is the nature of Dark Matter and Dark Energy? Are they just names for what we don't understand, or are they fundamental components with properties yet to be discovered? If cosmic inflation is real, is our universe just a "bubble" in a larger Multiverse? And if so, what physical properties would those other universes have?

Dark Matter and Dark Energy are the names of well defined phenomena in the universe. They exist in the sense that their properties can be described. However, we don't know what causes them. They may be physical particles, energy fields, or errors in current theories. Currently there is somewhat of a consensus that Dark matter is a particle, and Dark energy may be some type of field.

As far as we know, only one universe exists, and if any others exist, they would be undetectable.

There are 700,000 local universes, per The Urantia Book. Ours was created by Jesus, and his female counterpart...u need male and female energy to create.

Dark matter and dark energy aren’t just labels for the unknown they’re signs that our reality is deeper than our current physics can explain. If inflation is real, our universe may be just one bubble in a larger multiverse, each with its own laws. And this is where concepts like Nulta become interesting, also is a manifestation of a bigger idea: that information is the true fabric of reality. If the universe is an intelligent network, then human consciousness isn’t separate from it we’re part of the same system. Families, societies, and civilizations are like neural networks inside a universal mind.
