From what is currently hypothesized about dark energy, there are two forms. The first form, the cosmological constant, uniformly permeates all of space. There’d be no point looking specifically to the stars for this first form of dark energy. Real scientists know the second form of dark energy as quintessence. That’s because it, allegedly, represents the fifth “known” contribution to the total mass-energy content of the universe, along with baryonic matter, radiation, cold dark matter, and gravitational self-energy. Unlike the cosmological constant, real quintessence doesn’t uniformly permeate
