Is Dark Energy a Relatively Recent Force?

[connor]

I've read that dark energy is the energy driving the accelerated expansion of the universe.
Its density doesn't decrease as space increases. So, does this mean that it has existed with equal density from the beginning of the universe? Have scientists found that the accelerationed expansion of the universe was first decresing, and has started to increase more "recently"?

Interesting topic, though I admit to knowing nothing about Astronomy. I did get interested at one point, but then came to terms with the massive conjecture content.

To add to that, I don't wish to subtract anything from your wonderful posts. You obviously have lots of knowledge of the subject and I hope to learn much more. The trouble is, some of it is so complex I just simply cannot comprehend it. Imagining the length of 10 billion lightyears, sizes of solar systems, speed of light and beeing able to see 5 million years pinto the past- it's all too difficult for me to physically fathom. Anyway, just so you know that my initial response was most certainly not a personal feeling towards your post
