    Quantum gas below absolute zero: dark energy?


    Another peculiarity of the sub-absolute-zero gas is that it mimics 'dark energy', the mysterious force that pushes the Universe to expand at an ever-faster rate against the inward pull of gravity.

        Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the comments are the best part.

            I won't be correcting you on that one... I don't think you are wrong... (but I might be, correct me if I am)

              I don't know anything about commenting, but I think you are right.

                  Am I right in saying you are all wrong?

                  Please correct me if I am right

                    That's just plain wrong, right?

                      Only when the quantum gas particles generate a negative temperature which alters the fabric of the space time contimuum due to its caustic anti-matter interaction with real space-time, which causes right to be wrong, up to be down, black to be white, and zebra crossings to become very dangerous.
