What is Dark Energy? Inside our accelerating, expanding Universe
Some 13.8 billion years ago, the universe began with a rapid expansion we call the big bang. After this initial expansion, which lasted a fraction of a second, gravity started to slow the universe down. But the cosmos wouldn''t stay this way. Nine billion years after the universe began, its expansion started to speed up, []
Energy
Statistics Iceland does not collect data on energy but has published energy figures since 1960. The National Energy Authority (NEA) collects monthly data on energy consumption, capacity, generation and sales of energy and electricity and oil use. Statistics Iceland then uses this information to compile physical energy flow accounts (PEFA
