Maybe dark energy is simply the accumulated memories of the times when stars passed through, echoes of gravity through time. Dark energy would be the lingering effect of stars gravitational influences. Stars would be dimensionally shut out from this past, but could bounce perfectly off of it like a wall. This would mean that dark energy is locked in the past, unattainable. This bouncng would explain the anti-gravity effect. Also, because more dark matter would be created as time wore on, it's effects would incease in power...that would explain the increasing acceleration of the universe...

Goring: I know that my surmise is pure speculation. However, I know that the acceleration of the universe is a fact. They have known since 1998.

If dark matter/energy was indeed in a sealed off dimension it could be repulsive and still have a gravitational effect. Energy would be attracted to it, but could not enter. That's what "dimensionally shut out" means. Such energy would bounce off of the wall of attraction, an be repulsed...

In an effort to explain the apparent lack of gravitational force that should be evident because of what they believe to a great mass of dark matter, scientists proposed that there must be a great amount of dark energy that is causing the continuing expansion of the universe, they readily admit that if such energy exists they have no idea as to where it came from.

Dark Energy is opposite of Gravity. While gravity is attractive Dark Energy is repulsive. They cannot be the same.
As to Dark Matter we have no idea what it is. Some speculate that it could be burned out stars that we no longer see, which is what you are suggesting. Some think it might be neutrino's. Still others think it could be a new type of stuff that we have never seem.

Dark Matter was an entity that was postulate by Democritus ,in ancient Greece ,as an indivisible substance. Later it was called the Aether. In classical physics it was called Space. Now its called dark matter and is believed to be permeating the Universe with a constant energy .
The Universe is a stable entity in equilibrium. It is not going or accelerating any where.
