A Pauli Mechanism for Dark Energy

POSTER

Abstract

When leptons with ultralow energy are created with wavelengths on the order of or larger than the Hubble length, these are effectively frozen into place and cannot move (as the crest cannot approach a distant trough). As these are stretched along with universal expansion, they asymptotically become ever closer in energy. Being antisymmetric wave functions, they are subject to the Pauli exclusion principle and so will increasingly be subject to a differentiation in quantum numbers giving rise to an apparent force separating them spatially. These leptons are only coupled to the Hubble length which then reacts accordingly.
