Direct Detection Of Dark Energy by XENON 1T. Intriguing But Not Certain.

News reports have thundered that we have detected dark energy, others have reported that we may have detected dark energy. The difference being that the reporters either read the title or they read the abstract which qualified the title. Odds are most reporters did not read the body as even a working physicist would have to study this paper for quite a while to understand all it says. Something which I may do since the work “Direct detection of dark energy: The XENON1T excess and future prospects” (Vagnozzi, et al. 2021) published in Physical Review D is a particularly good work. In fact, I would say it is a good example of the type of theory I proposed in 2014 and gave talks about at subsequent APS conferences, in which the fundamental reason we do not detect dark matter particles in experiments like XENON1T is that the particles interact with gravity in such a way in the presence of strong gravity that they annihilate to gravitons. The model they tested proposes that the dark matter particles would annihilate inside dense objects. There are well known models that they test as well.
