How? There’s nothing between the things so I’m guessing there’s no energy?
Does it mean space being created out of nothing between things? I’m not good at it but wouldn’t that violate conservation of energy?

My understanding Quantum field theory says virtual particles can be created out of vacuum fluctuations, which makes me think there will be more energy after expansion. Again, I might be getting it wrong.

I’d say you’ve more chance of being right than me since I know nothing about it. I mean how can a particle be virtual lol. I thought a vacuum meant no particles.

I believe that’s what dark energy is- the shortfall from not violating conservation of energy, given what we know about physics vs what we observe in the universe.
