Abstract
Could dark energy by responsible for an increase of entropy in our universe? If so, could it be a physical representation of time? In this essay I hypothesize that dark energy could be the force that pulls on matter with the vector opposite to that of gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong force, which leads to an increase in the amount of universal entropy. I also attempt to infer possible properties of dark energy using the notion of time in relativity.
