Suggests a natural resolution to the cosmic-coincidence problem.

Provides a self-consistent speculative model of dark energy.

Abstract

It has, quite recently, become fashionable to study a certain class of holographic-inspired models for the dark energy. These investigations have, indeed, managed to make some significant advances towards explaining the empirical data. Nonetheless, surprisingly little thought has been given to conceptual issues such as the composition and the very nature of the implicated energy source. In the current discourse, we attempt to fill this gap by the way of some speculative yet logically self-consistent arguments. Our construction takes us along a path that begins with an entanglement entropy and ends up at a Hubble-sized gas of exotic particles. Moreover, our interpretation of the dark energy turns out to be suggestive of a natural resolution to the cosmic-coincidence problem.
