Is there any serious theoretical connection between black hole physics and dark energy, or are they completely unrelated in modern cosmology?
I’ve been reading a bit about black holes and cosmology, and I keep wondering if there is any serious theoretical connection between black hole physics and dark energy.
From what I understand, black holes strongly affect spacetime locally, while dark energy seems to affect the large-scale expansion of the universe. But I’m curious if there are any models or hypotheses that try to link the two in a meaningful way, or if modern physics treats them as completely separate phenomena.
Is there any research direction that explores this connection, or is it generally considered unrelated in current cosmology?
I’d appreciate any explanations or corrections if I’m misunderstanding something.
