We have some ideas. XENON1T was&amp;#x2F;is testing some of those theories about dark matter.&lt;p&gt;We know next to nothing at all about dark energy. We&amp;#x27;re pretty sure it&amp;#x27;s a thing, or else our model of the universe is just completely wrong and it&amp;#x27;s not anything at all.&lt;p&gt;So if XENON1T finds something that doesn&amp;#x27;t fit their model of dark matter, going on a limb and saying &amp;quot;I dunno, maybe it&amp;#x27;s dark energy?&amp;quot; is a fun thought experiment and model, but at best it might lead to further experiments to see how likely that model is to be true. And from what I&amp;#x27;m reading, that&amp;#x27;s the attitude the scientists behind XENON1T are taking here.&lt;p&gt;But alas, we all know that tomorrow we can expect pop-sci articles saying &amp;quot;DARK ENERGY HAS BEEN SOLVED&amp;quot;.</text></comment>
