I wonder if dark matter and dark energy will balance out in the end?

If so what would it look like?

It may be too dark to see?

An end of universe scenario where dark matter evolves into a universe where only black holes exist.

Gas condenses to galaxies, galaxies condense to black holes,

Meanwhile dark energy is pushing the black holes away while the black holes try to attract all other black holes, possibly the two forces may equalize bring the expansion to a halt. Everything will just sit there in equilibrium.

Or it could streach to a distant point and then on the distant future collapse with perhaps the same speed.

Or it could keep expanding forever if the accelerating universe keeps getting faster possibly towards an infinite speed.

There’s been some speed bumps in the past.
There might be other speed bumps in the future.

So seen as two forces dark energy accelerating space and dark matter and everything else ending up in black holes their combined gravity stretching out to infinity.

Something like that.

Hmm. I can’t see it happening. The excess of dark energy over dark matter is causing the universe’s expansion to accelerate.

Dark matter, even though we have no idea what it is, has been fairly constant with time.

So what you’re proposing is that dark energy will weaken. Such weakening is possible with the quintessence and phantom energy theories of dark energy.

A balance between the two would just be uniform acceleration, somewhat boring.

If dark energy decreases to nothing, then the question becomes whether the amount of dark matter present is sufficient to halt the expansion of the universe. I know for a fact that baryonic matter alone is not sufficient to halt the expansion of the universe. But dark matter alone, I don’t know.
