Understanding the mysterious nature and origin of dark energy is one of the most important quests in modern cosmology and fundamental physics. The 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Saul Perlmutter, Brian P. Schmidt and Adam G. Riess for their significant discovery of cosmic acceleration due to dark energy. However, nobody knows what dark energy actually is.This book gives a clear and concise introduction to the main dark energy models, including the cosmological constant, which Einstein called the biggest blunder of his lifetime. In particular, it analyzes in detail the possible holographic origin of dark energy. Based on a deep analysis of existing ideas, the book also proposes an intriguing conjecture on the origin of dark energy, according to which the dark energy originates from the quantum fluctuations of spacetime limited by the discretized event horizon of the universe. ...
