Is this dark energy the same as 'nothingness' that zen people talk about?

Not at all, it's a "real" thing. We just don't really know what it is yet. See that link I posted earlier. Or have I missed a joke here? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

By definition you cannot escape the one universe, as your existence is defined within it.

There are plenty of ideas relating to many universes of which our universe is just one (the "multiverse"). You might suggest that we could never escape our one universe, and for sure you're right at the moment. People said we couldn't fly though....

No. Nowhere to go and the forces would be so powerful you could not escape their wrath. It's much more powerful than an aluminum can crusher. It doesn't matter how drunk you are!

Other guy mentioned wormholes to another universe. Yep, that's pretty much your only hope based on what we've guessed.

To my understanding the only thing that can leave our universe is gravity (or more specifically gravitons).
These gravitons have the potential to enter the other parallel universes.

This is mainly based on string theory..
