Dark energy with dark spinors

Understand

Ever since the first observations that we are living in an accelerating universe, it has been asked what dark energy is.

• There are various explanations all of which with have various draw backs or inconsistencies.
• Here we show that using a dark spinor field it is possible to have an equation of state that crosses the phantom divide, becoming a dark phantom spinor which evolves into dark energy.
• This type of equation of state has been mildly favored by experimental data, however, in the past there were hardly any candidate theories that satisfied this crossing without creating ghosts or causing a singularity which results in the universe essentially ripping.
