In physics, quintessence is a hypothetical form of dark energy, more precisely a scalar field, postulated as an explanation of the observation of an accelerating rate of expansion of the universe announced in 1998, rather than due to a true cosmological constant. This scenario has been proposed first by Ratra and Peebles (1998).It has been proposed by some physicists to be a fifth fundamental force.
