Conclusion

We saw in this chapter that the universe was composed of approximately a not-baryon third of matter, and of a baptized component even more mysterious black energy. The other identified components (let us baryons and photons) contribute probably marginally to the assessment of energy. We will see in the next chapter how measurements of distance and in particular those of distance from luminosity make it possible to force the cosmological parameters and the nature of black energy.
