Dark Energy and Dark Matter may be the same thing

Consider that Dark Energy is a force that arises within vast regions of empty space that pushes galaxies apart.
Dark Matter is the name given to a force that acts like extra gravity within galaxies. Without that extra force, the edges of the galaxy would fly away.

If you have a force pushing galaxies away from each other, that force needs to push on something. It seems reasonable that the force would push on the outer edge of the galaxies the most, making it look like the galaxies have more gravitational mass than they really do.
