Quantum gravity as dark energy inflow.

It is assumed that dark energy (68.3% of what constitutes our Universe) is quantized and behaves as a superfluid. We hypothesize that the flux described in Gauss's law for gravity is real and corresponds to dark energy absorption into massive particles. Due to absorption, a quantum potential arises from the pressure gradient around any massive body and quantum gravity (as superfluid quantum gravity, SQG) is explained without resorting to gravitons. If dark energy exists, it is irrefutable that it is an ether which fills up the whole Universe and the Michelson-Morley test should be then revised starting from a different assumption, since the ether wind would correspond to the gravitational field and would be independent of Earth's motion. An interferometric test has confirmed this different assumption. In SQG the Lense-Thirring precession occurs, along with any other effect described in special and general relativity. It is therefore suggested to replace Einstein's curved space-time with a superfluid space evolving in time through its fluid dynamics. Time dilation and gravitational waves are allowed in this approach and the consequences on light propagation and Hubble's law are analyzed.
