It’s good to see people get a clue that they might not have a clue. :)

I wonder how much of the universe(even our own planet for that matter) we REALLY know, versus what we *THINK* we know, but really haven’t a clue about.

Cosmic, man!

But this doesn’t indicate if there would still be unaccountable matter.

Wait a week. It’ll be back.

Dark energy may not exist in space, scientists claim, but definitely exists in Hell and in the space between Obummer`s ears.

Only GOD knows! One of the many reasons to get right with HIM. The afterlife is wondrous if chosen correctly.

“But scientists now claim that the waves of radiation which were previously measured at about twice the size of the full moon may in fact be less than half that size.”

Does this mean that instead of twice the size of the full moon, it is less than the size of the full moon, or less than half the size of the moon?

If it is the former, that would still seem to only indicate that we can account for 8% of the universe, instead of 4%.

How will they explain away the High-z Supernova Search Team results?

[Oceander]

Wow; pretty cool. I’m a rank outsider when it comes to physics more complicated than falling off a log (I know that one’s due to gravity!), but I’ve always had a sneaking feeling that dark matter and dark energy were just a little too much like the old Aether to really sit well with a modern theory of the universe. Perhaps now we’ll either see that we’ve just re-invented Aether 2.0, or else we’ll get the “dark” components on a more supportable foundation.

Thanks for posting!

This raises the possibility that the "dark side" of the cosmos does not exist...
