Lord, we thank you for all we have, let's remember those who are less fortunate than us, and yes, thank you for making dark matter, and knowing a whole lot more about it than we do.

So, while we learn about the great mystery of the universe, it appears the New York Times is drifting away from basic sentence structure, as illustrated by these three phrases from the article:

thus determine whether collapse one day [missing "it would"]

quantum mechanics, , which showed [a double comma-space]

and a variety large astronomical projects [missing "of"]

At least the scientists seem coherent. Regards,

I thought that

DARK energy

was what her unroyal lowness, her hideous heinous--Bwitch Shrillery Antoinette de Fosterizer de Machiavelli de Marx de Stalin de Pol Pot . . . de Sade

was running around loose on.

And, of course, creating all manner of dark matter in the process.

Shoot, if she keeps up at this pace, we could probably fertilize the Sahara with all the dark donkey matter she produces.

But methinks I've spring-boarded off onto a very spurious tangent from the thread topic . . .

I just couldn't think of much darker energy or matter than that associated with Shrillery.

Did anyone else who read the linked article find the following paragraph strange? I mean what does it have to do with anything iun the article? And what is Sean Carroll trying to say (or rather what is the reporter trying to say)? I have no idea. Seems like a spurious gripe.
Sean Carroll, a cosmologist at the California Institute of Technology who was not part of the team, said: “Had they found the evolution was not constant, that would have been an incredibly earth-shaking discovery. They looked where no one had been able to look before.”
