Shocker (not). I’m also figuring it’s a matter of time (possibly soon, considering this post) before they figure out that light isn’t actually the speed limit, light has “mass”, and that dark matter/energy doesn’t exist because it isn’t needed to satisfy their observations.
Addressing the universe mathematically will teach you an awful lot, but it doesn’t solve everything. I believe it’s a “forest for the trees” problem.
Of course, to a mathematician I’m an unqualified boob - but it’s not the first time I’ve sat back and said “well duh” at one of these “discoveries”.

I don’t think that they will find that light has mass. It makes intuitive sense that they can’t both have mass and travel at the speed of light. At that speed, length contraction will cause them to become 2 dimensional, and I can’t conceive that a 2 dimensional object can have mass which would effect 3 dimensional objects. So, just a hunch, I doubt they have any mass, and if they did, they’d become something other than a photon, and travel slower than c.
I’ve always thought that gravity has a x*3 term which is repulsive. In most normal scales, it has no function. On the galactic and intergalactic scales it can come to dominate the x*2 term which we are more familiar.
