I'm kind of glad they've been thrown into a bit of disarray by the discovery of dark energy. I was a little disappointed back in the early 90s when everyone was saying we were on the verge of discovering a Grand Unifying Theory that would explain everything there was to explain about the universe. Better the mystery never ends, imho.

Alan Guth needs wider recognition. And like somebody said on FR a few days ago, dark energy/dark matter may be the aether of our day.
