The success of Steve Gutenberg as a leading man in 80's films has neve made sense to me.

Three of them: the horizon effect, dark matter, and dark energy, are probably explained already: The universe is not expanding, the big bang never happened. That is because the so-called dark matter is actually molecular hydrogen, which is interfering with the starlight and giving it the redshift effect.

However, I'm not a physicist, so I don't know what any of that means.

Great article, especially this line: "Something is ingesting the nutrients, metabolising them, and then belching out gas laced with carbon-14. So why no party?"
