There’s never been a “big bang”, the universe is not expanding, and if dark matter or dark energy could be detected, it would not be dark. For that matter if the stuff were actually 95% of the universe as claimed, you’d be vacuuming it up off your carpets four or five times a day.
That’s all we need is a “newbie” that knows everything. Stand over by that wall. That is where we keep the weirdos.
In other news, the earth is flat! Film at 11.
The universe is supposedly only 70% dark energy (4% normal matter, the rest dark matter). The universe is mostly empty space, since matter tends to clump together because of gravity. If dark energy exists, it tends to spread out evenly instead, because it has negative gravity. That means there would be very little dark energy locally, but adding up all the much larger empty voids (empty of matter, not dark energy) makes it the dominant force.

I agree. There is a defect in the speed of light over millions of years. This defect, or the observation called the red shift, has led to the misunderstanding that the universe is expanding. The universe is in a steady state condition and has always been and always will be. Although there have already been two Nobel Prizes awarded for observation of the remnants of the Big Bang, it will not be the first time or last (hello Al Gore) that the Nobel has been awarded for bogus reasons. Cosmologists are always debating the number of angels on the head of a pin.
Pretty bold claims. When are you going to publish your authoritative paper in the peer-reviewed proceedings of a major scientific conference?
the universe is not expanding,
Wendy, wendy, wendy, of course the universe is expanding,
and do you know why?
Because it’s trying to get away from Chuck Norris!
There, now go back to your vacuuming.
