    POPS    Is a 'Dark Force' Pushing the Universe Apart?
    Silkweaver
    by Silkweaver  7-21-2008    6
     Astronomers now recognize that the eventual fate of the universe is inextricably tied to the presence of dark energy and dark matter.The current standard model for cosmology describes a universe that is 70 percent dark energy, 25 percent dark matter, and only 5 percent normal matter.

     Shakespeare was not wrong after all. Perhaps also poetry has a say in Astrophysics. :-)

    POPS    Dark, Perhaps Forever - Clueless about the universe
    Silkweaver
    by Silkweaver  6-9-2008    2
     Whatever proposal is eventually selected, the dark energy satellite will return a tidal wave of data about the universe and its weird denizens, both visible and invisible. This data is likely to transform astronomy in unpredictable ways, but there is no guarantee that it will nail the mystery of dark energy. “We really need new theory, and we have none,” Dr. Krauss said.

     Disproving the Copernican Principle would amount to a a Copernican revolution on its own account :-) Also, certain aspects of general relativity would need a profound review. Fortunately it seems Copernicus was right after all. Or was he?

     I hope this is NASA's only mistake in calculating asteroid impact probabilities. ...and respect to the the bright child.
