Study finds possible alternative explanation for dark energy

[lovbyts]

This article verifies what I and most people already know who are over 40. Time is speeding up. Remember how long the day felt when you were a kid compared to now?

"according to the GPS satellites, our time is not slowing down—which would occur if it were reciprocal. Instead, our time is going faster relative to the satellites, and we know that because of constant communication with the satellites."


ObviouslyI dont agree with the last part of their theory of our time being slower.

what I don't like about "dark energy" and "dark matter" is that the whole theory is based on a "mis-understanding" of what we know about physics.

In accounting, when you are running an equation, and the numbers don't add up they way you need them to, sometimes, when no one is looking, the accountant may "plug" a number into the data so that the equation does work.

And this is essentially what theoretical physicists are doing. They have created an equation based on the "known laws" of physics, and because shit don't add up the way they like, they plug a value into the equation so that this "equation" we are trying to make work, "works". Dark matter/energy has absolutely no factual basis. None. Other than it was inferred based on what we know about the laws of physics and that "things weren't adding up".

So they talk about these "plug numbers" as if they are real tangible attributes of the universe, when in reality, they have not yet made the transition from a math equation to anything we have even remotely observed.

This is a huge leap. By trying to substantiate these plug numbers, we are saying that we are more certain that our theory is more certain than not.

That's like betting the bank on god. We can never truly prove god exists (more on that elsewhere), and a scientist that is pragmatic would never make a leap of faith in any rational way on that subject. Yet, here they are, making a leap of faith with this theory of dark matter/energy. They talk about it with such certainty that most lay people assume the egg head physicists are right.

But there is NO certainty they are right.

And no one really questions them.

Why is that?

It's like some people never question their doctor, (but they should)

So why do we not question these theoretical physicists?

They make claims that we just take at face value?

Are they that arrogant?

Or is it that we are that naïve?
