I'd say it's of dubious value.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

Switch back to pro-dark-energy smugness!

[MetalSlimeHunt]

That's just what the shadow people want you to think.

The truth is out there.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

...do you mean antimatter? Darkmatter? Huh? Who are the shadow people?

*whoosh*

Also, on on topic news, why are they throwing out the idea of dark matter along with the fact that they are throwing out the idea that the universe is constantly accelerating? That's ridiculous imho, dark matter could just as well be a stabilization force within the universe considering the original hypothesis posits that it makes up 80% of our universe. I don't think that correlates to the percentage rate of expansion of the universe when that theory was long-ago made.

Dark matter is a whole other thing, and not in question. Dark energy simply needs better statistical examination according to that paper.

Assuming you meant dark energy, not matter - they are not throwing out dark energy. A non-constant DE, whose density evolution is tracking matter density, is required to keep the expansion history steady. Without some form of DE, the expansion has to be strictly decelerating as matter (dark and baryonic) and radiation content works gravitationally to slow down the initial impulse.

Hm, interesting. So, I wonder what the possible correlation could be to a earlier point in time when the earth was first formed, because(and I will have to find sources for this) the earth had an atmosphere so composed that people uh, apparently lived for hundreds of years and that's-If I'm not mistaken, why we use hyper-baric chambers to heal burn victims. Could this correlate with the term baryonic that you are using, and it's supposed impact on the study of dark 'matter' or energy? That's my question here.

[Starver]

Not sure if that's a serious question or not.  (But Greek "barus" means "heavy", so high-pressure atmosphere and the heavier classes of particle (as known at the time of coining) both use that root for their own reasons.)

[Max™]

...wat

People didn't live for hundreds of years, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hyperbaric is speaking of significantly greater than regular atmospheric pressure, which is around 1 bar at sea level. Baryons are things like protons and neutrons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baryon

[x2yzh9]

Ehh I was just trying to connect the dots

[Max™]

Well, the baros root connection was correct, but the rest is out there.

Scientist cannot decide if Saturn is white and gold, or black and blue.

Well I have good news and bad news folks: god exists, but he's a troll.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Saturn is actually just endorsing the Civilization games' design choices.

No, it's neither. It's Bill Murray...
