Dr. Joe, It's well known that galactic "dark matter" measurements rest on Newtonian gravity. E.g. galaxy rotation curves are generated based on a Newtonian model of a galaxy spinning in an otherwise empty universe. There have been some grumblings about this lately; Dr. Becky did a podcast on...

Regarding the video, Ivan wrote, “I expected very little. This was actually very, very good!” You can lead a horse to water; you can’t make it drink. A coherent accounting of the accelerating expansion is there, for anyone who thirsts for understanding.

In 2015, Ali and Das showed that IF gravity is quantized, THEN a term must be added to the Friedmann equations that "looks like" dark energy. It also looks like my equation for dark energy, based on reaction terms. Ali and Das have not received the Nobel prize for explaining dark energy...

An explanation for dark energy has already been offered up here: https://forums.space.com/threads/is-%E2%80%9Cdark-energy%E2%80%9D-%CE%9B-a-reaction-term.34960/ The infallibility of human endeavor is not a scientific principle, and it needs to go the way of the geocentric model of the solar...

Gravity is probably not quantized. There is no physical evidence for it. It's just theorists playing what-if games.

Helio: No. I am not being facetious. My thesis, in short, is that the scientific authorities have erred: they added a supernatural force to the model, Λ, before accounting for the natural forces, η and R_i. Their work is not sloppy. Pardon me. The historic path to the present conundrum took a...

Thanks, all. I guess that answers my question. The dark energy enigma stems from sloppy science, not nature hiding anything. Interesting...

In the Standard Model, action and reaction were left out, to make the math manageable. Try solving Einstein’s tensor-matrix-calculus, and you’ll see why. Star and galaxy formation constitute the main “action” in the cosmos. Such action—collapse—cannot occur without reaction—expansion...
