Dark Energy: Is It Merely An Illusion?
ScienceDaily (Sep. 29, 2008) —
Dark energy is at the heart of one of the greatest mysteries of modern physics, but it may be nothing more than an illusion, according physicists at Oxford University.
The problem facing astrophysicists is that they have to explain why the universe appears to be expanding at an ever increasing rate. The most popular explanation is that some sort of force is pushing the accelerating the universe's expansion. That force is generally attributed to a mysterious dark energy.
Although dark energy may seem a bit contrived to some, the Oxford theorists are proposing an even more outrageous alternative. They point out that it's possible that we simply live in a very special place in the universe - specifically, we're in a huge void where the density of matter is particularly low. The suggestion flies in the face of the Copernican Principle, which is one of the most useful and widely held tenets in physics.
Copernicus was among the first scientists to argue that we're not in a special place in the universe, and that any theory that suggests that we're special is most likely wrong. The principle led directly to the replacement of the Earth-centered concept of the solar system with the more elegant sun-centered model.
Dark energy may seem like a stretch, but it's consistent with the venerable Copernican Principle. The proposal that we live in a special place in the universe, on the other hand, is likely to shock many scientists. The maverick physicists at Oxford conclude their paper by pointing out that forthcoming tests of the Copernican principle should help us sort out the mystery in the next few years.

My learning in the last 10 months is from the EU and APM. The more I have learned from these two sources, the more insane education and modern theory appears. The blind leading the blind comes to mind.
Now we have cosmic bubbles.

If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe.

All conventional astronomy replaces distance with redshift defined distance. All kinds of crazy stuff pops up.

This is a cellular bubble
In fact, the plasma autoarranges itself spontaneously in cellular forms, from here the word plasma, with reference to the biological plasma.

'Cell' was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw seasmith image.
It's great looking at images of nebulae and seeing cells and it's great looking at at images of cells and seeing nebulae when you are stoned. Seeing the image lose all sense of size gives a great insight into how wrong our concept of space is.

Also called the Local_Bubble and/or "Local Fluff":
Local Chimney and SuperbubblesIt is very thin, with 0.26 atoms per cubic centimeter; approximately one-fifth the density of the galactic interstellar medium and twice that of the gas in the Local Bubble. In comparison, Earth's atmosphere at STP has 2.7 × 1019 molecules per cubic centimeter.

"Our laws of force tend to be applied in the Newtonian sense in that for every action there is an equal reaction, and yet, in the real world, where many-body gravitational effects or electrodynamic actions prevail, we do not have every action paired with an equal reaction." — Harold Aspden
