Astrophysicists Just Made a New Count of All the Dark Matter and Dark Energy in the Universe
A new analysis of more than 1,500 supernovae has put fresh precision on measurements of the dark matter and dark energy that permeate our universe.
According to the research, about two-thirds of the cosmos (66.2%) is made up of dark energy, and the remaining third (33.8%) is made up of matter. . Almost all matter is what’s called “dark,” meaning we can’t actually see it—we only know it’s there because we can measure its gravitational effects.
LOL! So now they know the amounts down to the tenth of a percent. Such confidence from *scientists* who still haven’t a clue what dark matter or dark energy are, even after spending decades and decades and billions and billions of dollars trying to find out.
LOL! The “simplest theory”? They don’t know what dark energy is and their “simple” theory seems to require magical gnomes of one sort or another. The only thing they really accomplished in this study is to prove, for all intents and purposes, that the two different values of the Hubble constant that exist aren’t a fluke. It's a huge problem. As another MSM article (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technolo ... r-AA139L0c) states, “something is fishy with our understanding of the universe." And what do you bet that their solution to this problem will end up involving still more gnomes. They even mention some in the article. Just saying …“We have nailed down dark energy more precisely than ever to the leading theory, the cosmological constant, suggesting that the universe behaves in the way that can be explained by the simplest theory,” said Dillon Brout, an astrophysicist and Einstein Fellow at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian and the paper’s lead author.
