Thanks! I appreciate the way you put it for us laymen...I think the new discovery at CERN will push physics and the universe as we see it to a whole different level. Boise Divorce Attorney

Universe gazing, dark matter, count me in!! These telescopic structures are cute, admiring the heavenly constructs of a great Creator!

Dark energy? They are just fast moving invisible “marbles”. When two or more collide and are forced to reduced their speed, they become “matter”.

Dark energy and Dark matter are for real. Just as we cannot “see” gravity and air does not mean they do not exist. One day scientists are going to “find” dark energy which will serve humanity for all our needs.

If they were to ‘talk’ based on what they do know, all they could say about the Universe is “we don’t know much” – and nobody would pay them to say that But even scarier is to realize that when they use words like dark energy; dark matter; strange – up – down – quarks; even reverse gravity; everybody responds with ‘awesome, yes, I see’ pretending we know what they mean, and approves them being paid to say those things

Nice response. It is presumptive replies like the above that prevent me from posting questions. Shame, but I guess a little knowledge can indeed be a dangerous, or at least rude, thing

It is wonderful technology. Hopefully it show that dark energy does not exist. Maybe it show that the expansion acceleration is caused by gravity from dark matter or universes beyond our universe.

Did I “choose” to ignore the possibility of “negative curvature”? Or is it maybe possible that I didn’t know about “negative curvature” and therefore couldn’t have possibly brought it up in my comment?

Both of you have chosen to ignore the possibility of negative curvature, i.e. hyperbolic geometry.
