Dark Energy Confirmed
bill_mcgonigle writes "By correlating the results of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, astronomers have confirmed the existence of dark energy.
While gravity attracts, dark energy repels, so by comparing the positions of millions of galaxies and their red-shifts with the temperature map of the early universe, evidence was found for dark energy on the scale of 100 million light years.
"Dark energy, whatever it is, is something that is not attracted by gravity" said David Spergel, a Princeton University cosmologist and a member of the WMAP science team.
"We are finding that most of the stuff in our universe is abnormal in that it is gravitationally repulsive rather than gravitationally attractive," said Albert Stebbins of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The universe is expanding at an accelerating rate, a switch that happened about 6.3 billion years ago, before which the expansion was decelerating."
All you regular '+5 funny masturbation wannabe' posters better step off. This story is belongin' to the TROLLS!!
Troll away, boys! TROLL AWAY!
read subject.
No on-topic, regular posts
Let us troll.
WE SHALL BE FREE!!!
And the friggin' towel-headed sand niggers who come over here and steal the jobs of god-fearing Americans.
Biznitches.
YOU FAIL IT.
Gravity IS NOT ATTRACTIVE, and is not a force.
...whatever...
Gravity is the LACK of OPPOSING force, caused by a local absorption of this so-called "dark energy" by a local mass. In effect, gravity is a "shadow" produced by the blocking of the dark energy's repulsion from one direction. The net effect of which is to accelerate one body towards another, as each "feels" the "shadow" - the reduced opposition - from the direction of the other.
My God, why does science take so long to realize its sillyness? What about all the "proof" that the Earth was the center of the universe? The ancient Egyptians believed that they could "prove" this fallacy by accurately predicting the location of any planet in the night sky as it precedes. Yes, their math was correct, but Kepler showed us (through orbital mechanics) that the Egyptians' conclusion was wrong - that the Earth was *not* the center of the universe. What the Egyptians had done was A) calculate the Earth's position, relative to the sun, B) calculate the planet's position, also relative to the sun, and C) combine the two equations into one. Hidden in the so-called "proof" of the Egyptians was the new proof that the Sun was the center of our universe.
Gravity is not an attraction, as "attractive" an idea as that may seem to be. Get over it. Don't even get me started about (one of) the laws of motion - for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Where is the "reaction" to the gravity "reaching out and grabbing" the other body?...
I always thought that this was malarky, and now they're trying to shove it to us like its proof or something. Let's get this straight: until someone can harnest this 'dark energy' and prove to me it really exists, well, I'm not going to believe it. Instead I'm going to believe that gravity is a resultant factor of a lot of mass being in generally one place. Since I also theorize that matter is made of waves that are condensed into tangled balls of electromagnetic energy (sorry, no better definition for "energy traveling in a 3d waveform"), it's simple to believe that the size of atoms are not tiny balls of matter, but instead gigantic clouds of electromagnetic energy, probably reaching miles in diameter, with a super condensed core. It's hard to explain but by lots of these being in one region, its simple to see how gravity works, especially on objects with a velocity vector. But explaining that might take a little while.. But then again, IANAP, although I'de like to be one.. especially if i can prove this waveform partical existance theory.. making teleportation a very simple thing to knock out...
