Fermilab Reports Dark Energy Not Needed

Posted by Hemos on from the like-inflation-in-gas-prices dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A Fermilab press release reports that the expansion of the universe may be explainable without the need for dark energy or a cosmological constant. Apparently, ripples from inflation in the early universe may account for the observed expansion rate of the universe."

    I was all set to register for cosmetology school, thinking it would be a growing field with lots of opportunities.

    There's still a need for hair stylists and designers if you decide to go to cosmetology school. However, the only dark matter you're be dealing with is what clogs the drains. ;)
