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."

    "Apparently, ripples from inflation in the early universe may account for the observed expansion rate of the universe."

    Can't we just admit we don't have a freakin' clue and move along? "Well shoot, I think TOMATOES might explain the expantion of the universe! LOTS and LOTS of TOMATOES! That are, um, dark. Which is why you can't see them. And they ripple. And stuff."
