Dark Energy May Be Changing

SpaceAdmiral writes "Nature is reporting that Dark energy, the hypothetical energy driving the universe's expansion, may not be as constant as previously thought. According to new research the strength of dark energy may be very different now than it was when the universe was young."

Well, for the record, during the height of the dumb-assed anti-French movement, when I went to McDonalds, I ordered: "Yes, I'll have a number one, and I'll have FRENCH fries, not freedom fries...." And, yes, I have French blood in me, but it's from some 100 years ago.

I have 7 lines of blood in me, so I'm quite sick of nationalist ferver, hegemony, empire, nascence, preeminence, pre-ordination, and all the other bullshit oozing out of the Sleelies (merger of sleetaks and hillbillies) exercising manifest destiny.

Too bad there aren't any REAL E.T.s coming here. Maybe (no, make that a big HOPEFULLY0 the so-called "leadership" on this big blue marble would be eaten, whipped into shape, or zapped into another dimension. We need a much bigger problem than HIV, bird flu, tamil-tiger flu, "tehristststs" and those who use "heck" every 5 minutes or 15 times in an hour-long interview. Give me that SETI and I'll find the direction to pump a kentigawatts of noise saying, "Come here and GET our asses and save us form the insane portfolio-driven jerks stalking this planet."

Whew, rant mode off... with an undeclared rant mode on...
