When "scientists" tested the first atomic bomb they weren't 100% sure the chain reaction would stop, but they still did it!
Looking back through history at all the "scientists" of their time they always didn't have the full picture.
The Earth is flat!
Well perhaps it's round but it's the centre of the Universe!
Radiation is safe try my radioactive belt for rheumatism!
Etc etc.
If you hear the words "Trust me I am a scientist, it's safe" then on the 6th word you should be 10 paces away and accelerating fast.
The need for dark energy seems to be based on the concept that the Universe is expanding.
The Universe is thought to be expanding mainly due to the red shift of light from distant galaxys, this may be wrong based on...
1) Is it not possible that after travelling huge distances light "slows down" and exhibits a red shift. This would also tie in with the fact that the more distant an object is the faster it appears to be receeding.
2) History proves that what ever a scientist tells you is wrong. Beware of the statement "trust me, I am a scientist" !
