I don't know, the evidence for dark energy has always seemed a lot sketchier than the evidence for dark matter. Dark matter has lots of interlocking lines of evidence. Isn't dark energy pretty much entirely based on various cosmic distance measures that all have huge stacks of assumptions embedded?

I agree. Until i see better evidence for 1a, wmap, and cluster formation in another theory, i really want all the charlatans to be quiet. We dont know what dark energy is, but we have decent evidence to say it is there and also decent theory.

I am not saying this paper is made by charlatan btw. This type of work attracts those people though.
