Asa: sorry I have been participating lately but I have been out of town. As far as the realm of the universe, it is only in spiral galaxies that they cannot account for the missing mass, however in very recent research, they can account for all the mass in elliptical galaxies, they do not need an ad hoc solution like dark matter. So I am almost skeptical about dark matter. Dark energy though is a different idea. Recent research does suggest that the galaxies are receding from each other at a faster rate. And the data comes from very reliable Supernova 1a measurements.
Nothing is ever set in stone in cosmology, astrophysics, or astronomy, but it is very enlightening none the least.
One question: are you a strong or weak anthropic principle
advocate? Or is that another can of worms? :^)
