Based on what?

[from occupied ga]

Dark energy could be some property of space itself, which is what Einstein was thinking of when he proposed it. Or it could be something akin to an electromagnetic field pushing on the universe. And then there's the possibility that the whole thing is caused by some hitherto undiscovered wrinkle in the laws of gravity.

And, if the government just takes enough tax dollars from people who have absolutely no interest in whether or not the universe is expanding at a constant rate or not and would far rather spend the money that they earned on things that are of importance to them, then this "important" mystery might someday be solved.

More importantly PhDs in astronomy will be supported even though they cannot make a living selling their skills in a free market marketplace.

Just propaganda to insure that repairs necessary to the Hublle are funded.

This is old news.
