Hello WS. I've loved the idea that most of what we know is but the tip of the iceberg - dark energy fits my model of the universe nicely. I've said for some time that things are not as they seem. I believe that Michelson-Morley was misinterpreted. The existence of a directional ether wind was ruled out by M-M only if you think that the ether flowed like a 3D liquid. If it flowed as a 4D hyperliquid, then M-M would be nothing more than saying a leaf on a stream of laminar water being motionless relative to the other leaves proved that the surface was flat and not moving. It is only when you dimensionally "step back" from the frame of reference that you see that there is movement and slope, but it exists at a different level than the surface motion would indicate. So we have these equations of gravity and energy, which are locally consistent, but cosmologically inconsistent. Greatest blunder of his life was the introduction of a non-unity cosmological constant, by Einstein's estimate. Turns out that he was right in introducing it in the first place. Funny, but when quantum mechanics was rejected by Rutherford and other materialists, Einstein said "believe the experiments." His own equations presaged the existence of a Cosmological Constant, yet he eschewed it himself as an intellectual blunder while alive.
