The article in Science Daily uncovered new research by astronomers in the Physics Department at Durham University suggests that the conventional wisdom about the content of the Universe may be wrong.
The research is based on observations from Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe satellite of the remnant heat from the Big Bang.
The last observation in 2001 showed that the ripples were about twice the size of the full moon or around a degree across.
This suggested the cosmos is made of 4% normal matter, 22% dark or invisible matter and 74% dark energy.
The new observation showed that the measurement of the size of the ripples are significantly smaller, which could imply that the dark matter and dark energy are not present after all.
In astronomy and cosmology, dark matter is matter that is inferred to exist from gravitational effects on visible matter and background radiation, but is undetectable by emitted or scattered electromagnetic radiation. Its existence was hypothesized to account for discrepancies between measurements of the mass of galaxies, clusters of galaxies and the entire universe made through dynamical and general relativistic means, and measurements based on the mass of the visible "luminous" matter these objects contain: stars and the gas and dust of the interstellar and intergalactic media
Dark matter is crucial to the Big Bang model of cosmology as a component which corresponds directly to measurements of the parameters associated with Friedmann cosmology solutions to general relativity.
Dark energy is or was the most popular way to explain recent observations and experiments that the universe appears to be expanding at an accelerating rate.
Galaxies show signs of being composed largely of a roughly spherically symmetric, centrally concentrated halo of dark matter with the visible matter concentrated in a disc at the center.
Low surface brightness dwarf galaxies are important sources of information for studying dark matter, as they have an uncommonly low ratio of visible matter to dark matter, and have few bright stars at the center which would otherwise impair observations of the rotation curve of outlying stars.
Gravitational lensing observations of galaxy clusters allow direct estimates of the gravitational mass based on its effect on light from background galaxies.
What does this mean?
If dark energy exists, then it ultimately causes the expansion of the Universe to accelerate, and plays a central role in th structure formation and galaxy evolution.
If it does not exist, then the structure formation and galaxy evolution must have been made by another method or system Or God.....
So far there is no known proved method or system that has arranged the cosmos.
All what we have are theories.
Even scientists are skeptical if these theories could be applied or not.
Well.... It seems the theory of God is prevailing as constant amongst all other theories.
This would leave the open possibility that the religious arguments are after all true.
Scientists believe that the acceleration of the Universe began about 5 billion years ago.
But we have learnt in religion and Myth that time has no essence in creation, as it has no essence in other dimensions or other worlds...
Would it be possible that the 5 billion years scientists are talking about is reality only 6000 years.. Adam Age?
It seems now all possibilities are wide open.
Will we know the truth?.... Who knows

it is amazing how religion and science are always in competition, i guess we will always have different possibilities and will never know the exact truth
