No Dark Energy Posted by cwes99_03 on 18-Sep-2005 - Day(s) left: 573

My prediction is that sometime in the near future someone will finally realize that the amount of energy that currently is theorized as dark matter is actually pent up in all the E/M fields traversing the known universe.
Light has been emitted from luminous objects since shortly after the theorized big bang. Much of that light is vibrating in space, simply traveling through a vacuum. As one of our own members here has repeatedly pointed out, light according to relativity must have some gravitational effects (Nick).
Most importantly, light is not visible traveling through a vacuum, until it reflects off of a surface. Therefore, this theory only needs a mathematician to attempt to calculate the possible amount of energy traveling through space between every astronomical body that produces or reflects light.
