Man, I feel like a lot of the science headline writers forget that dark matter and dark energy were only ever placeholders. This doesn't "rattle our view of the universe"; we already knew that our view was incomplete, hence the need for placeholders in the first place.

pop-sci gonna pop-sci

but, you know, it helps to moderate the terror of watching publically funded US science getting "fed into the woodchipper". perhaps it piques more general interest. idk. I am sad.
