     A look at the NYT Week in Review, front page might be worthwhile.

     An interesting article on dark matter, dark energy, WIMPs, etc.

     resides there ... "Afloat in a Cosmic Hall of Mirrors".

         Cosmology is getting ridiculous: "Throw another epicycle on the
         barbie, Ari!"

         Isn't anyone considering the simplest explanation, that we just
         don't

         understand long-range gravity?! What is truly amusing is how
         seriously these

         wild ideas are taken, when ten years ago, they would have marked you
         as a

         crank! The cosmological constant was a standing joke for decades!
