Only the most incredibly ignorant of Neanderthals do not understand the the universe is composed of matter and energy. If you somehow manage to find your way back to your cave, do the the world a favor and stay there. Maybe the baboons and orangutans have the patience to teach you how to bang the rocks together. With the intellectual capabilities of an oyster you may find that fun, and challenging?
Typical of your posts. The ranting of a child, devoid of meaning.
And this is supposed to impress anyone? Or convince them you have the first clue what you are talking about?
First, we don't know what "dark matter" and "dark energy" even ARE. All we know is that we realize we don't know what a HUGE proportion of the universe is, so we've given them "placeholder" names. Neal DeGrasse Tyson has said repeatedly in interviews that we should call them something like "Fred and Wilma" or "We don't have a clue", to be honest how little we really know about that situation.
But even if the universe is composed entirely of matter and energy (and whatever accounts for space-time, dimensionality, etc), SO WHAT? That doesn't make your mess of a "theory", built on blatant errors correct. Nor does it make your predictions remotely correct.
Look in a mirror. Go back to school. Start over. And start making sense.
Given the track record of the perma-doomer blogs, I wouldn't bet a fast crash doomer's money on their predictions.
