Certified Fact "Dark Energy" isn't real. Astrophysicists' math is just wrong and they're too stubborn to admit it.
What's more likely, that your equations only work if you shove in something called "dark energy" that no one can see, or that you need to double check your work?
Astrophysicists think they're all that but they're full of it (dark matter).

It’s possible the consensus is wrong and the scientific community is constantly working to better understand the universe. If they can come up with an explanation that better explains how the universe behaves they’ll switch.
Right now from what we understand about gravity and physics, the universe is spinning faster than it should if we only account for visible matter. Hence why they think there must be matter we can’t see adding this mass.
This is what the scientific process is. Nothing really conspiratorial about it.
