From Conrad Norris
As a non-physicist, even I could understand this article about the possible banishment of dark energy. I would suggest, though, a better analogy for the “heretics” undermining the “dark side” than comparing them to Copernicus. How about the collapse of the hypothesis that a Planet Vulcan between Mercury and the sun could explain the planet's non-Newtonian orbit? While Copernicus debunked religious dogma with observation and science, Einstein's theory of general relativity explained the orbit and turned good Newtonian science into great science.
