Default THE POWER OF EINSTEINIANA

http://www.skyandtelescope.com/news/36372969.html
Dark Energy: Yes, It's Real — and Overwhelming....."The simplest
explanation," says David Spergel (Princeton University), "is that
there's energy associated with empty space," as Einstein proposed and
particle physicists have long speculated. In other words, Spergel
quips, "even nothing weighs something" — and the weight of nothingness
has a negative value. The universe contains so much nothing, that
nothing's slight negative weight has begun pushing apart everything
that's not already gravitationally bound. Spergel calls the new result
a "triumph of general relativity."

Judging from Google News, within only a few days, at least 234
journalists-sycophants have sung dithyrambs similar to the above one.
In this atmosphere open letters like this one:

are totally useless and dissident cosmologists seem to have realized
this.
