Dark Matter potentially solved: "doesn't exist"

lol what Legend said. 

If we think of Dark Matter being the reason why gravity seems to be stronger than it should be, Dark Energy could be thought of as the reason why gravity seems to be weaker than it should be. 

Basically the reason why Dark Energy is being considered a possibility is that we expect gravity to be slowing down how fast the expansion of the universe is.  What we observe is that the expansion isn't slowing down at all, it's not even staying constant.  It's actually increasing.  The hypothesis suggest that Dark Energy is the reason for the acceleration, almost an "anti-gravity".

We're assuming the rate of the universe expanding is accelerating .  Though we just can't really get good measurements.  That damned cosmological constant is constantly changing.  Though I was complaining about refering to meteriotes, cooled down sun cores, etc, as "Dark Matter" and then refer to bodies with large gravitational fluxes as "Dark Matter".  Un-seeable cores, planets, etc exist, we know what they are.  These unknown gravitational fluxes are unknown fluxes that may be black holes.  It's like saying "I might have an old shirt in my closet" vs "I have a black hole in my closet".  One is a shirt we knew we threw in there, the other destroys planets.

And now that I think about it, wouldn't it be better to call "Dark Energy" as "Dark Force" or "Anti-Gravity"?
