Its interesting that posters on this thread, are eager to see me move onto other science/'physics forums at the high end of town' and I have never once asked anyone here, to go somewhere else.

At no point have I suggested you leave the forum and would never do so. What I have suggested as I perceive from you posts and detailed answers is that you crave disscussion more appropriate on a forum dedicated to such things. I have also suggested that we conduct ourselves in a dignified manner and leave emotion out of it no matter how frustrated we become with others after all that is what scientific debate is all about. If we are to
educate and inform we need to make concessions and use our knowledge to put things into a form that the lay person can understand rather then overwhelm with techno-babble and drive them away. After all the mark of someone who really knows their stuff is that they can communicate difficult concepts to people who have little or no understanding in a simple
palatable form. As for the "DARK" stuff, that will only be around as long as ignorance prevails and by this I mean we really dont have a clue. Once we have more then simple theories the dark will become light and we will look back at a very embarrasing episode in science history as surely the hardest thing for any scientist to say is "we don't really know". Unfortunately this has been a major feature in physics for more than 100 years.
