And it's like, yeah, obviously.  With the way things
are going though they'll be adding more and more of
those and, you know, just a few days before that there
was a an article along the lines of "there's only
luminous matter after all", so, it looks pretty clear
that at some point some of the aspects of inflation
and non-sense magic missing matter will fully give way.

And it's like, there's a movie, and it's not a
very good movie yet it has its moments, and it's
a comedy, and it's "Strange Brew", and in this movie,
in one scene there's a Canadian court case about
the murder of the old braumeister, getting pinned
on these Canuck idiots. So anyways, at some point
the little toad-stool had fabricated some evidence
and the court asked him what it was supposed to mean,
and the toad-school was like "as you can see our video
has time-codes on it that definitely establish the
sequence of events". And the judge was like "for the
benefit of the court explain time-codes" or "... the
significance of time-codes". And the toad-stool was
like "just because I don't know what it is, doesn't
mean I'm lying". Later the dog or super-mutt or whatever
it was, had absconded with the real original tapes,
and dropped those on the investigators, who really
arrived that it was the evil master manipulator and
the toad-stool behind the bad times at the brewery.
Heh, at some point the dog, that in this movie flies,
to prevent all these ignorant dupes from swilling up
all this bad beer at Octoberfest, they painted a huge
skunk stripe on its back, so it flew into Octoberfest,
and all the people who'd have died of the bad beer
all scattered, again the dog saving the day.
Anyways there's plenty of "crisis in cosmology" to
go around.
