  • The only difference I see is that “dark” is understood as unknown and not necessarily a single thing.

    A lot of older stuff we talk about seems to be assertive in their existence and what they are. Not all of course, but in the absence of a term that indicates “we really don’t know”, it seems random ideas were pretty common.

    That’s not to say we don’t still do that, but I think it’ll be ideas that came out of or overly supported “dark” nomenclature. Like, say we find out we got Hubble’s constant wrong. I don’t think history will remember us as “believing in dark energy”. Just that we got Hubble’s constant wrong.
