More Denton: Orbiting teapots theoretically exist (Introduction)

David's comment: Matt Strassler didn't mention this idea. A part of eternal energy? God?-dhw: I couldn't find the word "pure" anywhere, but your heading shows what nonsense all of this is, as Russell showed with his invisible teapot orbiting the sun, and as you constantly point out with your attacks on string theory and multiverses. God also exists theoretically, and theoretically chance is capable of creating life. In any case dark matter and dark energy are "unknowns" (that's why they are called dark), which means they are also nothing but theoretical.-DAVID: The article only used the word 'energy' and did not use the word' pure' because by definition the concept is only about energy expanding the matter of the universe. Dark matter is a different breed of cat and causes gravitational effects not otherwise understood by observation of visible matter. The word 'dark' does not join the two concepts. Orbiting tea pots should be observable.-I'm afraid I still think your heading “pure energy theoretically exists” is as pointless as “multiverses, 11 dimensions and invisible orbiting teapots theoretically exist”, and all the other theories so eloquently dismissed by Neil Turok under “Far out cosmology” (for which many thanks).
