Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011

One does not simply "believe" in Dark Energy...
This is an enhanced version (with some upgraded images and text) of an article I first wrote over two years ago. It is just as valid today as it was back then, only today, I have a special offer to go with it. Next week, a bunch of cosmologists and myself are getting together and all writing about dark energy.
