The sun was in fact born in the saggitarus galaxy, but the milky ways gravity stretched it, and placed our sun where it is today.

read better. i didn't say it was the only possibility. just that its the most excepted amongst mainstream scientists and that its the only known method of explaining "ASPECTS" of the universe and its expansion.learn to understand and retain what you read better.
funny i cant find any peer reviewed and excepted science papers on your gravity leakage theory. just 1 guy offering a theory. a good one at that, but still only theory.

Are you seriously suggesting I should refrain from challenging the dark matter/energy theory? How would you expect understanding to move forward if no one challenges current understanding? The fact you seem to think I doubt dark/matter energy because there is no solid proof is very patronising and betrays your rigid thinking on the subject.

nope never said that...you'd be a fool not to. but your the one that said that dark energy and matter don't exist. i simply stated the fact that most of the scientific community is on board with the idea. maybe there wrong or maybe there right. maybe it is leakage, but i never said it was or wasn't you did. again learn to retain what you read better please.

I wasn't looking for an argument when I posted that comment, only discussion. But the subtext of you response was adversarial unless your comment was only to state the obvious. How do you know my theory is a good one? You haven't seen it in full. If a theory explains what is observed without the need to invent new factors then what does it matter how many have it?
