LHC starting up again

[AFTT47]

I don't see why you would say that, can you elaborate? We have observational evidence for DM and indirect observational evidence for DE.

We have observational evidence for something we clearly don't understand. The very fact that they are called, "dark matter" and "dark energy" are red flags for me. Might as well call them "enchanted earth" and "mystic fire." You don't use terminology like that for something you understand. You pointed out yourself that dark matter could be explained by neutrino mass + the mass of an unknown particle. You and Chuck suggest that vacuum energy could constitute dark energy. Those sound simpler (and thus a lot more believable) than some exotic and unknown state of matter and a mysterious energy field which is fundamentally different from anything we know.

I thought that was what you were saying yourself.
