Yeah. I've heard several proposed theories, and I thought I remembered them 
having figured out what was going on. But of course people say this, then 
retract it, and say something else, so it's hard to keep up.

Me, I think GR is subtly wrong/incomplete. It'll be interesting to see *how* 
wrong it is when people finally figure out how to unify it. I think even a 
tiny bit of error over universe-sized differences could make for fairly 
noticeable differences.

They also keep finding stuff happening like finding that over intergalactic 
distances, different wavelengths of light move at different speeds, which 
I'm pretty sure completely screws up the fundamentals of QM as well. (They 
postulate it has to do with the wavelength of the light vs the size of 
quantum foam or some such incomprehensible babble.)

In any case, it's all fun to watch the cutting edge.
