Dark Energy comes from Anti-Universe, New Theory Says

Dark Energy is the name that astrophysicists have given to what ever accelerates the expansion of our universe. In a recent paper, a physicist has now claimed that it's nothing to do with dark energy, it's that we are entangled with an โanti-universe.โ I thought this was complete nonsense until I noticed the idea is closely related to Eric Verlindeโs emergent gravity that I was quite fond of before it basically disappeared.

Which one is crazier: Dark Energy or the Anti-Universe?
-
In the anti-universe, I can afford a house.
-
Seems that without equations or testable predictions, this is the equivalent of a bunch of stoners saying "Hey man, what if gravity was really, like..."
-
I am old enough to remember when, in scientific endeavor, a theory was something that had been tested. This is hardly a theory. It's nothing more than conjecture - or speculation.
-
This generation of physicists is just writing string theory fanfiction
-
When your sums don't add up, make up another universe to explain it. My wife noticed some cookies were missing from the cookie jar recently. I patiently explained about dark cookies and how it was due to entanglement and all that but she just didn't get it. She just called me a fat idiot.
-
I saw this episode, the anti-universe is where the Superfriends are evil and Spock has a goatee.
-
When did science stop being about experimentation and data collection rather than everyone throwing random theories at the wall
-
Yes, this is the best possible explanation, I can guarantee. I got entangled once with a woman, then we hated each other and started to have accelerated distance expansion after divorce
-
I'm no scientist, but I can't help but to think this feels more like creative brainstorming for a sci-fi setting than an actual theory. "Wouldn't it be sweet if there was a parallel universe, that is like, entangled - and we could explain everything with it like it was the second coming of Mass Effect?"
-
00:51 More specifically how you say "The Nobel Prize" in Swedish. We don't have "the", but use a suffix instead, in this case "-et" in "Nobelpriset".
-
Theories to explain theories = building castles in the sky.
-
Somewhere there is an anti-Sabine making physics more difficult for people.
-
Never mind string theory, I think we need straw theory because that's what physicists are grasping at.
-
Ah, Anti-Universe, Darkseid's wet dream.
-
Jean Pierre Petit presented his cosmological theory decades ago on this topic. The Janus model. He has a YouTube channel even in English. He also invented the MHD tech used on hypersonic missiles and torpedos.
-
Everyone has a dark energy theory until they get punched in the face (Mike deGrasse Tyson)
-
Letโs not go to the Anti-Universe - "Hell Is Only A Word. The Reality Is Much, Much Worse!" - William Weir ( Event Horizon / 1997 )
-
The fact that this cannot be made understandable makes me suspect it's anti-gobbledegook essence.
-
I get the feeling, from watching Sabine's channel, that a lot of Physics departments are full of rank bullshitters.
