it sounds and looks like bullshit!

nature shows more and more that the most historic abundant
ordinary things like BHs (mekanics) and neutrino (oscillation)
are the real reasons behind what we call dark matenergy.

Yeah, if there isn't a word for that, then there should be. It happens
so often it deserves its own term. The Inuit have something like 30
different names for different types of snow, because they see it often
enough that it requires its own terms. Some central Asian dialects have
a separate name for a castrated yak, again one must assume they see it
enough to require its own term. There should be something similar for
science funding. :)
