Dark Energy: The problem with Einstein's Cosmological Constant is that there's no physics behind it
This link is a bit of a long read, and a bit terse at times. But he is describing a quantum-gravity theory that could explain the mechanisms behind Dark Energy, but the Cosmological Constant cannot.

Taking a Fresh Look at the Physics of Radiometers.

Another Big Hubble Error for Space Expantion
Hubble omitted the Relativistic Aberration of Light, this gives an incorrect measurement of the *brightness* of a supernova. Not from supernovas, but extreme aberration causes light from behind an observer to appear in front, likewise all of space contracts (NOT expands) to a single point. This can also falsify C... 3 Jun 2010 23:26

Quantum Gravity 397.6: Contradictions of "No Superluminal Speed"
Two recent papers in arXiv have gone in the opposite directions almost, one finding a superluminal flare in the Central Black Hole of our galaxy, the second claiming that a superluminal geometry would be "unstable". Here are some key points in favor of Superluminal Speed. 1. Theories and claimed "Laws" in phys... 30 May 2010 13:16
