1. Recently observations have been made that the universe if
flat.
Since curvature related to total density this implies that the
universe
has the critical density needed to make it flat.
2. This density cannot be accounted for by present observation of
matter and radiation densities. Even if the dark matter that is
needed
to make small-scale structure to work is included, the density is
still
not enough. Dark Energy is postulated to solve this problem.
3. Some other recent data indicates that the universe is
acceleration,
not decelerating as it should after the Big Bang.
Why do you think the universe should be decelerating? The
assumption
you
need to look at is called the strong energy condition and has been
called
into question.

There is strong evidence coming from the observation of distant Type
Ia
Supernova, by two different teams of astronomers, indicating that the
cosmic
expansion is not slowing down, but is speeding up.This observation
also
strongly supports the in?ationary theory: 1. It con?rms the
theoretical
conclusion that gravity can act
repulsively. 2. Acceleration equires "dark energy " permeating
space,the
amount needed is just right ( + - about 10%)to bring the total mass
density
up to
the critical density predicted by in?ation.(The makeup is about
1%visible
matter,30%dark matter,and 70%"dark energy ".)

To provide a reference for the issues involved I found the following
link -
http://www.physicstoday.org/vol-56/iss-4/p10.html. Nothing in that
link
proposes anything that is an actual problem. Repulsive gravity comes
from
the negative pressure of exotic matter that violates the strong
energy
condition. No physical principles are violated and no unreasolveable
'problems' (as suggested by the title of the thread) have infiltrated
physics.
Except that cosmic radiation has considerably more measured energy than
predicted by the Standard Model, with all its auxiliary hypotheses in
place or not.

Since you don't even understand the very basics of special
relativity, you better keep your snout about the standard
model and cosmology - don't you think, Undeniable Pig?
