I have heard you refer to this as dark energy

Did it occur to you that he might refer to dark energy when he means dark energy and dark matter when he means dark matter?

[Bored chemist]

. I like to consider reality not imaginary dark shadows like the boggy man.

Dark matter is real.
Did you not understand that?
Oh...

I have no clue

I have heard you refer to this as dark energy in other threads have you changed your opinion.

As Bored chemist alluded to, dark energy and dark matter are completely different things.  What is it you think I have changed my opinion about?

The problem is that I was referring to the universe that we can see and how hydrogen makes solids in stars some silly person starts on the dark stuff way off topic nothing to do with the elements in stars.

It's more a case of you changing the subject that has nothing to do with my post. Rather pedantic don't you think YES.

[Bored chemist]

Rather pedantic don't you think

Hardly "pedantic".
You were wrong about 80% of the universe.
Don't you think a correction was in order?

Pro tip; if you really think something is irrelevant, ignore it rather than (incorrectly) implying that the poster got it wrong.

[Just thinking]

Don't you think a correction was in order?

No, not all of the science grates believe in the dark stuff and I am one of them. So I have made my correction correctly based on my understanding.

You didn't understand, and you didn't correct anything.

However, it was sensible for someone to correct your error.
That's what science does.

The big problem with this mysterious dark energy/dark matter is it fills a void in the imagination of so many why the universe is expanding and it goes with no proof at all just like the asteroid belt all imagination all made up to explain something else. Therefore all that was explained to me is in the mind imagination.

Solid hydrogen does not occur in stars as I previously pointed out.

Please do not personally attack me or I will be forced to report you.

The first line in your post states:  "The universe is made up of..."  Pointing out that you left out the major portion of the mass of the universe is clearly on topic.

This is not correct.  I don't know where you got this idea, but it is wrong.  The Big Bang Theory and the expanding universe was around decades before the discovery of dark matter and dark energy.

You know, if you would ask questions instead of making of the cuff pronouncements you could learn a lot on this site!

And I have pointed out to you that I disagree you disagree with me and I disagree with you and now you are starting to cry so I'm sorry next time if you say something that I disagree with I won't say anything to you to make you cry again but by all means, you can continue to tell me what you disagree with I'm a big boy and I promise not to cry. If you report me I just may cry a little but don't tell anyone it's very embarrassing.

You have no idea they worked out that the expanding universe should be slowing down and they discovered that it is not so they invented dark matter to explain the continuing rapid expansion so think again.

[Origin]

And I have pointed out to you that I disagree

You don't disagree with me; you disagree with astrophysicists, all of the major universities in the world and the scientific community in general.

now you are starting to cry so I'm sorry next time if you say something that I disagree with I won't say anything to you to make you cry

So again you are doing personal attacks/trolling and just trying to piss me off.  Why not trying a good faith argument instead.

And... its a swing and a miss.
You missed it by that much! 
Here is a hint, dark matter is not responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe, but your heading in the right direction.

One page back you called a newcomer a spammer do I need to go back to all your old posts where you have attacked people Please don't be a hypocrite then cry when it happens to you that is very immature your a big boy now.

Looks like I am probably right.

do I need to go back to all your old posts

Knock yourself out.

Could you get back on topic?  Again, if you ask questions, you could learn a lot.

OK but remember the old saying those that live in glass houses. Now maybe I was confused regarding dark matter dark energy but all the same, they have nothing to do with the formation of the elements the core of the sun is not understood and many believe that the heavy elements are created there not just plasma any way no hard feelings we can agree to disagree.

Grow up.

[Bored chemist]

They probably do.
Star formation is driven by gravity and most of the gravity in the universe is from dark matter.

Did you think about learning science?
