Cool poster! Though I think dark energy (and possibly dark matter) will be seen by future generations like we see luminiferous ether or epicycles today.

Agreed, I think the same. We just don't know what that stuff is yet. It could be a bunch of different things we haven't discovered because we can't measure it yet. Who knows. Fun to think about.
