How can physicists explain dark energy? I claim that M-theory in some form is correct and that there are three and only three possibilities:
(1) There exist dark energy stars in some form and this implies that M-theory needs to be enormously modified in some totally unknown fashion.
(2) M-theory needs the addition of a simple hypothesis that all physicists can immediately understand and this will imply the detectable existence of weird forces from alternate universes. (In my opinion the only hope is to replace the -1/2 in Einstein’s field equations by another constant which is very nearly -1/2. I also think that Wolfram’s automaton must underlie quantum field theory.)
(3) M-theory as now conceived by Seiberg-Witten-Maldacena is fundamentally correct and merely needs the discovery of some curling-up mechanism that involves some esoteric technical hypothesis that only M-theorists will be able to understand.
********
Possibility (1) is totally impossible because Chapline's approach cannot explain the space roar.
*********
Possibility (3) is totally impossible because Witten's approach can explain neither the space roar nor the existence of dark energy. (Note added March 11, 2011 CE: I now think that Witten's approach can explain both the space roar and dark energy.)
**********
The mathematics of M-theory indicates it is the only way to mathematically unify gravitation and quantum field theory. Because possibilities (1) and (3) are ruled out by the space roar, modified M-theory is the tool for the Nambu transfer machine. Because nature must somehow unify gravitation and quantum field theory, Wolfram's automaton must underlie the physical interpretation. The dramatic prediction that f(div) theory is the explanation of dark matter is the only plausible way to explain dark matter.
I say that the empirical development will definitely prove that PARADIGM-BREAKING PHOTONS ARE TO M-THEORY AS KEPLER’S LAWS ARE TO NEWTONIAN MECHANICS.
*********
I think that the space roar is the physical manifestation of the Wolframian updating parameter and that Wolfram's automaton is nature's way of implementing M-theory. I say that the space roar essentially proves that modified M-theory, the Fredkin delivery machine, and the Nambu transfer machine are the means of operation of nature's multiverse of alternate universes.

I claim that the space roar proves that my theory is the only plausible of way of unifying gravitation and quantum field theory.

I include here a copy of an earlier posting:
In the year 2002 CE, Stephen Wolfram published “A New Kind of Science” (NKS) and claimed that his ideas would revolutionize science and technology. Reviews of the book were, in general, somewhat negative. For example, consider the Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg’s review:
http://www.nybooks.com/articles/15762 .

From “Our whole universe may be governed by a single underlying simple program” in Wolfram’s “quick_takes”:
“… building on the discovery that even simple programs can yield highly complex behavior, “A New Kind of Science” shows that with appropriate kinds of rules, simple programs can give rise to behavior that reproduces a remarkable range of known features of our universe — leading to the bold assertion that there could be a simple short program that represents a truly fundamental model of the universe, and which if run for long enough would reproduce the behavior of our world in every detail.”

Within the past 5 years, NASA scientists with the PI (principal investigator) Alan Kogut discovered space roar:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_roar — for background see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_astronomy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic...round_radiation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_universe .

Recently, in support of NKS Chapter 9, I have put forward a bizarre theory of M-theory with alternate universes. Consider the following 3 hypotheses:
(1) The maximum physical wavelength is the Planck length multiplied by the Fredkin-Wolfram constant.
(2) M-theory describes the Wolframian automaton that underlies all of physics.
(3) During each Planck time interval, precisely one real photon exits our observable universe and enters an alternate universe, and, simultaneously, precisely one virtual photon enters our observable universe from some alternate universe.

What, if anything, is a plausible consequence of the 3 preceding hypotheses?
(A) The % of dark matter + the % of standard matter remains constant over spans of cosmological time. Let (20 + A) % denote this constant %.
(B) The % of dark energy remains constant over spans of cosmological time. Let (70 + B) % denote this constant %.
(C) The % of standard matter decreases over spans of cosmological time according to the formula: % of standard matter at time T = (20 + A) * (1 - (T/ (81.6 billion years)) %, where T is the age of the universe and T is less than 80 billion years.
(D) The % of dark matter increases over spans of cosmological time according to the formula: % of dark matter at time T = (20 + A) * (T/(81.6 billion years)) %, where T is the age of the universe and T is less than 80 billion years.

Precise astronomical data allows the approximate calculation of the constants A, B.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda-CDM_model
.0456 ± .0015 is the % of baryon density.
.228 ± .013 is the % of dark matter. By addition, we see that
.2736 ± .0145 is the supposedly constant % hypothesized. (That is, A = 7.36, where A + B = 10.)
Observe that 6 times (.0456 ± .0015) equals .2736 ± .009 — thus indicating to 2 decimal places of accuracy that the preceding Hypotheses (1), (2), (3) together with the f(div) theory and the FWEU timing theory explain space roar. The % of dark matter was much lower in the very early universe so naturally there was a greatly increased % of electromagnetic noise — in fact about 6 times as much noise. However, much more might be true. Consider the following:
HYPOTHESIS. For cosmological radio emissions in the centimeter range, if T represents the age in billions of years of the universe at the time of the radio emission and if T < 6.5 billion years, then space roar increases as T decreases according to the formula:
Space_roar(T) = (% of standard matter at time T)/(% of standard matter now) = (27.36 * (1 - (T/(81.6 billion years)))/(4.56).
If empirical observations confirm the preceding prediction, then shall there be overwhelming evidence that Wolfram is correct in his opinion of NKS?
**********
I now claim that NKS Chapter 9 is essentially proven correct along with the smoothing of the Nambu transfer machine for M-theory. The proof is that the space roar rules out every plausible M-theoretical approach except the finite, digitization of M-theory. Every Big Bang in the multiverse must recycle every 81.6 billion years according to hidden determinism.
**********
Quaestiones post scriptum:
If X is to M-theory as Kepler’s laws are to Newtonian mechanics, then what could X possibly be? Does X consist of paradigm-breaking new particles, paradigm-breaking photons, or paradigm-breaking gravitational waves? How could new particles or gravitational waves possibly explain dark energy?
