Okay, but what about dark matter? Dark energy is accounted for in the cosmological constant, but the matter of dark matter still lies open.
There’s emerging work in Milgrom gravity dynamics that suggests that gravity at low accelerations behaves differently than “conventional” gravity. One possible result of this would be to eliminate the need for dark matter to explain the Standard Model.
