Here I think just about everybody knows our current 'Universe' theories are wrong at some important level of detail and need corrections based on what we find from observation and experiment.
I'd not say that our current theories are wrong, but rather incomplete ... I feel we're missing something important, and the difference between what's to come will probably be as big as the difference between Newton and Einstein physics. And it's quite likely right in front of us at this moment, manifesting itself as what we call dark matter and energy ... Of course, whatever comes next must not contradict what's already known. We'll just have to wait and see.

I don't think this is like 'Flat Earth' that works at some very small scale. It's more like having a theory that the earth is cheese in how wrong the numbers are without corrections for 'dark' constant factors. Dark Energy and Dark Matter make up 95% of all the stuff in the universe with no direct evidence for them and we have no idea what they consist of.

I find that both frustrating and exciting at the same time ... I only fear that the mystery won't be solved during my time on this earth.

According the latest Gallup:
About a third of people worldwide were stressed, worried and in pain last year, and more than half of Americans feel pressure and strain.
That's according to the 2019 Global Emotions Report, Gallup's annual snapshot of the world's emotional state.

Chad, a North African country beset by violence, was the most negative country in the world last year, the report found, and Paraguay and Panama led a host of Latin American countries atop the list of most positive countries.

The USA?
Well, they are more stressed than almost anybody.

Americans were more stressed than residents of Chad, the world's saddest and most pain-stricken population.
Fifty-one percent of Chadians report stress last year, along with 54% reporting sadness.
Two-thirds there felt worried, and 66% felt physical pain.

Max.

Yup ... and Mexico is on the top 5 of the "highest positive experiences" ... if that's true, then why have I been feeling so stressed lately? o_O
