I am not sure I like the "applies a 'creation tensor," which allows for negative masses to be continuously created" - fudges are a pain.

However I'm no cosmologist and we shall wait and see.

Thanks bud, link added - and yes, the "creation tensor" bit did make me wonder, particularly when the article goes on to mention Einstein's own "fudge"... but still, an interesting theory.
