Ancestor Galaxies Nix Universe Models

Ancestor Galaxies Nix Universe Models

If the concepts of dark matter and dark energy have sounded like 21st century versions of Christiaan Huygens' luminiferous aether (speculative concoctions born of desperate ignorance), then you'll be pleased to know that every major model of the universe has just been invalidated.
 
Researchers at the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile (isn't there only one size of millimeter?) have discovered 39 massive star-producing dark galaxies that are not predicted or supported by major models of the universe. The 'dark' galaxies are so far away that their light is no longer in the visible range and not detectable by the Hubble Space Telescope.
