ljbrs,
I was replying to nebularain. I am quite certain that you know the difference between theory and hypothesis.

Of course! It must have been quite late and my brain was turning to mush. My presbyopia does not help (3 sets of reading glasses for 3 types of situation - computer at work, computer at home, regular reading). I cannot read easily with bifocals. Using them at a computer is beyond the pale!
Excuses, excuses!
Incidentally, SCIENCE for 24 May 2002 was in my mailbox tonight! It is loaded with all kinds of articles about the research discussed in this thread. The Research Article has been repeated for readers who do not have a subscription (which includes online viewing). There go my rest periods, including sleep, perhaps!
I will take it all in gradually. It will be there online and in the paper form for a long time. It is summertime and getting out to my astronomy club's observatory is of first importance. Cosmology can wait. Perhaps by the time I get to the point where I begin to understand it, there may be other new theories to take its place.
Sorry about being jumpy about *a theory* references to science. I should have known that you, most particularly, knew when something was being quoted in a post. Perhaps it is a female trait I should watch more closely to keep it from rearing its stupid head.
Now to put my DUNCE CAP back on properly. I think that it is rather attractive...
