If you have flexible work times you can usually schedule your bike ride to avoid the rain. Rain radar helps tremendously. I am currently in the Netherlands and had to use rain protection clothes a maximum of 10 times in 2 years.

I have seen people ride a bike with an umbrella in their hands. For the less adventureous there are rain jackets and rain trousers.

They looked at the last projection and compared it to this one. Survey journalism can get annoying.

It is still a shift to the right from the current parliament. The green block will lose substantially and the social democrats as well. Only the left slightly gains some seats in the current projection.

Which is more of a problem with the expensive methods, that are used right now. With CRISPR there would be a market for other viable mutations, which are not patented.

Even more reason to legalize precise gene editing. It's cheaper than the other two methods, because you don't need years to create something usable. Cheaper means more companies can play around with it, creating more competition and probably better results, not just better resistance to the pesticide the same company sells.

CRISPR is actually much cheaper than the methods used now, so there could be more participants in the market.

I mean, it doesn't have to relate to a particle. Lambda is also associated with a property of space itself.

The point with the LHC is, that it is very hard to find something, that you are not actively looking for. You have to at least have a certain understanding of the decay channels of the proposed particle to be able to scan the data for it. It's the same problem they have for discovering dark matter particles.

Oh with mainstream science I meant the journalism, probably bad wording.

Yeah, but somehow mainstream science gaslit everyone into thinking, that the current model is definitely right, even though there are relevant observations, that are not explained by it. But I guess we just need a new even bigger particle accelerator and then we will definitely find dark matter particles!

It is not very reliable to use a component to build a model that has “no support from observations”.

But it has support from observations? It's an alternative explanation for the red shifts we observe from far away sources.

ΛCDM has also problems. For example that two different methods of calculating the Hubble constant do not agree, or that the James Webb telescope found galaxies, that are too old. The latter was the motivation for the paper and gives an explanation for it, contrary to current models.

Yeah, it is not generally a good idea to just throw in more components, like here a scalar.

Well, guess what the Λ in ΛCDM is? They just put it in there to be able to fit the theory to the observation. And it's absurd to say, that they would've found that in the LHC, when they also did not find dark matter particles, even though they are actively looking for those.

Does it still explain galaxy rotations? What about other cosmological data, like equation of state parameter and such?

They are aware of this and mention it already in the abstract:

It remains to be seen if the new model is consistent with the CMB power spectrum, the Big Bang nucleosynthesis of light elements, and other critical observations.

It's quite common for research groups to do this, because their work is quite complex and takes time. They proved that their approach might have some merit and now other groups can help them going forward with it.
