 Experiments, what experiments???

 OK, please provide a reference to an 'experiment' setup to test
 Dark Matter and show us how it was detected in the lab!

 Then please provide a reference to an 'experiment' setup to test
 Dark Energy and show us how it was detected in the lab!

 Finally, please provide a reference to an 'experiment' setup to test
 virtual particles and show us how they were actuallydetected and
 measured in the lab!

 I'm sure everybody is interested in how the Hobbit is going to
 provide us with these...

 You might as well call virtual particles little blue faries... You
 ain't gonna' detect'em.

 This is a perfect example of your duplicity...
