"That dark matter and energy are increased by an amount proportional to baryons, so that we are stuck with the current intractable cosmology difficulties, alas. Not going to get out of it THAT easy!"

But that raises a produces a really nasty problem.

If we have 10x the mass of matter, that would mean the gravity would (given current theory) certainly cause universal deceleration and gravitational collapse producing the inevitable big crunchie. However that motion is not what is being observed by cosmologists - we think it's an accelerating system. Thus this new set of observations, if corroborated, may add a super-size can of worms to current theory ...
