Michael Turner: "There are people, and they might even be right but I
don’t happen to agree with them, that see dark matter and dark energy
as cycles and epicycles and indications that we’re just completely off
track....On the other hand, for dark energy I think we’re really early
in the game. One of the paths that people are actively pursuing is
that there is no dark energy out there, that it is something wrong
with the gravity theory. This is pointing us to a modification of
Einstein and what is nice about that is that very few people think
that Einstein got the last word on gravity. This could be the clue to
go beyond Einstein. There might be some truth that the dark energy
might be an epicycle. Trying to ascribe it to a substance might turn
out to be wrong. It might actually be an indication that we’ve got the
wrong gravity theory."

This Michael Turner should get some education first. Idiocies like:

Michael Turner: "Physicist Albert A. Michelson not only showed that
the speed of light is frame independent, but he also introduced
interferometry to astronomy."

should no longer be taught. Michael Turner's future teaching may be as
follows:

"There might be some truth that the dark energy might be an epicycle.
Trying to ascribe it to a substance might turn out to be wrong. I
suspect all problems come from Einstein's 1905 false light postulate.
Physicist Albert A. Michelson showed, without knowing it, that the
speed of light is frame dependent in accordance with Newton's emission
theory of light. Then Pound and Rebka showed, without knowing it, that
in a gravitational field the speed of light is variable and obeys
Einstein's 1911 equation c'=c(1+V/c^2) given by Newton's emission
theory of light."
