Mack, consider that we always believed -- even after Einstein's shocks -- that space was a normal field and matter a normal occupant of it. Gravity was the constant function of mass, one blue planet's worth sufficient to induce acceleration at 9.6 meters per second per second. We now find that our model of the universe was woefully naive and "normal" matter an extreme minority and gravity inverted in the bulk of space. For my money that is a far reaching change in the basic model. I guess it is all relative, huh?
