We offer evidence that the Trans Plankian hypothesis about Dark energy is incompatible with necessary and sufficient conditions for solving the cosmic ray problem along the lines presented by Magueijo et al. We can obtain conditions for a dispersion relationship congruent with the Trans Planckian hypothesis only if we cease trying to match cosmic ray data which is important in investigating Doubly Special Relativity. This leads us to conclude that the Trans Planckian hypothesis is inconsistent with respect to current astrophysical data when modeled by Doubly Special Relativity and needs to be seriously revised. Or the Doubly Special Relativity Hypothesis needs to be abandoned.
