Interesting theory with some terrifying implications.

I would post the whole article but it looks like shit when I try to do it from my phone. Any super-mod care to hook up the freshness?

 

either way, check it out and let me know what you think.

“The universe might appear one way and be something else entirely…” seems likely since Dark (unknown) Matter and Energy make up 96% of the universe. Universally we’re all a minority since we’re made of the remaining 4% of the universal stuff.

So are we beautiful, unique snowflakes?

That’s so crazy to think about, maybe there are aliens on worlds of dark matter that are completely invisible to us, with their planets being warmed with some sort of dark sun. Why isn’t there any dark matter nearby us if there is so much, though?

Who says there’s not? This article says it may be on Earth.

So there could be entire empires of dark matter and we would never even know. That’s crazy. There could be Suns and planets of dark matter we don’t even notice. Black holes of dark matter.

Or completely unexpected, new forms never before observed. It may not behave like the matter we’re used to.

Weird how we unknowingly made the “unique snowflake” reference in two different forums around the same time….

Bout to peep the article…. im reminded how Hawking said that there is likely life on even close planets, just made of different physics. Like creatures made of gases. 

Despite all theories and mathematical equations, the only thing Im positive of is that there is life, intelligent and otherwise, outside of Earth. Some things just are. There is no way to convince me otherwise.
