The End Of World Is At Hand!

Is there such a thing as an intelligence-sucking vampire?

Democrats!

Democrats??? Aren't the Republicans touting living next to Russia as foreign policy experience? Sorry. Nothing matches the bizzarro universe of Republican politics.

I've seen some stuff on TV here too.... One scientist was saying they hoped to discover what and where is the "94% of matter that we don't know anything about". I don't know how they get to that 94% figure but that's fascinating...

They look at the universe and how it behaves. (speed, rotation of galaxies, etc.) Based on mathematical calculations, the universe needs 20 times more mass to behave as it does. Galaxies hold together even though they don't appear to contain enough mass. Hence the suggestion of "dark matter. The missing 94%.

 

Then there is the equally mysterious "dark energy". The universe is expanding from the Big Bang. Normally objects slow down after time, but the universe seemed to slow then speed up its expansion, and is still accelerating, which seems to defy all logic. So they dub whatever is accelerating the universal expansion as "dark energy."
