While watching the Science Channel TV show entitled, “Most of Our Universe is Missing“, I learned the following helpful model which explains how the composition of the Universe breaks down.
5% is composed of atoms
21% is composed of “dark matter”, which no one can prove exists
and the remaining 75% is composed of “dark energy”, which no one actually understands
Now this is the kind of math that I can totally get behind, math which basically says “Um, yeah, we don’t actually know so…let’s just go with ‘magic’.”
So, thanks so much, World’s Top Cosmologists, but could I just make one, tiny suggestion? The next time you need to come up with a model which basically rests upon The Presumption Of Magical Particles, hows about you just come to me first? I’m way less expensive than launching satellites into space and can come up with just as magical a solution, and then with all that money we’ve just saved we can apply ourselves to some important issues here on earth. Such as convincing the CW not to cancel Veronica Mars before we learn whether or not Logan and Veronica can ever work out all their problems and become the happy, stable, staying-together-forever kind of couple that we are looking for in our television viewing. (And yes, I AM bitter!!)
Just a thought.
Funny!
I love when our leading scientist don’t know what they are talking about…for some reason that gives me hope:) Magic is as good of an explaination as anything else…why not?!
…and, WHAT????? The CW is canceling Veronica Mars?
…and, WHAT????? The CW is canceling Veronica Mars?
Don’t. EVEN. Get. Me Started.
This is the perfect example of why individuals in disciplines so often use their own acronymns that nobody outside their community knows anything about. When brilliant people exert effort to translate their complex work into layman’s terms, it doesn’t always seem flattering about what they do. Now, here’s another reason why people appreciate mysteries. Hate to burst your bubble her, but…
