The Midnight Express? Coast to Coast AM?

Giorgio Moroder - The Chase is the name of the song.

Haha, and fundamentalist christians think the earth is a few thousand years old.

One of my roommates tried to convince me of that the other day :loco: I asked him, 'how to fossils exist then?' he didn't have an answer

Gap Theory, baby, Gap theory. What about Lilith, and any/all the apocryphal portions of the bible the silly Catholic Pope took out because he thought it was too "strange" for the mainstream. This is not a topic I should get into, even the Pyramid Timeline, and the Dogstar Religion. There is a lot going on in that book that people don't see because of translation and assumption.

Thats intense man.

I'm going to read up on some astronomy shit lol.

So let me get this straight.. Dark matter is Matter that exists but we're not able to see it or detect it. It just has an effect on matter we can see?

[mrsleeve]

^^^^^^
thats the idea.

Yup, pretty much. It has a gravitational effect. In essence, a large group of dark matter has so much gravitational force that it bends light. This is actually how scientists proved it existed. Even crazier is that this "gravitational lensing" magnifies the area of universe around it, letting us see even further into the past. Oh, and dark energy/matter combined compose 95% of the universe.

That program on dark matter/energy was cool.

It sucks that our universe is eventually doomed, based the observation that as the galaxies spread out further they gain velocity (meaning it gonna be quite cold out there someday):(

[mrsleeve]

^^^^^^

when all the stars go out. Its really cold out there now between galaxies an stars now!

been reading again, dug out my old astronomy book. its a bit out dated but its a good refresher
