Dark Energy May Not Exist At All

I realise that mate, but sometimes people will get offended no matter what.

It's just a friendly discussion :)

yeah we all like discussion...:)
as long as its in the chill out room (when its not Win 7 discussion and deemed non-offensive...

If it's deemed offensive, then I would question why does someone feel offended?

exactly....:)

So, back on topic - Does Dark Matter exist? No. It's because space is really just fairy floss

it does exist

No, I completely understand. This is a great thread, replete with most participants expressing their enjoyment of what folly our knowledge really is.

The reference to Flatland was misunderstood, yet nonetheless, cogent. How that led us to Darwin's genatalia - well, that is moot. The offended party has abandoned the exploration.

There is a wonderfully revealing meta-discussion occurring here. It is not unlike Aero. If a member likes it, let them use it. If they do not...

Then it is settled...no more carrying on about it. As SmartEyeBall said lets get back on the topic at hand

Speaking of that a college buddy of mine who is a little weird is an avid space researcher. He mentioned to me that a while back scientists in Asia(can't remember but I think it was there) were trying to make somewhat of an artificial black hole or at least that is how I understood it. I don't know about you but that scares the hell out of me

Antman said:

Yes. They haven't been seen in a while.

As far as I know not much has came of it (or what has been told to the media...we know how well that goes)...I would like to know if the scientists were successful...unless their not around to tell their story anymore

Thanks Antman...looks like some progress there

People tend to have a misunderstanding of black holes. Besides the energy we receive from the sun, if you were to turn it into a black hole, nothing would change. Earth and the likes will not suddenly get sucked into the black hole. They will go on as usual.

Based upon Antman's posted articles than that is not true. It might not happen ATM but eventually the masses of the sun and those of the Solar System would collapse onto itself

Let us not be so solarcentric. You must remember our neighborhood. This region of God's creation likely has a much more gruesome fate.




solarcentric - I miss petrossa.

you can talk to him on the Chrome Forums...I believe he still has an account there (I might be wrong)

BTW I want to go ahead and congrat you ahead of time Antman...Gold Member is coming up!
