SCI/TECH: Einstien was right: Dark matter confirmed.

It appears that Einstien hit the nail right on the head: a large portion of the universe is comprised of this strange "Dark Matter", a substance with the apparent quality of counteracting gravity on a large scale.

"Recent Hubble Space Telescope images of distant exploding stars add further confirmation to the permanence of a mysterious, repulsive force called dark energy that appears to dominate the universe."

Scientists, taking into account this new information, say the universe has at least thirty billion years left before the "Big Crunch", in which the universe's gravitic expansion would climax and reverse itself, culminating with the destruction of all existence in this dimension as all matter and energy would be compressed into a singularity, perhaps to burst forth again and begin its cycle of creation, expansion, reversal, and destruction anew.

Einstein is a quandry, repressed knowledge of his and other theories not correct or limited in scope. He is a product of his time and still merits a great deal of interest.

The dark matter is satan.

So they say the big crunch is inevitable, How did they come up with the 30 billion years left?

There is no chance humanity will last that long.

In fact, I doubt we'll last another thousand years at the rate we're going.

Either way, there's no way we're going to last forever. I'd say another 2000 - 4000 years would be long enough to kill the last of us and put the human race into extinction.

and as that last little particle comes slamming in that last little neutrino......BANG!! a new day of Brahma begins and the phantasmagorical starts its never ending quest of change.

Neo, please tell me you did not say the dark matter was satan. Sorry, but someone needs to take his meds.

nobody has proven it's not satan.
some industry needs to stop thinking it can 'cure' mental health(spiritual) problems with chemistry.

Makes you wonder how many Bang/Crunch cycles we've been through and how many intelligent speices have been born and died.
