In a matter of dark...

Ever had to get-up in the middle of the night? Since the landscape is familiar, there is no need to turn on the lights. Feeling too warm to wear socks or put on slippers, so bare-foot it is. It's pitch-black. You might need to reach out for a second to make sure you're not going to bash your head on the pillar of your canopy bed (if you have one) - or the door to the bedroom since it may have been left ajar.  As you work your way across the hallway floor, the carpeting suddenly feels uneven. House settling? Must be something under the carpeting that was never noticed before. Especially since I always walked around with slippers... whatever.

If the underlying wooden frame of the house is the structure of space-time which we do not see... and the dry-wall, carpeting, paint, etc. is the matter that "dresses up" our universe. Isn't it safe to say that the "wooden frame" of our universe can either "settle" or been "lived in" before? Who is to say that this is the 1st universe to exist in this area. Don't forget - if what we see is just one of various universes (multiverse), the other ones may be affecting us in ways we cannot see.

Although Dark Matter may still be elusive, to me Dark Energy feels like that uneven carpet. There is something (or lack thereof) "underneath" us that we can feel.

I entered a reply to this + plus magazine  article on Dark Matter a few years ago:

Scroll to the bottom for the "anonymous" reply from Fernando in Tarrytown., NY.. that's me.

I still believe what I wrote two years ago. Yes, it's just a theory - but something tells me that what we might be experiencing as "energy" may have once been matter. A lot of matter. Suns, stars, maybe even singularities that got wiped away when the prior universe collapsed. I know... they say our current universe may expand indefinitely. Ever think that maybe this time around, our neighboring universes are collapsing? Allowing for our expansion? Sorry - I digress... a whole other matter... :)

What do you think?
