Hi Dien,

You're familiar with "Dark Matter", right?

Anyway, I think it was Stubbs, one of the first people, if not the first, who decided to look for Dark Matter by trying to find MACHOs by way of the light brightness change due to gravitational deflection as the MACHO passed between the earth and the light source.

And at the time he decided to go looking the majority of his peers told him he was nuts, wouldn't get funding, and he wouldn't get a job by going after something so unknown.

It'd be a shame if that's how most look at it, wouldn't it? That trying to discover new thing wouldn't give you a certain job.

But in a sense it can be a good thing. For only the truly inquisitive will go after that mysterious unknown and unproven theory. Meaning, they'll be more passionate about it and less likely to just give up when they haven't figured it out after two minutes.

Quantum Mechanics.

I heard a guy refer to Quantum Mechanics like so...

If you asked 1000 philosophers to spend 1000 years to come up with the most wayout thing they could think of, they would NOT come up with anything as bizar as Quantum Mechanics.

Galaxies and Dark Matter.

It makes me wonder, if galaxies are surrounded by a bubble of dark matter, is there actually anything in space between galaxies? Is each galaxy really like a glass house? Like light can go through the glass (and nutrinos and radio waves etc.) but nothing else, not matter.

And if each galaxy is self-contained, could each galaxy have undergone it's own little bang within it's dark matter bubble?

So the Big Bang would really have been something that caused a series of little bangs in a chain reaction nuclear explosion type of way. Know what I mean?

Has this been theorised do you know? Of course it all falls down if there is plenty of large solid matter between galaxies.

Then again, according to Douglas Adams, the universe was created when the Great Green Arkleseizure sneezed it into existence and will all end with the coming of the Great White Handkerchief.
