Dark Star on TV
Forums:
Currently watching a show on the Science Channel all about Dark Stars - early stars made of dark matter. They are probably the precursors to the early super massive black holes that have been discovered over the last decade or so.
Dark matter apparently had a lot to do with the formation of the galaxies and stars we see today.

Dark Star is a 1974 American
Dark Star is a 1974 American science fiction comedy film directed and produced by John Carpenter and co-written with Dan O'Bannon. It follows the crew of the deteriorating starship Dark Star, twenty years into their mission to destroy unstable planets that might threaten future colonization of other planets. Beginning as a University of Southern California student film produced from 1970 to 1972, it was gradually expanded to feature-length until it appeared at Filmex in 1974, and subsequently received a limited theatrical release in 1975. Its final budget is estimated at $60,000. While initially unsuccessful with audiences, it was relatively well received by critics, and continued to be shown in theaters as late as 1980. The home video revolution of the early 1980s helped the movie achieve "cult classic" status. Dark Star was Carpenter's feature directorial debut; he also scored the film.

Seeing as how the universe is comprised of 68% dark energy, 27% dark matter, and 5% normal matter, it's not surprising to hear dark matter had a large influence on the way things are today.

I watched a short doc this weekend called Connecting with Universal Consciousness in which "Unconditional Love" is considered the basis of the quantum field and, ultimately, the underlying fabric of all of existence. If i turn on the news, though... :(

I have a "theory" that as the solar system rotates around the Milky Way and bobs up and down as it does so, it encounters various sorts of galactic "clouds" along the way.
We currently seem to be bobbing through a thick cloud of fascism. Hopefully we will exit this miasma before we all disappear.

The universe will keep on
The universe will keep on trucking whether we're here or not. It did just fine for about 13.7 billion years minus around the 4-5 million before we got here.
I wonder at times though about whether the observer effect has much of an impact on the whole ball of wax.
