Dark energy is the force believed to drive the expansion of the universe. The distance between galaxies continues to grow and the doesn’t seem to be a good explanation for it yet. It’s the “X” variable acting as a placeholder until that’s answered. Or at least that is my understanding.

After reading the wikipedia article, that basic understanding of it might be correct, but I’m not an astrophysicist.

Isn’t the problem with Netflix that nobody can count on a second season no matter how well the first season does? So many good shows have been cancelled after the first season because Netflix doesn’t collect data correctly. And it’s now a self-repeating cycle:

• everybody knows Netflix will cancel great shows
• people choose not get invested in shows
• shows don’t do as well as they could
• Netflix cancels the show
• rinse, repeat

I didn’t notice I was doing it too until an article popped up (Forbes wasn’t the first) and it clicked: I wait for at least 2 seasons and an announcement of a third before watching a Netflix series, otherwise it’s just a waste of time. Evidently, others do it too.

In astronomy, dark matter is an invisible and hypothetical form of matter that does not interact with light or other electromagnetic radiation. Dark matter is implied by gravitational effects that cannot be explained by general relativity unless more matter is present than can be observed.

wikipedia

Dark matter was posited, in part, because we couldn’t explain how galaxies don’t fling apart due to the rotational forces. Since we observed the effects, but couldn’t see nor detect the cause, we thought something should be there that doesn’t interact with light. However, these findings and that of Caltech show that there isn’t a need for a theoretical matter as normal matter at very low densities will do just fine.

So that’s dark matter explained, what about dark energy?

Glad to know Greece is focusing on the important things. The rest of their country is doing swimmingly 👌

Good

The moths approve of this

Lesser wierd peepol

They should be able to give birth no problem then.

Do you do it again though?

Once the water is poisoned, the air unbreathable, all movement surveilled, and the “others” banned, will the UK’s people vote for the Greens?

Exposing how centralised bluesky is, once again.

Buy second-hand?

Europe needs to get rid of US dependencies. If a war were to start, their army would be helpless after the US shuts it off remotely. The entire economy of the EU would can also just be turned off by presidential order.

Voting doesn’t change anything.

*doesn’t vote*

Things get worse.

Wow, it’s been 2 years already? Time flies! Cheers to the leavers

Asshole? No way!!

Walking while black is a criminal offence.

For a refugee from 1948 she’s looking quite crisp.
