Re: [microsound] beginning-less universe
what's wrong w/ dark energy?
i think it sounds like a 1970s miles davis album. i'm already
picturing the cover art: zulus in space suits and synthesizers
transgressing the event horizon.
on a more serious note, the whole concept of dark matter and dark
energy is totally beyond my feeble math skills, but from what i do
know about the history of physics, these concepts have always
reminded me of luminiferous aether, this debunked idea that there was
this mysterious medium that was invisible to all perception that
light had to travel through. basically aether was just dreamed up as
a solution to a problem, or rather as a way of describing or
explaining the physical behaviour of light. it took a radical new
approach w/ einstein's general theory of relativity to show that
there was in fact no need at all to have this mysterious aether
substance.
some part of me feels that dark matter and dark energy might go the
same way as aether did. sure the existence of dark energy and dark
matter help explain, or flll in the blanks, to some big questions
regarding the total amount of mass in the universe and its effect of
gravity and the formation of galaxies... but maybe it'll take another
einstein to tackle the problem from a totally different angle...

Ugly word for a beautyfull thing. "Dark Energy".....
Even scientists are spreading the bitter words!
But this dosn't say I like your idea. And i do like your idea.
