As if the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy weren't vexing enough, another baffling cosmic puzzle has been discovered.
Patches of matter in the universe seem to be moving at very high speeds and in a uniform direction that can't be explained by any of the known gravitational forces in the observable universe. Astronomers are calling the phenomenon "dark flow."
The stuff that's pulling this matter must be outside the observable universe, researchers conclude.

As a tinkerer myself, I often use materials from a previous project when working on my next project. I imagine God does the same.

Reminds me of this....
Isa 34:4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling [fig] from the fig tree.
Rev 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

A vast wormhole outside of visual range? The epicenter of the Big Crunch forming? The graviational power of Barack Hussein and the democrat party's narcissistic, hyper-arrogance?

Hundreds of distant clusters (white) seem to be moving toward one patch of sky (purple ellipse).

Interesting that the question included Sarah Palin and Joe Biden on the respective tickets. I wonder if including Sarah gives McCain a boost compared to polls that only include the top of the ticket.
