You don’t need relativity to explain this, because it’s electromagnetic in nature.

re> Veins. And galaxies are corpuscles.

Yepper we live on an electron in an atom on some giants frying pan.

These are the largest objects we’ve ever seen spinning, and that means that angular momentum can take place on a massive scale. One of the mysteries in cosmology is how that angular momentum is generated on such a massive scale since there was no primordial rotation in the early Universe.

When your fundamental assumptions are wrong... Everything else goes downhill from there. Same for "dark" matter and energy. These are theoretical constructs used to patch holes in the math.

OK, so that means that our whole solar system could be like one tiny atom in the fingernail of some other giant being... That means that one tiny atom in my fingernail could be...

They look like Birkeland Currents, from the less popular electric universe model.

“Brain neurons.”

My first thought.

When I really want to scare myself, I imagine some rogue planet that got flung out of a system and is in the middle of one of the “voids,” absent any parent star. How dark and hopeless that would be (not to mention extremely cold.)

I had a galactic filament once.

So, the bartender actually knew how to mix one of those?

What’s sad is the guy telling the “mamma” joke is a bird colonel in the USAF.

We men never fully grow up.

No.

Well, I should say not that I'm aware of, not knowing everything he predicted. Every time I think I've heard of all the predictions he made, I've been wrong!

“Yes, but more to the point, we know in physics exactly what kind of filaments form helical pairs that rotate around each other, and we can duplicate the same behavior in the lab that they are observing in these galactic filaments. “

Sounds like DNA strands. Eventually physicists will find galactic double helices.

That’s actually heartening - means he’s not completely woke insane.

They are blood vessels that belong to a huge creature and we’re floating around inside.
