Mirror, Mirror 
on the wall, 
Who has the flakiest theory 
of them all?

Isn't it just a bit arrogant to start explaining the nature of something that does not exist (dark matter) by introducing something else that does not exist (mirror matter)? It is, but that has never stopped junk science before.

"mirror matter" symmetry ping....

Any thoughts on whether or not the Aussie scientists are on to something, or have they been smoking the wrong variety of mushroom?

Over the last year or so, my 401k seems to be gradually converting to mirror money...

"there's an Algore joke in there begging to be let out."

Algore is the mirror president....every morning he looks in the mirror and says "Good morning Mr. President. I am the president; I am; I am."

I haven't encountered this idea before, outside of some very strange science fiction. If it's a duplicate of "regular" matter, it's not nearly enough "dark matter" to bring gravitational closure the universe. I donno. I'll wait for Physicist to wade in.

LOL!

Can we get the Evil Kirk to make him disappear?

"In a way, the Universe is left-handed."

Now there's a sinister statement if I ever heard one!

Unfortunately, Running Sores appears to be secure.

Madame Hillary seems to be made of "mirror, mirror, on the wall" matter, so who knows?

The quote snippet over my post to you is a quantum tunneling event from another thread. Gumlegs is to blame for this somehow.

So, the Cheshire cat is actually going somewhere when he disappears?

Yes he's falling into a black cat hole.
