One theory is that dark matter is computonium, that is the end result of advanced intelligence converting local matter and energy into computing AIs.
To: Hadean
Lets send Rosie O’Donell to investigate this matter personally.

“It took more than a year to convince myself that the ring was real,”
What a job. I’d like to get paid to stare at something for a year. Then again, no thanks.

When you’re in space looking at the earth and moon, you only see “dark space” since, there is nothing there. Are we simply looking at the space between objects and getting the wrong inference?

Is that a ring of dark matter around Uranus?

Might as well be, the nearest hot galactic chicks are thousands of light years away, although if you visit my website you can virtually meet thousands of galactobabes
who just would love to meet YOU.
Etc.etc.etc

The more Jee and others tried to remove the ring by tweaking the data . . .Why would they want to do that, i.e. "remove the ring?" Is this an explicit admission of tweaking data to support preconceived notions?

Did they try cleaning the lens on the Hubble to be sure?

Are we simply looking at the space between objects and getting the wrong inference?The space between earth and moon doesn't distort their images or obscure them. Dark matter is detected by the fact that it distorts objects or bends the light from them in some way.

Look at all those galaxies, we are not alone. But if there is nothing more to learn of space travel, we are alone. At least effectively.

That is impressive stuff. I can’t wait for the James Webb telescope to really kick exploration up some notches.

How do we know what we look like from 5 billion light years away?

Well, it’s space that is bending light, indicating gravity, so I would say, “no.” There is certainly SOMETHING there.
