I wasn't saying that the existence of dark matter didn't qualify as a theory. My comment was directed to Jack Black, who posted:
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
It was created 6000 years ago.

Cool. Bump for later reading on God blowing some smoke rings.

“multi, human-generational space team that will perpetuate itself in space”
And force the unborn people to live a life that they didn’t choose, for which they are not at all adapted, which is totally unlike life on Earth, and which they can not leave.
It is totally unreasonable to expect that the people born many years in the future in a metal tube out in space would not go completely mad, because they will never enjoy the sunrise, birds twittering, children playing on the lawn, taking a dog for a walk, climbing a mountain, and the millions of things that we enjoy on this Earth.
Forcing them to live and die in a metal tube is complete arrogant cruelty.
In other words, it’s a dumb idea.

Do giant wild random guesses technically qualify as a “theory?”Only if you have a Ph.D. and can get your ranting published in a journal. Then (especially in cosmology) they do.
To: Tulsa Ramjet
Your ideas have been explored in dozens, if not hundreds, of science fiction books. You can’t sue people for appropriation of ideas, particularly very general ones that are put out in places like discussion forums. Duh!

From 5 billion light years away, we look like a gleam in God's eye.Agreed.

Wow, a Ph.D and a journal? That sure makes it more than just a wild freakin' sci-fi movie guess that dark matter is the result of advanced intelligence producing "computonium" for computing AIs ("computonium" was described in one website as "the maximally efficient arrangement of matter in this universe for performing computation").
I also wonder how many Ph.D journal-publishing global-warming scientists there are.

The theory is given a complete going over in this book (which I've made a link to the author's web site for those who are interested. :

BTW: I was not saying that the rules for making a theory make sense, just what I perceive them to be.

I’m still alive, just been out of pocket for a good while.

It was done using the “Dark Matter” tool in photoshop.

They would only know what they would know. they would find joys in intersellar space. We live on a cosmic satellite anyway. Its just big and blue. Besides, we would let them take a PlayStation 3 to kill time.
