This could explain, it seems to me, the clintons, and their otherworldly appeal. Could they be mirror-people? How 'bout algore? Carville? Sure would 'splain a lot.

Mirror matter is not anti-matter, it is altogether weirder. It is somehow a "reflection" of normal matter, a sort of parallel series of particles required to restore the balance of the Universe.

This explains San Francisco and the new minority leader in the House.

Could a brush with a pea-sized chunk of 'mirror matter' be what boogered up Michael Jackson's nose?

Dr. Foot, eh? Looks a bit like my yearbook photo (from 1977).

Sub-atomic particles appearing and dis-appearing? Seems that having answers on these small things could yield big results.

[AndrewC]

It's dark and can only be detected through its gravity.

It can't reflect or emit electromagnetic energy. What is it, are photons that poor of a shot that they all miss 50% of the matter in the universe?

[Mark]

What a co-inky-dink. I was just discussing this matter with Maxine Waters the other day.

Of course, the biggest implication of this theory for Dr. Foot is that the mirror matter version of him is a total stud.

If you get any on you, it is very hard to wash it off.

[Fiddlstix]

Very interesting

< "low-velocity fireballs seen in Spain in 1994 and in Jordan in 2001."

I thought Mirror Matter only interacts with matter in our universe through gravity... why then would Mirror Matter be the conventional explanation for a fireball rather then say a meteorite?

[Blood of Tyrants]

A poc mark in an asteroid. Yep, that proves it alright.

[F.J. Mitchell]

"Mirror Matter?"

I'll believe it when I see it.

On the other hand........let me reflect on that.

Boogered up? Yer BAD...

One thing seems apparent. "Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures".

So there is a way to escape from the Dark Zone. I worship the shadow.
