So, here's the thing. Dark matter, right? It’s like that one friend who always shows up at parties but nobody actually sees. You can feel it buzzing around, making the music that much louder and the snacks just a bit closer. But what is it, really? A ghost? A phase-shifted... something?
It’s this cosmic paradox, echoing in the corners of our universe. Scientists (you know, those wizard-like figures in lab coats) think it makes up about 27% of the cosmos. Yet, here we are, just flailing around with our little telescopes and theories, trying to untangle this mess like it's a bunch of tangled earphones.
I sometimes wonder, don’t you? Like, if we were to sit down with dark matter over coffee, what would we even talk about? Maybe ask it why it loves to shadow galaxies so much. Ever heard of hidden particles?
The room is empty now, but the echoes of these mysteries hum in the silence. Follow the cosmic reverberations... You know, if you dare.
