Dark Matter of Fact

Over the Hedge

According to Wikipedia:

“…dark matter is matter that is inferred to exist from gravitational effects on visible matter and background radiation, but is undetectable by emitted or scattered electromagnetic radiation. Its existence was hypothesized to account for discrepancies between measurements of…. …the entire universe made through.. …measurements based on the mass of visible “luminous” matter… From these figures, dark matter constitutes 80% of the matter in the universe, while ordinary matter makes up only 20%.”

So, dark matter is stellar stuff we can’t see, but know it’s there.  Like say…

Black duct tape.

…binding, wrapping, securing and sticking the Universe together since the Big Bang.

God may not play dice with the Universe, but who’s to say he wouldn’t patch up a leaky black hole with some cosmic duct tape in a pinch?

Certainly not me.
