Haven’t watched last 4.

I bet last show was all about dark matter. Else universe would have drifted apart much faster. Or something like that.

Did you watch the intro or read out online? There is no way you could guess it so correctly.

I swear I didn’t. Tyson had talked about dark matter a lot while going on promotional appearances. In all the shows I watched so far (didn’t watch last 4 yet).There was no mention of dark matter - maybe a passing mention.

I am reading Stephen Hawkins book abt origin of time 2nd ed. There he talks abt dark matter. I got my text in above post from what I remembered reading the book. He said in addition to dark matter there is another matter - I forget. I stuck with me.

So made a reasonable guess.

Saw may 4 show. Earth’s autobiography.

250 million yrs ago. Trees. Grow tall. Lignin undigested by bugs. Termites not yet evolved. So get buried as coal and or rock. So the tree don’t decay. CO2 decreases o2 increases. So insects humongous.

Led to cooling. Then volcanic eruption in Siberia thousands of yrs. Heated up coal deposits. Cow evokved. Warming.

Region miles.below.sea. no sunlight. Still life. Have mountains. One day can surface.

Continental drift. Species in Madagascar and India same. East American and north africa. South America and south africa.

Yes they say there is Dark Matter and Dark Energy! Both invisible and cannot be explained however they constitute a large portion of the Universe!

Makes one think if they really know what they are talking about, well may be they do since no one else does!

You have a point. They put forth their hypothesis based on scientifically backed assumptions. The peer review process doesn’t simply stop when their papers r accepted for publication. Other scientists constantly r at work. So the hypothesis gets its agni pariksha.
