D'oh
watch out .. i'm asking about the 'theoretical mass' scientists added to explain galaxy-rotation and NOT - repeat NOT - the normal cold matter we cannot see.
So what's the prediction of this ?
ammount growing, shrinking, stable or yet not examined ?

Assuming the general theory of relativity is correct, what is the total mass energy percentage of "dark energy" in the universe? what about "dark matter"?

I have this idea, that if we take just several hundred hydrogen bombs, each with a 100 megaton output, and detonate them all at the same time at one location, we could first of all knock the earth off its orbit. if we carefully pick the right location and time of day and time of year, we could send earth flying near other planets or moons. the gravity of the earth would shift the other planets off their orbits as well. to take care of venus and mercury, we could wait till they are both relatively close to the earth, then with the use of nuclear devices we could propel the moon to get near them both and intercept their orbits, attempting to lead them off their paths as well(they are both small planets), preferably towards the sun. the only hard part would be jupiter, since it would take so much gravity to get that big guy to move its a$$. the least we could accomplish is send the moon flying towards venus in a way that both would fly to the sun, preferably hitting mercury on the way...

I read somewhere that NASA has never gone to moon and this they have done to get extra funding from the federal government for research. I have no confirmation of this would like to know is there is somebody knowing about this issue. there are numerous questions seen to be raised by many seeing the video of neel armstrong reagrding the video, flag flying and photos. so are there any specific and true information some one can give.

push all logic to the side for a moment and bare with me. say you are in outer space (it doesn't matter if you have a space suit on or not) and you begin to travel directly away from the earth at more than 186,282.397 miles per second (the speed of light). so this would mean that you would be traveling faster than the speed of light, and that light itself would be lagging behind you. so now this is my theory that I was wondering if it were true (I thought it up in a dream and wasn't sure) if you were to stop and turn around at this incredible speed, would you see yourself seconds coming towards yourself? would this be time travel? let me know someone.

The Bible says that God is omnipresent meaning God is everywhere at one time. Could dark matter be God? I mean sense it is invisible and nobody can identify it?
