We may already have, though we won’t know for some time. Look, the truth is that we are using models and projections based upon the best available data, which we frequently update. For instance, scientists just declared that the Andromeda Galaxy is only 25% as large as we thought. They were that wrong, on an entire…

It’s much more likely that existing stars are being perturbed from their orbits and flung into black holes, rather than new stars being formed near Galaxy centers, as the article suggests. A massive area around galaxy centers are dead zones, much too hot for gas to collapse into stars.

Where’s the dark matter, Lebowski?

The series fails to differentiate itself, and that failure is really part of the concept design. These movies are made for the fans. They are also made to take in truckloads of cash, but mainly it’s about the fans and maintaining the immediate marketability of the franchise.

Science routinely makes strong claims on matters it Really knows jack squat about.

Theoretical primordial black holes were all but ruled out minutes after they were conceptualized. The only reason people still speculate about them is that physicists are on a massive snipe hunt for dark matter, in lieu of admitting their equations are wrong.

Unfortunately, someone beat them to it. The last has already been ransacked.

Alternately, you can put three chickies into two baskees..

“Space... FINAL Frontier?!!” The Doctor scoffed.

A book of matches, which naturally contains no words, and recently used to set the other books ablaze.

Ever hear of a congenial bloodthirsty conqueror?

Better than waiting for Sonic the Hedgehog to rescue you. I hate 2D scrolling games!

My apology, if I somehow missed where you were LEADing.

Step one: Pretend to be diligently writing, while waiting for an opportune moment to stab the torturer with a pencil, ala Alexander’s solution to the Gordian Knot.

“It’s easy to get confused about proper grammar because there ARE so many different rules.”

Here, here! I do remain optimistic that, given an infinite amount of time, humanity could develop something functional to colonize our galazy, perhaps a Tipler Cylinder or the like. But the realist in me thinks we will wipe ourselves out before that ever happens.

Unless in conflict with the hound rule.
