the mention of dark matter made me wonder what it is there for---did anyone
read a story by sf writer Stephen Baxter about some
critturs who lived in the dark stuff or were made of it or something?
And then I started thinking about our DNA--it is true that about 95% of it
it of unknown function?
And now I remember hyperspace theories and superstrings and all the
alternate/parallel universe stuff---which according to the book by Prof
Michio Kako (apols for spelling) probably exists but the energy required to
enter one of those other universes has been calculated to be colossal, way
beyond us.
So are we living in a tiny subset of reality? What is going on in all that
redundant DNA?
Any thoughts, anyone?
