The universe is leaking!

As if the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy weren't vexing enough, another baffling cosmic puzzle has been discovered.

Patches of matter in the universe seem to be moving at very high speeds and in a uniform direction that can't be explained by any of the known gravitational forces in the observable universe. Astronomers are calling the phenomenon "dark flow."

The stuff that's pulling this matter must be outside the observable universe, researchers conclude.

quick someone call a plumber

Surely that would be "matter" appearing, not going away.

I meant he's tugging stuff out of the universe. What did you think I meant?

Is this anything to do with the Hadrons?

Grrrrr · 26 Sep 2008 at 20:25

A hadron is a collection of 3 quarks, typically a proton or neutron. This is more to do with dark matter/energy which no one really understands at all.

Not that your question was serious anyway

dont worry chaps, I will use my interstellar space delorian to travel back in time and enforce the seal using my secret super strengh putty called kenty a special combination of liquid nails and pritstick.
