OMG!!!!!!!! Oh my fucking god!!!!!!!!!! A dark matter ASTEROID?!?!?!!?!!!! A DARK MATTER ASTEROID?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's horrifically bad science!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A fucking dark matter asteroid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got a D in PHY 101 but I goddamn know there's no possible way dark matter could form an asteroid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*brain caves in*
For those of you who don't know, the rough of it is that space is now known to in fact not be an empty vacuum. Every cubic meter of space - all space, everywhere that we know of - is filled with dark matter. Dark matter was discovered to be the answer to why a distant galaxy that should have been flying apart was remaining in place (much like how we discovered Pluto was not the outermost planet in our solar system - although now there's a debate over Pluto's classification as a planet at all). Currently there is a competition among physics researchers to discover the actual particles themselves, and there are several candidates. But no, dark matter would NEVER be visible to the naked eye, and it certainly wouldn't fucking coalesce into a goddamn asteroid, and the entire reason it's called DARK matter is because it emits no energy, so it certainly wouldn't be goddamn attracting a spatial anomoly that likes EM radiation. Dark matter, from what I remember, only emits gravitational energies, but it's so fucking small that the only way they're able to detect it is by setting up various traps to get it to hopefully interact with other particles, causing *those* particles to react.
Fucking retards. They couldn't have used something else remotely plausible, or something new? They make up new shit all the time, and I'm cool with that. Like I have any ideas about neurogenic or isomorphic. Shit.
Fucking A. Almost turned off the episode when I first heard that goddamn term. But it was a good episode. It still hurt me deep down inside. A little bit of my inner child died today. *lays a white lily on the grave*
