...Would anyone happen to know of any texts in the library dealing with the subject of dark energy or dark matter? As it relates to cosmology, I mean.

It, uh, appears I've forgotten a majority of what I knew about the subject. I've been trying to remember the hypothesized traits relating to the both of them for hours...all I keep returning to is ( Read more... )

mental state: beyond words, what do you mean this isn't awesome?, not a walking encyclopedia, socially awkward turtle is a go, then it all explodes, sometimes science is great and good an-

That's...quite a weighty subect matter.

I know there are general cosmology books, but I'm afraid I didn't check for dark matter specifically.

It's not something I paid much attention to before, honestly. I don't know why I'm thinking of it now, of all times.

But even general cosmology might help, thank you. At the very least it might jump start my memory?

We certainly have the time to study thungs like that here.

Some may have a section or two devoted to it.
No problem.

Yeah...we definitely have that.

I wonder if there would be anything mentioning the various definition of dark energy or matter throughout the different universes here...

Hm...or if any of the planets other than Earth have come up with that theory.

*Marco knows next to nothing about dark matter; like particle accelerators it was just something he knew of as 'real but sounds like science fiction' and that was about it. But he was interested in the differences and similarities between other dimensions...or whatever you wanted to call them.*

I don't know if there's a way of telling what world any of those books are from, though.

It may not be written in the books themselves, but if there's enough knowledge or similarities, it might be possible to infer which world it belongs to, or at least that two ideas come from the same world, even if we don't know what it is.

[That's interesting]

True, but it would probably take a lot of cross-referencing to pin anything down. I don't know if I have the patience for that yet.

Eventually you might just become bored enough.

*He chuckles a bit.*

I'm sure I will. Maybe I'll try it in a few months.

Yes, it's probably better not to exhaust the supply of potentially boredom-staving projects too soon.
