"invisible" galaxy discovered

in-fucking-credible

"The universe has all sorts of secrets still to reveal to us, but this shows that we are beginning to understand how to look at it in the right way," said astronomer Jon Davies of Cardiff University in the UK. It's a really exciting discovery."

have you heard of string theory? we could be in another universe and we wouldn't even know it.

haha. yeah i think string theory is a little hokey at this point in time. i watched a show on it and the first thing they said was "none of this has been proven, and it probably never will be able to be proven or disproven by the nature of what it says." so yeah, it's interesting to think about but that's about as far as it can be taken right now.
but really, if we were in another universe, then we would be in that universe and not in this one. so i like to think that we're in the universe we're in whether or not it's the universe we think we're in.
