So far this is just a hypothesis, with no empirical evidence to back it up. On the other hand the standard model is supported by lots of evidence. It says this pretty clearly at the bottom of the article.

It’s possible this guy is right but he has a long way to go to prove it. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, as Carl Sagan would say.

I think you’re conflating dark matter and dark energy, they are two different things. Dark Energy is what’s accelerating universal expansion. Dark Matter slows it down.

and I would actually classify them as “known unknowns” since they are holes in our understanding of physics that we’re aware of. A true unknown unknown wouldn’t be in scientific discussion at all or have even been given a name; it would be completely off our radar.

because 1) the figure in the headline is only the most extreme value they found. 2) the image generated by your GPU is only one perspective of the entire 3D environment. maybe in order to download the area you’re also downloading objects that don’t need to be displayed on your screen yet. And 3) cloud streaming videos are also heavily compressed.

because it takes more data to generate the image than the image itself, especially in highly detailed and dense areas.

never go full RFKjr.

not high capacity magazines though.

you are everything that’s wrong with the internet.

sports news, get off your high horse.

Since OP likes open world games, in the later Bethesda RPGs like Skyrim and Fallout 4 you can have companions. not the same level of interaction as Bioware-like parties, but it’s something.

also not really an open world game, but in Midnight Suns you’re a mystical hero in a party with some of the avengers, other marvel heroes, and even some villains. there’s a lot of personal interactions with all the members between missions.

Red ochre use has been happening for like 300k years, we just don’t have any examples of the art that survived.

i have a mastodon account but it’s completely useless for me.

the only thing i use twitter for is to follow updates and news from professional journalists and artists who are not on mastodon and likely will never be. if your job depends on twitter, switching to mastodon is not going to happen.

if i want to engage with random average people, i come here to lemmy.

hey now, war is supposed to be fun, not disturbing.

unless you keep the offline installers.

wait til you hear that stores charge you MORE for products than they purchase them for.

frugal tip: go to Costco with $25 gift card, leave Costco with $300 worth of Christmas decorations, steaks, whatever frozen foods they were sampling, a giant box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch because it was on sale, and vodka.

was it a genius idea if it was never needed in the first place?

that was my first thought as well, but it’s actually just an altered image. I believe the top image in the first link is natural color. they just look dark gray/black even next to the orange regolith.

according to NASA:

Figure A: In this enhanced-color version of the mosaic, the color bands of the image have been processed to improve visual contrast and accentuate color differences.

I believe the top image on that page is natural color.

If you look at nasa’s pages about this site (mount Washburn), the word “blue” never comes up. In fact they were more interested in a single white boulder that stood out to them. Another page for example.

give it more than 14 days.
