Seeing this article in The Economist made me think of King Mob's statement in (I think) Vol. 2 that the Christian fish symbol is really a model of the universe where we inhabit the 'reality' created by the overlap of two bigger circles/realities.
The Economist article basically says the universe is 70 percent "a mysterious substance that has been dubbed dark energy," 25 percent "dark matter, a different but equally invisible stuff," and just five percent is occupied by the "ordinary atoms" that compose reality as we know it. It goes on to say that relatively recently, over the last few billion years, the dark energy has caused the expansion of the universe to accelerate.
So, where would the Outer Church be? In the dark matter? Since we experience a reality where matter and energy are variations of the same thing, could dark matter be just matter, while dark energy is just energy. Then, for argument's sake, for dark matter to become energy it would have to move through our reality (I realize 'our reality' isn't the best phrase for it, but I can't think of a simple term for the matter/energy we're made of). I know that when dark matter and normal matter come in contact, they supposedly destroy each other, releasing a lot of energy ('normal' matter seems like a bad phrase too, since it's only five percent of the universe). Does that mean the Invisible College is located on the edge between our atoms and the dark energy? Is it a good sign that the dark energy is increasing in power/quantity and accelerating the expansion of the unverse, or do I have things backwards? |
