    The universe is so big. It sucked up all the color.

    And to think that all the billions of galaxies we can see and detect is only 6% of the Universe. 29% is dark matter we can’t see, and 65% of the Universe is dark energy! (Stephen Hawking never told us how he figured out those figures though.)

    From the “viewpoint” (“perspective”) shown here, it looks kind of crowded (with stars and galaxies). From scientists usual perspective, there’s so much more space in space.

    Those swirls are galaxies (of which there are billions) which generally have hundreds of billions of stars each. And many of the stars are hundreds and thousands of times the diameter of the earth.

    It’s all a big simulation! Clock speed = 1/(Planck time). One pixel is one Plank length. And the simulation is a hack! There are bugs in the code yet! No garage collection software for unaccounted for dark matter/dark energy. Where are the comments in the code?

    Comment reminds me of the operation on the banks of the Potomac. Nobody will ever find that source code.

    And it has no comments. It’s so clearly written, anyone can understand it.

    Actually the code is pretty small. It’s contained within our DNA.

    In an online chat area, someone said the universe is a simulation, and we humans created dark energy and dark matter to explain what were really bugs in the source code. Someone suggested humans attempt to communicate with the beings running the simulation.

    “What if galaxies are the smallest objects those running the simulation are able to detect?”“Boy! You really know how to make me feel small and insigificant.”

    Due to the age of the universe, I think it has to be Spaghetti-code BASIC.

    It’s 3 lines of APL.
