MUSTA POIS / BLACK OFF II – Saija Kivikangas

I heard a particularly interesting statement: “If all dark matter were removed from the universe, the remaining mass would be the size of a sugar cube.” I can’t get that sentence out of my mind.

Matter is called dark because its particles cannot be seen.

Dark matter seems to be abundant in galaxies and galaxy clusters, as the gravity of visible matter alone cannot explain the rotation speeds of galaxies. (Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time)

Real, but invisible.

…

The mind, too, is real but invisible. There is no dark matter in the mind, but the mind directs human behavior just as dark matter guides galaxies with its gravity. A work of art, at its best, serves as a gap into that other reality.
