Wow, I just realized how long it's been since I've posted. My summer has been kind of insane, between work, family, and horses. I'm back at school now, and hopefully can devote more time to the blog.
Recently I've been reading (and watching Discovery Channel specials) on dark matter, and the notion that, for the universe to exist as it does, there ought to be an incomprehensible amount of matter "out there" exerting gravitational force. All of that "stuff", science is unable to directly detect! Astrophysics isn't exactly my field in any sense of the term, but I still find the topics and theories absolutely fascinating. If anyone else out there is interested, here's a link to the Wikipedia entry on dark matter. Makes me wish I could comprehend the mathematical subtleties along with the broad concepts. My home satellite TV service recently upgraded, so now I get to watch the Science Channel and have my mind blown to my heart's content, at least on weekends that I'm not up to my eyeballs in homework and research projects!
Starting the school year with a change of blog scenery! I think it looks pretty good, personally!
Amazing the things that develop out of a walk in the dark :)
