  • Plausible!

    I had a bachelor’s in physics a decade ago.

    But here’s how my memory describes how we discovered, or at least how we did it in my computational physics class.

    You have stars of known size, and there for light output as its directly proportional to size. You also have a known distance.

    You can then calculate how bright the star should be. But its wrong.

    Meaning there’s things in the way thats blocking light.

    So we call it dark matter because it hasn’t been directly observed and its clearly there. It could be our fundamentals are wrong, but that’s unlikely.

    It could very well follow gravitational fields, and then attracted to galaxies with large masses.

    But it could also be something in the vacuum. We just have no evidence to suggest either way.






  • I’ve been a professional developer for over a decade.

    Find something simple to solve a problem you actually have.

    Who cares if its been done better a thousand times. Thats not the point.

    The point is that the only way you get better is by doing it shittly first, and then learn from mistakes. After a while you make less.

    Black jack inna terminal is a good one, a to do app, or time tracker, or automated stop watch. Whatever.

    Even better if you find one that’s been done before. Do it yourself, then compare with what someone else did. What you like and dislike about how they did it, and keep learning.
