DARK ENERGY

Life is a puzzle.

Humans are puzzling.

Evil is puzzling.

But thanks to the large eye of the Hubble Telescope, scientists now know how old evil is:

Scientists now have evidence that dark energy has been around for most of the universe's history.

That's right folks...this
"enexplicable repulsive force, dark energy" has existed for eons and eons.

This planet's large-brained (and often) dumb denizens have manufactured, experienced and exploited the dark force for a long, long time.

Evolution has not slowed us down, either.

We continue to bash, mash, burn, bomb and blow each other up like there's no tomorrow.

DNA is a fine thing.

Someone ought to locate the dark force gene and
kick it out...
AND SOON!

I saw a cartoon the other day with that same guy, carrying the sign that reads THE WORLD IS GOING TO END SOON.

Another guy says YOU KEEP SAYING THAT BUT IT NEVER HAPPENS.

The doomsday guy says THAT'S BECAUSE I'M AN OPTIMIST.

With things like WAR and GLOBAL WARMING, the light at the end of the tunnel is not always so brilliant or believable.

But we should still hope.

But more than just hoping, the human race, one by one, needs to let go of the dark

Energy...

If we can just figure out what it is:

Mario Livio from the Space Telescope Science Institute put the situation in perspective at a media teleconference at NASA headquarters today. “Water covers 70 percent of the surface of the Earth,” Livio said, yet it took humans many centuries to first discover the properties of water. With dark energy, he said, researchers are still in the phase of determining its properties.
