Either dark matter and dark energy are real and unfound or we’re missing something in what we’re observing, either one says we need to keep looking, so let’s all put our lab coats on and get to work!

I like that, don’t believe it without a theory to back it up.

Our drop has grown in the ocean of knowledge that surrounds us someday we might get to a half full glass! Exciting times with JWST and LIGO, and all the rest, new knowledge flowing into us from so many directions, I can’t wait to see what comes to us in the future.

Time is not required for what the math is describing so no not necessary.

Of course anything is grown by more knowledge of all things, or at least more things.

Well, you’ve failed to get me to take the pill, I don’t see myself in the Matrix although it was a great movie. Is there someplace out of time, possibly, out of space, again possible, can they ever be proven to exist, definitely not, for you would have to move out of space and time to get the proof. On entanglement, in my mind I visualize all things in this universe as entangled, the conundrum to me is that science has found so few examples of it. Maybe we’ll find a correlation between a virtual chip and reality but I can’t see it yet.

If we ignore any aspect of the picture the image will be wrong> Mercury didn’t fit until we put more into our understanding, Until we gather all the pixels we won’t have a clear image.

Maybe space/time is 3+1+1, ‘width depth height’ + time + gravity. Putting gravity as a dimension would give us a better or at least different perspective. Am I wrong in this or am I missing something else? 4+1, 3+1, 3+1+1, 11d+ in strings, end result ?+?+?+?+?+?+?+? so many questions too few answers. The universe is eternally speaking and we are only here to hear it for such a small amount of time.
