Why do people get vaccines? Don't they research the ingredients?

I watched it already today with my dad, he has a feed to one of the news-sites and they released it this afternoon!

It looks amazing if you know what's behind the picture.
The infinity question finally has another brick added to it to uphold the validity of einsteins theory.

It's kinda funny contemplating a black hole in time and space, an orb that acts like an infinite drop point inwards.

Next up will be the attempt to take a picture of our own black-hole if i am not mistaken so we have some more stuff to look forward to.

We live in glorious days :)

Peace,

At this point, the unsettling feeling is growing again. Decades ago, scientists were confident about the existence of the “luminiferous aether” as a medium to carry light. Now, that’s looked back on as a clumsy belief that should have been dropped far earlier than it was. Scientists persisted because they were sure that light, like sound, required a medium to move through in spite of the evidence piling up against that concept. Having been fooled once, scientists have to ask: Is dark matter the new ether?

For decades, a few rogue scientists have stood hopefully at the edge of respectability, offering their theory called Modified Newtonian Dynamics, or MOND. Essentially, it says that physics doesn’t work as we know it at the largest scales. It says we’ve been drawing the wrong conclusions, and dark matter isn’t required to explain the universe. No one has managed to develop a theory of MOND that adequately explains the universe around us, but it occasionally gains converts simply because the competing theory of dark matter has a glaring flaw: we can’t find it.

Perhaps we’re wrong about something in the standard model that defines how the tiniest particles in the universe behave and interact, and dark matter exists, but in a very different form than we’re expecting. Or perhaps we are wrong about the laws of gravity.

Or perhaps, maybe even tomorrow, an experiment will turn up a neutralino exactly where researchers say it should be. A particle will strike a tank of supercooled xenon. The LHC team will discover a new particle. Science is hard, and seen against the long story of scientific progress, we only started looking for dark matter yesterday. Until something changes, we’ll have to rest uneasy with the unsettling possibility that physics as we know it might be very wrong.

This reminds me. I wish I had a physicist for a friend. I had an idea for intergalactic combat in one of my books, and was going to pose a question about dark matter.
