Indeed: Futurama rocks, so probably scientists will discover that what we've seen there is in realty the truth! :D <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Matter" rel="nofollow">Dark matter</a> is really an intriguing topic: <blockquote>Only about 4% of the total energy density in the universe (as inferred from gravitational effects) can be seen directly. About 22% is thought to be composed of dark matter. The remaining 74% is thought to consist of dark energy, an even stranger component, distributed diffusely in space.</blockquote> That almost seems more science-fiction than science. My Star Trek geek side giggles! ^__^ I remember that Futurama episode. Indeed: Futurama rocks, so probably scientists will discover that what we’ve seen there is in realty the truth! :D
