This energy manifests itself as the dark matter needed to make up the
missing mass of the universe but will never be found because it
predates the Big Bang so current means of detection simply can't see
it.  Since this is an Nth generation (where N in a really, really big
number) universe and that energy has existed since before even the
first one, it will never be found so scientists have to make up
something to make the numbers work out.  Usually it's something even
more bizarre than what is really going on.

This comes from thinking.  Brain aches are something to be avoided at
all costs.  Look at how grumpy the people who think a lot get.  Look
around the lists.  All the really happy people are the ones who
stopped thinking.

Yes, and I stand by those questions ... unless given a better offer.

Could it be a shade of bluish green or greenish blue?  How about a
nice lavendar instead?  Purple is very regal but that's because it hid
the spots where the royals spilled their wine in their drunken
debauchery.  Black goes with everything and is ever so mysterious
while grey flannel allows you to hide in plain sight.  Maybe all of
them?  And what would you like for shoes?
