Question
QUESTION: hi,is it possible that dark matter is cosmic strings rotating about the galactic plane? Thankyou.

ANSWER: Hi,
I admit defeat!! :)

I would be doing something terribly wrong even to surmise anything about something I dont even understand!

Richard, I am not a professional astrophycist!
That is the realm of Hawking and Sagan.

I just read up stuff and may be more knowledgeable than others.

You too must refrain from taking your theorization too seriously! :)

I think we both are in the wonderland of Alice as far as this topic is concerned.

No fear, one need be a knowall.

regards
Jayen

QUESTION: Thanks anyway. Hawking was busy and sagan unobtainable so i turned to you! Il try alice next. By the way,im not that serious!! just an interest-thanks once again. Regards Richard

Answer
Richard,
Thank you for not getting angry etc.
I have learned one thing in life, even if you run the risk of scorn, always admit you do not know something rather than blunder on and say stupid things!
It has stood me in good stead in life.
Do ask alice! :)
Who know the mad hatter or the doemouse may yet dip their watches in Tea and answer your question!! :)

I normally refer to alice, when pet theories are being discussed and I sense passion.

No worry there, I have my own closet full of those theories that i occasionally go thru the looking glass and nurse.

regards
Jayen
