Maybe from a suitable perspective, but that obviously isn't true from every perspective (ours for example, experiencing our universe as commonly understood). Otherwise there would be no distinguishing features or separation of energy in any form.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ here -

Yes we love to be selfish as if the universe revolves around our species.
When the aliens arrive and say they crossed the universe to get here just for a day out and we say but you can't travel faster than light, they'll just say "what's light?".
Of course they may already be here and we just can't detect them as they exist in a different dimension than our senses and sensors can detect.
Where's all the dark matter? Everywhere, we just need to evolve something better than eyes to see it.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Better eyes won't work. I'm sure dark matter comprises tachyons (mass-energy particles and fields travelling backwards in time and hence faster than light).Originally posted by Hobosapien View PostWhere's all the dark matter? Everywhere, we just need to evolve something better than eyes to see it.
That's the reason it won't interact with normal matter other than "in bulk" via gravity - To do so would violate causality, because you could use it to signal from the future to the past.
Also tachyons constantly accelerate and in doing so they lose energy. So in the limit, they may manifest themselves as dark energy, gently and uniformly expanding the whole observable universe.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
