The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'm not a cosmologist, but that is almost a restatement of the dark matter hypothesis, except concentrating it into black holes. One problem is that black holes evaporate over time (Hawking). Another is that we've learned how to see them if they are anywhere near matter because the matter accelerating towards the black hole emits radiation (detectable).

The latest scholarship on galaxy formation is that the first galaxies appeared after about 100-200M years.

And then there's dark energy...

Lots to discover. We appear to be living at a time when that is still possible. In the far future, things may have expanded so much that we wouldn't be able to see much because it will be too far away, moving faster than it's light can ever get to us. We see that phenomenon now, distant objects winking out of our view.
