Dark matter Quote by RA Nelson
““The Door. To keep from thinking about it, I focus on seven words: "Don't worry, he's going to be fine." Those are the words I have to hear. One word for each day they say it took to create the earth. Though I know it really took billions of years and swirling through dark matter and hydrogen snow. But we are waiting God days in the emergency room of this hospital. God hours and God minutes. Whole epochs pass.””
