Dark matter Quote by Weike Wang
““If I could go back in time, I would design apartments that could not echo. I would revoke sound's ability to echo in the first place. It is the echo and the dark matter that keep me up at night. If I could go back in time, I would sleep and sleep. But Hawking makes a very simple case for why time travel is not possible: no one in the past has come forward and no one in the future has come back.””
