The universe is a mysterious place

[racrguy]

It never ceases to amaze me how much the species (humans) look back on ancestors and laugh at their ignorance still thinks so highly of ourselves... Yeah... you figured out how to create facebook... good job, here's your cookie... not sit the fuck down in the corner and stop patting yourself on the back you idiot. We understand maybe .000000000001% of the universe and yet think we've conquered the whole damn thing.

4% is the number I've heard.

Saw this some time ago and thought - what detection devices are they using? Considering photons might be easily manipulated.
Occam's razor might suggest such scrutiny. Though I'm certain it's been analyzed with impunity.

Cool stuff nonetheless.
