Not sure if serious, but:
Quote:Whatever dark matter is, it appears to clump into large clouds called haloes that engulf galaxies, including our own Milky Way. As the solar system makes its regular progression around the galaxy, it flies through this halo, causing dark matter to bombard the sun and planets with a steady "wind," just as flies will hit the windshield of a fast-moving car. Earth, however, is also revolving around the sun. Astrophysicists have assumed that when it is moving against the direction of the dark matter wind (which happens to be during summer), we should see an uptick in dark matter particles of a few percent, and a corresponding decrease when Earth is traveling with the tide during winter.

Thanks for the daily joke. It's hilarious.
We get an uptick of dark matter in the summer and a decrease in the winter? LMAO!! Don't you know that the seasons are reversed in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres? Are we supposed to believe that dark matter is sensitive to a few degrees change on Earth that it flees from one hemisphere to the other when it gets chilly? So if you want to be free of dark matter hang out at the North and South Poles. Space is a whole lot colder than any place on Earth.
What are some of the other silly things you believe in?
