Comment Re: No (Score 2) 397

My comment was made on two grounds.

First as a bit of fun using the citation meme when someone makes a large generalized statement in this case the statement of No in reply to a theory of large alien structures dimming a star.

Second the theory that his comment was responding to was based on observable evidence of a distant star dimming in what appears to be random intervals and was a proposal to what was causing this dimming.

There reply of No is not backed up with anything, I am guessing it is this persons believe or lack of believe that giant alien structures could exist that caused them to make there statement rather than any theory about why it could not be the proposed giant alien structures that are causing the dimming.

So to put it simply, Citation please was posted both as a funny comment in reply to a one word response to a theory based on evidence and as commentary that this response had no backing in its statement.

Or read what the hell I wrote instead of just the title while you rushed to comment dark matter as a thing does not exist its the name of a theory and people should stop acting like its the name of something physical if the theory finds out that it does relate to some kind of new physical thing then that physical thing will have its own name and not be called dark matter.

Comment Dark matter does not exist. (Score 2) 156

Dark matter does not exist, Dark matter is just the name of a theory that scientists have come up with to describe some anomalous gravity data they got when they looked at how the universe was put together mainly how galaxies interact with each other.

As they could see something is interacting with the galaxies yet they could not directly detect what is causing the interaction they called it dark and as the general consensus is that in order for this amount of interaction it has to come from somewhere and the only stuff in the universe that we currently know can interact with gravity on this scale is matter the theory is that some kind of undetectable matter exists so they called it dark matter but the theory does allow for other kinds of causes of the interaction. Its an ongoing evolving theory like all theories.

Talking about dark matter like it is actual stuff is the same when people talk about anonymous like its an actual group instead of a descriptor or talking about the public when it could mean anyone.

The theory and picture is till cool though.

Comment Why so many studios? (Score 1) 54

I was wondering what where the studios that are shutting down developing?

For having so many studios I have not heard about many games that crytek where making.

Also can someone tell me the CryEngine the article is talking about that is part of there core strength is that still the same CryEngine that Crysis ran on back in 2007? Not exactly state of the art now is it.
