Yeah a nifty little handycam Dusty, I wonder what the max frame rate is or how big the buffer is?

Ps I don’t ‘get’ dark matter and dark energy, my question as always is ‘WHERE IS IT?’ if 96% of the universe is made up of the stuff then it should be everywhere including the makeup of the Earth, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, the Asteroids, Jupiter and moons, Saturn and moons, Uranus and moons, Neptune and moons, Pluto and the Ort cloud, but no there is nary a single atom of the stuff anywhere in sight…very strange for an entire solar system to be made totally of something so rare that only 4% of it exists in the universe and absolutely none of the 96% ‘other stuff’ got involved.
Normal matter should be so rare that you would have to dig kilometres through dark matter just to find a trace of it. If dark matter and normal matter got segregated somehow, by what process was that done? And how come 96% of the universe is segregated into a place where no one knows where it’s gone too?
I think the universe is much older and bigger than it looks (the speed of light is too slow to keep us up to date) and the majority of the missing mass is dead star cores and neutron stars etc. There isn’t a lot of use analysing the universe (progressively) out billions of light years away and trying to make sense out of it because that’s how the universe looked billions of years AGO, in reality it probably looks nothing like that in ‘now’ time. It also gives one the impression that gravity travels at a different speed to light, more of an instantaneous type connection. What we need is a telescope that can ‘see’ gravity.
Also could the distant ‘red shift’ be attributed too vestigial inflation effects left over from the original so called ‘big bang.’ The further ‘out’ one looks the closer one gets to the beginning where things were supposedly moving a lot faster than they are now so I would have thought it would be no surprise that the further you go back in time the faster the movement would appear to be, the universe could actually be slowing down in reality, (the nearby galaxies aren’t speeding away and that is the most current information to hand, the Andromeda galaxy is actually approaching ours at 130Km/sec) it might even be contracting now but we would not know it for millions or billions of years, we would still see it as continuing too expand for a long time yet.
