We reckon around 85 per cent of the universe’s matter is exotic stuff that doesn’t reflect, emit or absorb light, which is why it is called dark matter. The only force that this hypothetical stuff definitely deigns to interact with is gravity, as far as we know, which makes it incredibly difficult to detect. “When I gave talks on this in the 80s, I was telling people, ‘Oh, we’re going to figure this out in 10 years’,” says Katherine Freese, an astrophysicist at the University of Texas at Austin. Decades later, we are still waiting. “It’s obviously a harder problem than we realised.”

Wittgenstein’s Use (see also: Wittgenstein’s Ruler): Whenever people use something, that thing is also using people. People use tractors. Tractors use people…to reproduce, to repair. Any pattern is at least a quasi-living thing at the level of a virus.
