I thought there was some in my refrigerator, but every time I open the door the light comes on so I'm not sure.

Really great shot - I like the light and shadows effect. And that dark matter text is on the page!

I do know that the gravity is much stronger directly under my bed. Could be there is some dark matter there.

i think there is some in my dryer.
It acts like some sort of event horizon.The energy causes my socks to spin so fast that instead of turning into a binary pair of pulsar socks it just clean sucks it into the other side leaving me...alas...with one sock...and a gamma ray burst
but then....does it really anti-matter anyway ?

Nice. Took me a second to spot the corresponding text. Must've been a hardcover with a fairly decent binding, no? Paperbacks just don't open like that... (gah-- the bookbinder in me won't shut up)

JR- yes, a hardcover. Don't some paperbacks have sewn signatures also?

I found some source of dark matter, but it should not be publicly exposed... keep it secret: some somber souls provide it galore!

I thought I had left comments on this right after I got your card, but it appears I was mistaken. This is a fantastic shot and I very much appreciate having a hard copy of it!

I'm not sure what you mean by signature, but yes paperbacks were sewn (often both sewn and glued). Judging from my bookshelves, the practice disappeared earlier in Anglo-Saxon publishing than here in France. Some publishers here still sew the "cahiers" together. All the paperbacks in my buddy icon were sewn.

thanks for letting me know, kleefunkelchen. i don't read german, so i'm curious what this photo could possibly have to do with unesco ;-)

kleefunkelchen says:

it has to do with the unseco because its a book and the unesco originated the worldwide day of the book which is dated on 23rd april.. i needed a good pic of an book for my blog to write about this day and yours was the best ;-)
thanks again :)

oh and btw...i think i found some dm in my fridge today in a little container w/some crinkly foil precariously wrapped around it. i was afraid of it...i might have seen an eyeball...or maybe it was a foot?!
either way....i was scared.

Yes, books are great for all sorts of things.

Perhaps your dark matter escaped from here?

darkmatter  Pro User  says:

its much less confusing than f-stops and bokeh!

here's the 10-second story of dark matter:
- a third of the universe is made of it, but there's hardly any on earth,
- its not really dark, its transparent (and thus invisible),
- we know what it isn't (atoms) but not what it is.

ok, now you're ready for the 60-second version:
