Dark matter and the spirit world.
Not too long ago, scientists launched a massive project known as WMAP. This project basically went into space and measures all sorts of fun stuff. One of the things they discovered is that our universe is 96% dark matter. There are a number of theories as to what this invisible substance is. Some think it is smaller stars, and planets that we cannot see. Others however believe that it is a new type of substance that we have never seen before. I will be basing this on the premise that the physicists are correct, and this matter is actually a new substance. Dark matter is an invisible substance, that congeals, and holds together our universe. Massive galaxy clusters have been documented, that simply cannot be explained otherwise. This matter is not only invisible, but it also does not directly interact with the physical world around it, other than to produce gravity. This substance is all around us, and we dont even know it. Now then, I would like to postulate on the possibility that this matter is actually the spirit realm. If you think about it, it makes sense. Its invisible, it holds the universe together, and we cant touch / feel / or taste it. Could it be that spirits reside within this matter? And that the spirit realm is all around us holding our universe together? What then would that mean for religion? Can you imagine the entire universe being accessible to you when you die? These are only thoughts on a possibility. But I do urge you to think about it, before tossing it out. :)
