One reason not to take this article serious : “The fact that it’s still intact suggests it’s encased in a shell of dark matter, like a Hobbit wrapped in a mithril coat.”
Did you really just use a hobbit reference in a factual, scientific explanation?! Your credibility is shot right there. Won’t even touch base on the total lack of knowledge or proof of dark matter existing and the fact that, that’s what its supposedly encased in. Tell me….have you ever be able to measure, see, or test dark matter to validate its existence? Doubt it, so then how could this even be considered an answer to any question if it is indeed a question all by itself if it exists or not?!
foolish, foolish hypothesis.
