pondering weird subjects when I lay in bed at night before falling asleep. My brain is beginning to shut down and my mind wanders to a place where philosophical musings and far-fetched hypotheses swirl around my subconscious. Is there intelligent life elsewhere in the universe and if so, why have they not contacted us yet? What is dark matter exactly? Where did religion first come from?
