Well, 150 years ago, nobody could contemplate non visible electromagnetic
energy. What I'm suggesting is that someday we will be able to see if very
clearly, in all its complexity and then we'll be able to use it the way we
now use other forms of matter and energy that we understand.

A few centuries ago, mankind knew nothing about many types of matter and
energy which we now understand, and which have given us great powers,
for
good or bad.

So, at this time we know very little about dark matter and energy and
models
about them are necessarily simple- but, isn't it likely that they are
actually very complex in structure and that when we do understand them
better we'll gain immense new powers?

I should think science fiction writers could have a field day
speculating
on
this- are they doing so? I haven't read sci fi in decades so I don't
know
what the best are doing.

Just fantasizing, but I can imagine future being very impacted by better
understand of this stuff and not just the science of astronomy.

Interesting, but how you can contemplate dark matter?
You can contemplate only its indirect effects...

suggesting that it may turn out this way- a vast new frontier to explore,
with new power for the naked apes of Earth.
