Does that shape how you do your science? Does it shape your work as a scientist within that organization? I'm just curious about the dynamics of being a Christian working at somewhere like NASA.

I think in terms of doing the process of scientific method, scientific investigation, I don't think it really makes that much difference.

As in, I could sit down with colleagues and we can analyze the latest results from the simulation and say, oh, does it Does it seem to fit the data? What do we think it's saying? I guess in terms of being a Christian, I guess it's then having that, I mean, I think you used the word earlier, the worldview.

It's a different worldview of, right, what is the purpose to all this? What is behind all this? And...

You know, many colleagues, you know, from the conversations I've had with people, I guess would be, you know, there are some other Christians there.

So I was not alone as a Christian working in science.

And there are many, many Christians in science right around the world.

Is that a faith in itself? Do you think that feels similar to what you were saying as a Christian is a faith?

I mean, is that true? And I guess in maybe just sort of simple terms, how can we think about dark matter, dark energy? What is that? How

do we understand that? So I think, yeah, the latest, as far as I'm aware, kind of the latest current theories are saying that is still, that is correct.

You know, 95% of the universe, we quite simply just don't know what it is.

It is kind of, it stems from, I mean, I can take each one in turn and say dark matter, for example, that it stems from But both dark matter and dark energy stem from strange observations that were made.

So dark matter, for example, I guess in the 20th century, various astronomers, they found very strange measurements in the observations of galaxies or clusters of galaxies.

For instance, they measured something called the rotation curve of a galaxy.

So literally they measured...
