UotNS and how it screws with your head

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Dark flow refers to the non-random motion of galaxies and galactic
clusters relative to the cosmic microwave radiation background.  Old
models predicted them to move randomly; new observations are dubbed
"dark flow" because we cannot observe the impetus for motion.  Just
like we can't observe the matter that makes up the majority of the
mass of the universe, calling it "dark matter."
