One of the fascinating things I've learned online, is how material flows back towards the sun. If someone would've suggested that 20 years ago, he'd have been laughed out of town. The "Astronomy Picture Of The Day", w/ a Detailed Caption from Nov 2001.

Quote: "...the cloud seems to be moving inward at 50-100 kilometers per second..."

Click on the Picture and you can see the 3 Hour, 4 Picture set. It's truly amazing.

You mean you don't understand the policy of mis-direction?

Take your garden-variety light bulb. Even the name is wrong; it is really a dark sucker. Don't believe me ??

Try this yourself -- turn on a light and hold your hand between it and a wall. See all the dark that gets left behind? The 'light bulb' can't get the dark behind your hand, but you will notice that the 'shadow' is not as dark as it was. That's because dark is a weak force, and some of it does escape to get to the 'light bulb'. Look under the couch; see how the 'shadow' gets darker as you look further under it?

Ever notice that when a 'light bulb' goes out, it's dark both inside and outside the bulb. Then when it no longer functions, it is full of dark, and usually has black spots on the inside where it trapped the dark. Once it gets enough dark inside, it quits working.

So you see, the matter really does flow back to the sun; there is a lot of dark for it to collect, but they estimate it will take another five billion years before the sun gets its fill of dark and goes out.

You're welcome. 8^D
