Ever hear of dark matter?   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter

"Dark matter is stuff waiting to happen"  --Greg Bear, in a talk (I think this one at Google) about the novel "City at the End of Time", his homage to Hodgson's Night Land.

Primordial matter is what you see around you.  By the end of the universe in Bear's novel it's rare and valuable.  For the others he took inspiration from a throwaway line in Olaf Stapledon's "Last and First Men" about "artificial atoms".

I think we live in the world of dark matter.

What we call "dark matter" is most likely the real light matter.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Every time I see this thread I think “this” refers to 2020.

I'm still convinced it does,  however inadvertantly.
