Time goes by, as can be witnessed by the new number that represents my age in years. For the passing moment I received a robot dog and a home blood pressure monitor. The dog acts very cute and makes strange noises, but does not make stains on the carpet.
I have received a few robots in my life, since that was the subject of my profession. I think I would buy every kind of robot there ever was if I had the money.
There is a problem in space physics that intrigues me. It is the "Spiral Galaxy Rotation" phenomenon, in which stars near the galactic center orbit the disc at approximately the same point on along a radius as those toward the edges. This runs counter to our experiences in the Solar System, where planets further from the Sun travel much slower than the planets closer in -- Mercury is closet to the Sun and orbits it every 88 days, where Pluto and planetoids most distant from the Sun take hundreds of years for a single orbit.
The solution is supposedly a ring of "dark matter" which contributes more gravitational influence on the stars further away from the galactic "bulge" than those within the "bulge". Other ideas include time distortion on the central stars due to the supermassive black hole, and chained gravitational drag propagating out along galactic spiral arms.
The "dark matter" theory seems most likely to me, because of the recent discovery that neutrinos have tiny but measurable "mass", and that since there are countless trillions of them passing through every cubic centimeter of space every second, it seems likely that some contribution to stellar gravitation might exist.
