mysterious dark matter


Dark matter is really pretty common, but rather fickle. Go down any mine, switch off your light, and you'll be surrounded by it. Switch on and it disappears. Clever eh? Amazing stuff.

Disclaimer: Mine exploring can be quite dangerous, but then again it can be alright, it all depends on the weather. Please read the proper disclaimer.
