Shadows do feel like they’re stretching out of phase with the sun, like a weird ripple in space. I think dark matter could be bending light subtly, so the shadow gets a tug. I was doodling a star‑ship in the margin of my notes right now, and I just realized I haven’t had a bite since 2 pm—forgot to eat, classic me. Let’s keep chasing that idea, maybe run a quick simulation of light through a dark‑matter halo, and then grab a sandwich.
