In the middle of the Milky Way, scientists find so called space "vampires", stars that suck the life out of other stars and by that rejuvenate themselves.

Oh wow, that sounds like something worth further observation and research.

I knew it!!  All vampires suck...in one way or another

Seriously though, that was pretty interesting. If you find more info on that give us a link. I think all energy is kin in some sort of a way, trying to understand things like that on a small scale, or a large one in this case,  could lead to a better understanding of many things.  I meen if you consider just how much atoms have in comon with solar systems....makes some of the rusty gears in the back of my mind start turning.

Indeed Ravin, atoms and galaxies look a lot like each other too. They coexist and move in same way. A lot smaller in atoms case. And faster.

Is Earth an electron???

Could be, in a strange sort of a way. What if all the solar systems and galaxies are something like strange atoms that somehow make up an even larger Thing? I know thats crazy, but its a thought that pops into my head from time to time.  Not saying I believe that, just saying "what if?"
