An adjunct of wrapping-paper theory (Esther, 2007) is, of course, mince pie theory. Just as in wrapping paper theory, branes envelop ideas surrounding objectivity as in a Christmas gift, the truth of what is inside is unknowable. Mince pie theory takes this one step further, stipulating that branes surround dark matter: in essence, the truth about dark matter is unknowable,, for it is surrounded my lighter matter (pastry). However, sometimes the dark matter leaks out, and we can see it has bits of light matter within (the so called suet phenomenon). This is very mysterious: we don’t know much about the suet phenomenon, only that it is very hot at first, then cools down. We know that it is a major ingredient of the main part of Christmas phenomenology: the pudding.

Ok, I better stop trying to marry cookery and physics. I’ll go back to cripple politics tomorrow…maybe.
