Do you think it's possible that dark matter is unobserved "matter" that has not collapsed into physical existence due to being observed? In the double slit experiment for example, if you fire a single electron at a time at the slits, you eventually see an interference pattern develop on the screen, one observation at a time. But if you never observed the location of the electron, would it remain an unobserved wave? So I guess I'm just wondering if dark matter is just the uncollapsed portion of the universe.

Maybe not, because we are observing a well defined gravitational influence.

My cockatoo Shadow needs a course of antibiotics, and I'm having trouble getting it into the bird. He keeps getting wise to my methods. He likes his morning smoothie and almond milk, so I started by putting the meds in a bit of that. He's gotten wise to it though! Is there any other liquid medium that would be irresistible to a bird that would be ok for them in small quantities and would perhaps mask the medicine better? Or any ideas at all about other low stress ways of getting a bird to ingest it? I've tried reasoning with him, but I'm sure you know how that went. As soon as I say the word "medicine" he bobs his head in that way he does to express irritation.
