Very High Frequency Radiation Makes Dark Matter Visible

Garching, Germany (SPX) Dec 18, 2006

The stars and gas which are seen in galaxies account for only a few percent of the gravitating material in the Universe. Most of the rest has remained stubbornly invisible and is now thought to be made of a new form of matter never yet seen on Earth.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics have discovered, however, that a sufficiently big radio telescope could make a picture of everything that gravitates, rivalling the images made by optical telescopes of everything that shines (online: 28. November 2006).

        obviously you don't understand Evil string theory. - Scott Evil - 12/18/2006 11:28:46 PM
