Why Does Dark Matter Matter?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')e’re reconciled to the post-Copernican idea that we don’t occupy a central place in our universe. But now our cosmic status must seemingly be demoted still further. Particle chauvinism has to go: we’re not made of the dominant stuff in the universe. We, the stars, and the visible galaxies are just traces of sediment — almost a seeming afterthought — in the cosmos: entities quite different (and still unknown) controlled the emergence of its present structure, and will determine its eventual fate.

And we live in a time that is not so dark (yet):

The Exquisite Role of Dark Matter

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')t will be very exciting to be either proved right or wrong. That's the beauty of science. The fact that you can sit in your little office in New Haven and make a calculation that a community of people will take seriously enough to test it, and do so within ten, fifteen years is awesome. It's super exciting to be part of that process. What a privilege to be born at this time when that's actually possible. Of course, it would be nice to be right.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('GASMON', '.').. Ever been to Durham Cathedral ?

Nice Video. Reminds me of the solar system - to scale - in front of the Smithsonian Air&Space Museum.

If I ever make it to Europe I'd definitely stop in the UK. ... Maybe in the next life.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('GASMON', '.').. Anyway this is quite worrying (not !!) ...

Agreed. Anything from the Express is a joke. Same for the Mirror, Mail, The Sun and The Star.

But the masses must be kept in ignorance and fear.

Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')ear, uncertainty and doubt is a disinformation strategy used in sales, marketing, public relations, politics, cults, and propaganda. FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information and a manifestation of the appeal to fear.

Insensible before the wave so soon released by callous fate. Affected most, they understand the least, and understanding, when it comes, invariably arrives too late.
