This a good read as well. Wow! You're not wrong :) "You can make stars and galaxies that look like the real thing. But it is the dark matter that is calling the shots". In the beginning, it shows strands of mysterious material which cosmologists call "dark matter" sprawling across the emptiness of space like branches of a cosmic tree. As millions of years pass by, the dark matter clumps and concentrates to form seeds for the first galaxies. Just some bits from the report I will be getting my head round with my NEXT cup of coffee :) Thanks Chris :) |

Do neutrons hold the key? Neutrons bouncing in Earth's gravity are helping to shed light on two of the greatest mysteries in the universe, dark matter and dark energy, researchers say. Dark matter is an invisible substance thought to make up five-sixths of all matter in the universe. The strength of its gravitational pull apparently helps keep galaxies from spinning apart at the speeds at which they whirl. http://www.foxnews.com/science/2014/05/07/dark-matter-and-dark-energy-mysteries-do-neutrons-hold-key/?intcmp=obnetwork Dark matter and dark energy mysteries: Do neutrons hold the key? |

I had linked the Phys.Rev.Lett article but nobody has seen it. I have worked with neutrons in my youth while calibrating a bubble chamber at Trieste University built for the International Atomic Energy Authority and know them rater well. Tullio |

Apparently 51:47 Indeed so. However, to understand what was intended, you need to interpret the words in the manner of how they were used at that time in the language and beliefs of the day. Hence, to 'interpret' scripture from millennia ago, in today's modern use of language literally, is literally farcical. Also note that you can dream anything you like from allegorical writing... That style of writing is such that you can believe almost anything you like, surely so! As was self-referenced it was said!! ;-) Keep searchin', Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

You asked about whether the Quoran mentions Dark matter Julie. I found this.Quran - dark matter and the seven heavensSo the "Jinn" are dark matter? Also note that you can dream anything you like ... My favorite Jinn. |

Apparently 51:47 What's wrong with believing anything you like? [edit]As long as you have a good personality or a good heart or whatever you like to call it, you can believe in anything you like imo:) On to dark matter and dark energy again now:) rOZZ Music Pictures |

What's wrong with believing anything you like? The wrong comes when those beliefs are forced on others by codifying them into civil law. |

I mean good persons should be allowed to believe anything they like:) Even people who are not good can believe what they want; but who doesn't think their beliefs are good? Anyway science can't give a better explanation for dark matter than it is made up of Genies so it could be. |

What's wrong with believing anything you like? Can you imagine if really 'bad' persons could accomplish the things they like to believe? rape, murder, deceit, infidelity, aggression et all. I don't have to say 'imagine' because it's happening around us every day. My point here is those people KNEW already about the expanding of the universe LONG before anyone ever knew there even WAS a universe at all! Where did it come from? A telepathical thought sent from heaven? LOL How did they know dark energy? Sometimes you have to listen to things people believe in because it ain't bullsh**! You just have to know the value of it yourself. [edit] I don't say every person who is a 'clairvoyant' has good intentions or a good heart. rOZZ Music Pictures |

Did anyone see this in the news, it was on quite a lot of news sites around the world. Universe evolution recreated in lab An international team of researchers has created the most complete visual simulation of how the Universe evolved. |

It's only a model and has its limits.Models are used in all sciences and run on computers. I am running simulations of proton-proton collisions in Test4Theory@home, which help scientists to analyze the 600 millions/second collisions in the LHC. You can't analyze all of them and the model I am running helps scientists to select meaningful events against a background of noise. Tullio |

Is dark matter real? The LHC has not found any WIMP so far, the most likely candidates for it, and ultracold neutrons don't feel any attraction by dark matter. So, does it exist only in some parts of the Universe and not in our Galaxy? That is the question. Tullio |

Dark matter is just a trick of the Jinn; the Jinn get a kick out of messing with humans. |
