where's my science forum?

i never wanted to believe in dark matter. it's just too damn crazy. but there ya go.

we still don't know exactly what it is, but we now know that it is.

You're all about dark matter, lately.

sounds sorta like the stuff that holds the universe together. Hmmmm.
Interesting.

good thing that stuff holds our solar system/galaxy/universe together, huh?

we owe it all to dark matter.

our existence is a miracle.

whenever I read shit like that I'm reminded of epicycles...

they don't know what is going on out there and they make up silly articles based on mis-extrapolations of the formulas of their prophets. If I want crazy preditions I'll read the bible.

"We've closed this loophole about gravity, and we've come closer than ever to seeing this invisible matter," Clowe said.

whatever.

" This produced the separation of the dark and normal matter seen in the data. If hot gas was the most massive component in the clusters, as proposed by alternative gravity theories, such a separation would not have been seen. Instead, dark matter is required."

This is what I'm interested in. My dark matter theory might be what is referred to as an 'alternative gravity theory.' Isn't gravity the only one of the fundamental forces that doesn't have a "counterpart" ?
We've got a force that keeps atoms together, one that breaks them apart. Then the electromagnetic force, which can be either attractive or repulsive.
Being, possibly as non-scientific as possible, it seems like there's some type of symmetry. Anti-gravity = dark matter? I'm just saying.

Sounds a little racist to me, Slam, you piece of S*i#t....
