Closer to understanding Dark Matter??

[cybereye]

I love studying Cosmology - I get to study something where 96% of it is unknown! However, there is the possibility that scientists are closer to working out what Dark Matter is...

Scientists May be Close to Solving the Dark Matter Mystery (http://www.news.com.au/technology/sci-tech/scientists-may-be-close-to-solving-dark-matter-mystery/story-fn5fsgyc-1226580738021)

Hi Mario,:)

Good article. I think once they do progress it will lead quickly to Dark Energy as well. Perhaps further understanding of gravity as well.

The Potential is awesome. Anti-grav travel?;)

Cheers:)

I still call "Phlogiston" on dark matter/energy.

But either way, investigating leads to discoveries and new knowledge, all good!

Mario, if your interest is Cosmology, then there is none better to explain it to you than Prof Geraint Lewis (USYD)

He is a frequent visitor to The Macarthur Astronomical Forum.
You may follow his blog HERE (http://cosmic-horizons.blogspot.com.au/). :)

Cheers, John.

John,

Thanks for the link, it looks very interesting. I'm currently doing the Caltech Galaxies and Cosmology course through coursera.org. The lecturer is Prof. George Djorgovski and he really does a good job of explaining a rather cerebral subject!!

Cheers,
Mario
