Dark Matter's Profile Discovered?
pingbak writes "According to New Scientist, astronomers may have potentially discovered dark matter's EM profile (story). For the rest of us, this means astronomers may have just discovered all of the extra force holding the galaxy(-ies) together, which is not currently explainable though gravity and black holes at the center of universes alone. Since dark matter doesn't interact with ordinary matter, it's almost directly undetectable -- but now, physics and astronomy may just have had an awesome breakthrough. Nobel Prize material if it proves correct!"
I, for one, welcome our new dark matters. Er, masters.
In other news, dark matter's IM profile has also been found:
Name: Matter, Dark
Nick: d4rkm4tt3r
Age: ~15 billion years
Likes: Vast emptiness of the cosmos.
Dislikes: Peeping-Tom astronomers.
Bio: I generally keep a low profile, out of sight. Maybe one day, the matter of my dreams will see me for who I really am.
I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it is believed that copious amounts exist in Redmond and at the USPTO.
You are being MICROattacked, from various angles, in a SOFT manner.
And more to the point, how do they find the centers?
You just keep licking them and you eventually get to the centers.
- Hail to our fearless misleader! Fool speed ahead!
Yeah, gotta love it. These are the same people who snort at "intelligent design" but then join SETI@Home because they think they can empirically identify intelligence...
The entrophy value for your message is much, much lower then the maximum it can have for that length. The probability of that occurring by natural chance is very low.
When you figure out how those two sentences are related to your post, you'll understand the SETA@Home people. Enjoy learning. Warning: May be mind expanding.
Which leads to the inevitable conclusion: A 1x10-7 second here, a 1x10-7 second there, sooner or later we're talkin' real time!
To celebrate the occasion of my 1000th post, I will post no more forever on Slashdot. Goodbye.
