Chandra Provides Support For Dark Energy
starannihilator writes "The Chandra X-Ray Observatory has provided new evidence supporting the existence of dark energy, the force causing the acceleration of universal expansion. The new findings support the theory that the universe will expand forever, provided there is enough dark matter. CNN and Newsday are running the story, originally reported by NASA. Chandra's site has some good images and information on the three galaxies clusters studied (Abell 2029, MS2137.3-2353, and MS1137.5+6625)."

Befora Chandra X-Ray observatory, in a galaxy far far away, the Jedi have already proven the dark side of the force (same as dark energy) and controlled it.

Does this mean that there's a little creature with a voracious appetite pooping in space?
This just in: Israel helicopter gunship kills 10 Palenstinians at demonstration.
... that all Dark Matter comes from the feces of the Nibblonians. Each pound of which weights over ten thousand pounds. Therefore, if there is this much Dark Matter, Dark Energy must exist to cause the expansion of the universe.
Why are you left-wing whingers - particularly here in Europe - so concerned about the palestinians anyway?
Israel is the only democracy in the middle-east and they are God's chosen people. Palestinians are just reaping the results of working against God's will and worshipping pagan gods.
hmm.. flamebait huh, sheesh, guess I should have just posted a comment about powering a beowulf cluster...
