Dark Matter Discovered

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the lost-and-found dept.

sebFlyte writes "Wired is reporting that scientists have come up to a solution as to where all the matter in the universe actually is. Experiments being done with Chandra, NASA's X-ray telescope have shown up a likely candidate for the solution of the dark matter problem. There are massive quantities of Baryons in a super-heated gas cloud several hundred million light years away."

  1. WRONG TITLE, Sigh...... by FalconZero · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This should be "Missing Matter Discovered" not "Dark Matter Discovered"
    They HAVE NOT found dark matter, they've found the 'missing matter' as the article says. They have found a clue as to the dark matter, as a result of the discovery.
    Although discovering the dark matter would be much cooler, (yeah I was excited when I read the title).

    [rant] Why is it the only 3 times I've 'emailed the on duty editor' before publishing, I've been ignored and the mistakes gone through?? [/rant]
