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."

    C'mon, every kid knows that the dryer eats some of them regularly.

    However, there is a way to ease the loss: Always buy the same kind of socks in the same color so you at least don't have to deal with "singles".
