Good bye Dark Matter, Hello General Relativity

Posted by Hemos on from the all-einstein-quotes-you-know-are-wrong dept.

dr. loser writes "The CERN newsletter reports that a new paper by scientists at the University of Victoria has demonstrated that one of the prime observational justifications for the existence of dark matter can be explained without any dark matter at all, by a proper use of general relativity! What does this imply for cosmology and particle physics, both of which have been worrying about other aspects of dark matter?"

    What would you do with a GPL scientific paper -- change some things and put your own name on it?
    Using psychoanalysis one determines that is the first thing that YOU thought of. That makes you the dick.

    What would I do with a GPL paper? Probably nothing, maybe share it with some friends without worrying about the RIAA breathing down my neck. I was noting that all walks of life have GPL connections. Pity you had to go make a snide remark about it.

    Um.. define "the best"?
    The "Truth"?
    The "most elegent"?
    The "one that my mind can most willingly accept"?

    Nature's way.

    The "one that majority of scientists can most willingly accept"?

    This one I don't know.
