Scientists Expand Knowledge of Dark Matter

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the lighter-shade-of-grey dept.

nife00 writes "BBC News is reporting that British scientists at Cambridge have expanded the current understanding of the mysterious particles known as dark matter." According to the article: "[The Cambridge Team] has at last been able to place limits on how it is packed in space and measure its "temperature". "It's the first clue of what this stuff might be," said Professor Gerry Gilmore. "For the first time ever, we're actually dealing with its physics," he told the BBC News website."

    So you are wondering something very strange. We can't understand quantum entanglement the same way that we can't understand multi-dimensional spaces and newtonian mechanics.

    If you think that we can understand newtoninan mechanics better than quantum, try to explain me why stuff insist to fall (not how, why).

    And turing complete is turing complete. Brain capacity don't really matter this much when dealing with math (maybe to make things faster).
