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."

  1. Smoke? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I think they should smoke this dark matter, maybe they'll be more convincing (or happier)! This dark matter is totally illogical, it does not make the minimum sense! This stuff continually pops up just becuase nobody is yet able to explain what's going on. When some new Einstein will discover it we will throw away this stupid stuff that is totally crap and nonsense. I'd add also some incredible things like the Big Bang. Who is ever so stupid to believe that all the matter in the universe can be shrinked in a point in space an time? This is NONSENSE. Don't believe these people, they try to answer big questions without even the minumum common sense.
