Scientists Expand Knowledge of Dark Matter

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."

Personally, I see this as something of a continuing pattern for the Bush Republicans. Attacking those who disagree with them (whether it be in the Middle East or NASA) is more important than learning the truth (whether it be WMDs or general science.

And let's just call this what it is. The Republicans are engaging in religious censorship -- not just in one of the heartlands of science but just about anywhere in society that they can get their fingers.

The answer to bad speech is more speech. The answer to truth is suppression.

Why are you investigating these questions when the answer to each is obviously 'because that's the way Jesus wants it'?
