Astronomers Make Important Dark Matter Discovery
saudadelinux writes "To quote a press release on NASA's site, astronomers using the Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered 'how dark and normal matter have been forced apart in an extraordinarily energetic collision.' There will be a briefing at noon, August 21 ET, on this discovery, with streaming media provided by NASA, and some details of the research posted on Harvard's Chandra site just beforehand."
Now dark and normal matter will be one big family again, obviously with court supervision.
Not at all. It's got plenty of mass, it's just dark.
Humans, at least alive ones, are not at zero degrees K, and therefore radiate energy, not much, but some. We might be said to be dim matter.

init 11 - for when you need that edge.
As long as NASA doesn't try to measure DM in metric units, everything should go just fine.

Due to recent events at NASA, we'd appreciate everyone helping out by recording the stream of the event, and puttting it... well somewhere you can find it later.
Cool! Now I can get started on my warp engine!

We like to refer to it as "matter of color."

Isn't this what a light bulb absorbs till it's full, and then you must throw it away?
