If it was a problem with the large size of galaxies, the error would be proportional to the size of the galaxy. Calculations show that ordinary matter consistently makes up around 1/5 of the matter needed to account for the gravitation. That is an error factor of 400%. To somehow assume that just because mass is gathered in something we call galaxies it suddenly follows completely different equations that consistently gives the same error, is much more unreasonable than the existence of dark matter imo.
Also, there are other independent proofs that result in almost exactly same amount of dark matter.
The shape of the cosmic microwave background radiation and the ratio between the different elements in the universe(like H, He) are also proofs of dark matter.
The fact that the amount of dark matter needed to make the behaviour of galaxies make sense is in almost perfect agreement with the above observations is indeed very strong evidence for the existence of dark matter.
That they should somehow by mistake all add up to the same amount of dark matter(about 22%) is insanely unlikely.
Anyway, the article was on dark energy, which is a different matter.:p
The solar charger most likely cost more energy to produce than you'll ever save charging your phone.
It's great for when you're walking across Australia, not so great for saving the world.
Young padawan? Really?
Okay, so I should probably have said it made just enough sense not to be funny.
Quantum memory is not a reinvention of DRAM, unless you really don't know what you're talking about. In which case I do see the connection.
Hence; not really stupid, not really silly and not really funny.
Even combining all the computing power in the world the sun will have become a red giant and burned all life from this planet before you have broken a 256 bit AES key by brute force.
Actually, it is neither. Teleportation is a bad name.
The point is basically that you can transmit qubits using EPR pairs and classical bits. It is information theoretically interesting, but no "beem me up, scotty".
Stop running in circles and hoping I will get confused.
I didn't discuss the existence of an unmeasurable god, I said that discussing the existence of things that cannot be measured is absurd.
Also, the elephant was meant as a joke, I don't think science is flawed.
This is becoming a serious waste of time, so I'll leave it at that.
I'm sorry, I don't really follow you. Are you saying that it is likely that out of 400 there is somewhere between 190 and 210 below average? In which case I agree.
I rarely see "most probable outcome" used as the understanding of likely, but if you think that's what he meant, then okay. Let's just agree to disagree on that.
Easy to find examples where the "most probable outcome" is so unlikely it will never happen in your lifetime, even if you repeated every second.
But hey, nice of you to make all your arguments and then say I cannot reply, because you don't wanna debate it.
Well, at least I agree, bye.
I don't, I just say it is absurd to discuss it.
There's a huge pink elephant on my desk. However, it is invisible and does not interact with the world in any way. Whenever there is something science cannot explain, the default explanation is that the pink elephant did it. Science is fundamentally flawed because it is unable to discuss the existence of my pink elephant.

I guess, in the future, they'll just question random people on Slashdot instead of doing actual studies.
Well, sometimes something that seems 'obvious' turn out to be wrong, which is why we have science.
In 2001: "I don't see many sales in the future of iPod. ~LoudMusic" Maybe you should stop trying to predict the future, man.
You clearly haven't attempted to read a cricket rulebook.

Of course he didn't do research. Words can't be trusted. I'm pretty he did the responsible thing and looked it up in his gut.
He didn't say Obama was MLK. He said Obama was MLKs dream come true.

Charging it would certainly destroy any quantum information. What you need is a quantum computer to do error correction every 1 sec or so.

Hahaha... Usually they are either funny, stupid or silly. This just didn't make sense.
Worst first post on slashdot, ever?
Security by assuming nobody can tap into your communication channel is terrible security practice. If wireless is not secure, neither is cable.
Even combining all the computing power in the world the sun will have become a red giant and burned all life from this planet before you have broken a 256 bit AES key by brute force.
"cracking RADIUS" is two words.
Are you seriously claiming that secure wireless communication is impossible?
Actually, it is neither. Teleportation is a bad name. The point is basically that you can transmit qubits using EPR pairs and classical bits. It is information theoretically interesting, but no "beem me up, scotty".
Here people seem to think they know everything about anything.
Real nano would be cool. To be in a state where you have both scored and not scored at the same time.

You meet 4 people. The probability that exactly 2 of them are below average intelligence is (about) 37.5%.
