Missing mass:
The missing mass is not really missing anymore. We know how much of it there is, where it is, and what it is not (!), just not what it is. It comes in two forms: dark energy and dark matter. Dark matter is clumpy, non-baryonic, non-interacting (at least with normal matter, except via gravity) stuff. Without it, galaxies, galaxy clusters, and larger structures probably would not have formed. Dark energy is stranger stuff. It may or may not be related to the cosmological constant or to the vacuum energy. Dark energy is a pervasive, evenly distributed, massless, but anti-gravitating thing. (It's equation of state is near P = - pho: pressure equal to the negative of the density.) Our current understanding comes largly from the fabulous WMAP microwave anisotropy data.
EM radiation:
If there were *lots* more high energy EM radiation in our vacinity, we would have detected it, not directly, but through similar mechanisms to cosmic ray shower production in the atmosphere.
I find Konqueror underperforms (compared to Mozilla) in some web-browsing aspects. For example, layout can be a problem. But I use Konqueror almost exclusively anyway. When I run into a problem, I simply use the "Location"->"Open with Mozilla" command.
I do not use a file browser locally, but often navigate directories or look at source code remotely. The rich feature set (e.g. syntactical highlighting of source code, support for smb) won me over.
