  4. Does Bill feel guilty on Billions Donated to Charity · · Score: 1

    Do you thing all Bills ruthless business practices have guilt tripped him in to starting Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. If Bill had done good all thought his buisness life then what would be the need for the Foundation, he could have just retired feeling good, but no. Could this be the start of proprietary charitys where Bill exercises private ownership, control or use over an item of property, usually to the exclusion of other parties. Personally i would not trust Bill or any thing that came out of his corner. Bill fancy a UFC fight as i would love to mount you and punch/smash you face in, until the canvas shows, now that would be some charity work.

    Dark Matter that is in space but is not visible to us because it emits no radiation by which to observe it.
    The motion of stars around the centers of their galaxies implies that about 90% of the matter in a typical galaxy is dark.
    Physicists speculate that there is also dark matter between the galaxies but this is harder to verify.

    Must agree anything that has a big deviation is hardly a constant with value that doesn't change.

    Is Dark Matter politically correct, should it be called 'Hidden Matter' spooky thought at distance...
