"Dark matter, a mysterious substance" that keeps the standard model of cosmology from being laughed out of the room.
See all those pretty spiral galaxies in all the pretty pictures? Not enough detectable mass there to keep them from flying apart as they spin - so some mysterious "invisible" mass was needed to keep careers intact. And of course it was found. Theoretically found that is.

I’d conclude that they call it “dark” matter merely because it’s not visible. As a Believer, I think that, if dark matter is anything, it is the physical manifestation of what is declared about Christ in Colossians Chapter 1. HE, is holding the entire Creation together. Check Colossians 1 online to get the entire picture.

I think 99.99% of the universe is made up of stuff we can’t touch, see, smell, or detect in any way. We can’t talk about it or even think about it. We can’t even name it. Or remember it. In fact, by tomorrow no one will remember this post. As “stuff” it is as close to not existing as any stuff could be. That’s how elusive it is. Where’s my proof? Are you kidding? This stuff cannot be proven to exist. That’s probably its only real property. Equations pass right through it. Now where’s my Nobel? Before we forget.

So astrophysics is more like climate “science” now. Just photoshop together some image based on a theory. Cool.

They used gravitational lensing of light sources “behind” the two galaxies to determine where the dark matter is.
Dark matter has gravity, too, because it is matter.
They compared the degree of lensing caused by the two galaxies against the lensing caused by the dark matter, and they drew a map.
Seems pretty straight forward to me.
Gathering the data also seems like a significant technical achievement to me, too.
To: Red Badger
Amazing and yet it could all be nonsense and I wouldn’t know the difference. That’s why I popped in to see what smarter FReepers think.
