This August 2008 image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory show a clear separation
between dark and ordinary matter during a clash 5.7 billion light years from Earth.

European astronomers said on Wednesday that an anomalous energy signal detected by an orbiting satellite
could be a telltale of the enigmatic substance known as dark matter.

"anomalous energy signal detected by an orbiting satellite"

Maybe dark matter is made out of Irridium ... at at least that's what the orbiting satellite detected.

‘dark matter’ eh?

I think they just detected that usurping little dark smudge in the Oval Office, that’s all.

I suspect dark matter is really a miscalculation; the missing matter is in super massive black hoes.

My own belief is the missing “mass” is due to an incomplete understanding of space itself.

If space is to energy as energy is to mass, then the missing mass can be found by adjusting for inconsitently dense space.

IOW, space is lumpy or crystaline-like in structure.

I liked the "X Files" episode called "Soft Light":
An ex-student of Scully’s asks the agents to help her with her first investigation concerning a number of disappearances with very few clues. Mulder ponders the idea of spontaneous human combustion but rethinks it when they find a man who is afraid of his own shadow. The man is Dr. Banton, a scientist researching dark matter. Due to an accident Dr. Banton's shadow can split an individual's atomic structure causing them to disappear, with only a charred-like remnant remaining where they stood. He is now convinced that the government is after him and Mulder contacts Mr. X, who declines to help him, and it is later revealed that he has his own agenda to pursue.
