I would be interested to read what peoples' views are on this subject. What is dark matter? What does it mean in terms of the formation of the universe? Anything really that people want to throw into the pot.
This film seems to question the scientific authority on how the universe was formed by the big bang because of the strange effects of dark matter and dark energy and the contradictions that this implies as to the accepted view of the big bang.
Anyway see what you think.
this is also another useful link to the science of dark matter if you have the ability to read such stuff to the end without falling asleep! http://www.eclipse.net/~cmmiller/DM/

quote: Just like stars get together in galaxies, the galaxies get together in clusters of galaxies of up to several thousand galaxies. The astrophysicist Signe Riemer-Sørensen, PhD student at the Niels Bohr Institute, has analysed two clusters of galaxies that collide.
quote: Observations indicate that the dark matter can be a new and still undetected type of particle. Among the suggestions for the dark matter, are particles that when they decay they emit x-ray. One is the so called axions that are particles which is explained in theories with extra dimensions.
quote: Baer explained that dark matter is believed to exist in the form of tiny particles that do not interact with light. Because they don't emit or reflect electromagnetic radiation the way atomic, or baryonic, matter does, these dark matter particles haven't been directly observed. However, scientists have long theorized their existence based on their gravitational effects on visible matter throughout the universe.
Looking at the first clip, I had to ask myself 'How do they know these events don't represent the effects of the alignment of the center of rotation of the system(s) being as they stated then we are in effect seeing an end view parallel to the axis of rotation. Therefore we would expect higher gravitation flux or field density correspondingly?
