Re: APOD: Dark Matter Movie from the Bolshoi... (2011 Oct 03

This video proves nothing whatsoever it is a simulation based upon a fiction, while it is pretty and it does "flow" there is nothing there at all that offers evidence nor a proper explanation of how dark matter and dark energy could exist. Stop the entertainment and begin the process of ga...

A universe of Plasma

99% of all matter in the universe is in a plasma state and yet this is ignored when trying to explain the universe. why?
