Dwarf galaxy lurking just outside Milky Way

nibru. I thought this would get some people excited. It shall hopefully be an interesting area to explore in the future. Maybe we can learn about dark matter and who knows what could be hiding in there.

I think this farytale isn't science. Inventing absurtities like dark matter & dark energy to correct a flaw in math...is about as usefull as saying God did it. The math are clearly wrong...find out why don't dream fantasy ..otherwise you arm the religious

Does anyone know the diffence betwee so called dark matter and anti matter. It is hard to believe in such.Is it just a mathematical anomally.

nibru. Which one, the Babylonian, the Sithin-ian, the collision (a little far from us to happen in 2012 being 260 000 light years away) or the game "secrets of the ages"?

nibru. *Sigh* It was only a matter of time before someone brought that up. It's an interesting article, I hope we can learn more about it who knows what's lurking in there and right on our doorstep too. Would it be possible to probe in the near future?

It's so much fun how the unknowns of the universe allow for mystery to exist. Imo, dark matter is the yin and yang of the universe to all that we currently understand, and I believe it will be many more years before we're impacted directly by any unknown forces that may exist in another galaxy. After december 21st 2012 comes and passes, we can start looking towards the next event horizon. Apophis 2036?

Does anyone know the diffence betwee so called dark matter and anti matter. It is hard to believe in such.Is it just a mathematical anomally. Anti matter is the opposite of matter. So an electron and it's opposite, a positron are the same but have different charges. Same with a proton and neutron. Dark matter is theoretically the thing that makes up a vast percentage of the universe, depending on where you get your information from, don't know much about it's make up.

The math are clearly wrong...find out why don't dream fantasy ..otherwise you arm the religious Do you believe all matter is visible? It's not just a flaw in math, BTW. There's plenty of other observations that back up it's existence. Dark matter was postulated by Fritz Zwicky in 1934 to account for evidence of "missing mass" in the orbital velocities of galaxies in clusters. Subsequently, other observations have indicated the prese... [More]

It seems to me that before dark matter was discovered theorists didn't neede it in their explanations of the evolution of the universe after the big bang. Since dark matter has been detected its existence is crucial to the formation of the universe as we observe it. I'm wondering, in a multiverse, would every universe contain dark matter, and would it exist in the same proportion to other kinds of matter as we observe it in our universe? This is another finely-tuned variable we need to add to all the others that enable a universe like ours to exist. As an aside, what is the purpose of dark ene... [More]

there is a good program on the discovery channel called 'how the universe works' episode - Galaxies explains the past, present and future of the milky way and its local group. good watch. the entire series can be downloaded from ez.tv scroll for the program http://eztv.it/shows/81/discovery-channel/
