- Dark Matter (Space.com - Weinstock)
"Eighty-four years after Albert Einstein introduced the world to his theory of general relativity, scientists are seeing that he was right all along about measuring what we now call dark matter."
"Astronomers supported by the National Science Foundation have found the first evidence of an effect called cosmological shear, a phenomenon predicted by Einstein’s theory, in which light from distant cosmic objects bends due to gravitational forces. What’s more, the detection of cosmological shear has allowed astronomers to track down significant amounts of dark matter, non-luminous matter whose presence in the universe has been predicted, but scantly detected until now." 12-03
- Dark Matter (Space.com)
Discusses and shows the distribution of dark matter in the universe, a substance out of which most of the universe may be made. 11-00
- Dark Matter (Wikipedia.org)
"Dark matter is matter that can't be detected by its emitted radiation but whose presence can be inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter such as stars and galaxies." 10-04
- Dark Matter May Reveal Extra Dimensions in the Universe (Nature.com)
"Welcome to the fourth dimension. And the fifth, and the sixth. A team of astrophysicists claims to have identified evidence that space is six-dimensional." 9-05
