Astronomers' Doubts About The Dark Side : Errors in Big Bang Data Larger than thought
I was just checking out " Science Daily " and saw this - http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/06/10061322708.htm

Dark matter is a fact, it has been proven to exist by observation. As it looks, there is a ghost world alongside this one.
So I don't understand why suddenly dark matter is questioned. Does it mean that in astronomy left hand doesn't know what right hand is doing?
Says the man who does NOT support chemtrails and bigfoot, but supports sustainable economy, ecology, science, politics and human rights.
My own investigation gave out a suggestion, that dark matter can be explained in string theory, as equivalent of our matter. It occupies the same dimension, time, and space with us, it's physical. But there is a range in amplitude of the vibrating string. Our dense matter occupies the lower half of this range, the lesser amplitudes, and dark matter's strings reside in higher amplitudes.
As a result, the structure of dark matter is loose. It's atoms bond on much greater distances through bigger electron orbitals and do not bond with more dense, more spatially concentrated atoms and particles of our physical matter. Our matter is not solid, not from the view of majority of the universe, that is composed of cosmic radiation and dark matter.
To get some exact scientific idea, I am pretty sure that this can be easily simulated in computer that has programmed string theory and M-theory. Hell, whole universe can be simulated like that, from elementary particles, through atom-atom interaction, to Big bang simulation.
So where's the problem? Switch on your attention experts, and give some rational response. Usually when I come with something that might be coherent enough to get a point across, it meets with deafening silence. I know there are astronomers on this forum. If you don't know, admit that and forward it to some specialist colleague of yours.

Lumi, did you retype it? You can't easily lose a character (the "1" ....06/100613212708.htm if you copy and paste. Just curious. And you should check that the link works after you post it, especially if with such a link with a longish number in it like that.

Lumi, the tag under the video on the source page at http://home.slac.stanford.edu/pressreleases/2006/20060821.htm is
"This simulation shows the separation of dark matter (blue) from luminous matter (red) in the bullet cluster, then rotates the result for a 360-degree view."
At the speed those clusters were moving (10 million mph), it would have taken them 10 million years to travel a distance equivalent to the diameter of one average galaxy, such as ours.
The dark matter was not visible at any wavelength, which is of course why is called 'dark'.
The location of the dark matter was calculated by many measurements:
So Dark Matter does not represent some kind of parallel universe, it is part of our universe, has mass, and interacts with ordinary matter gravitationally, just not with photons.

Well , I would have to say that the problem is, that when ever there is a paradigm shift in our way of understanding nature it automatically has people that believe in the old ways,trying to convince people that it is the right way of understanding nature.So the problem is that people hang on to what they think they know.

Mild woops - I was thinking when I was was typing that post, after tracking down correct link, that it was one of the ones Luminon had posted.
