Came across this intereseting news article today, It got me thinking… Isn’t ‘dark matter’ like what people used to call “ether” way back when.
Certainly there is some event/mathematics that cannot be yet explained. Just like before all of the chemical elements were discovered, there was this ‘Ether’ stuff that people believed floated around and was responsible for say example ‘light travelling through no medium’.
Of course ‘Dark Matter’ seems to be a more ‘Sci-Fi’ type term, but I figure eventually, once a new way of accounting for these observable events is explained..Dark Matter will remain in ‘Sci-Fi’ realm…of course I might have thought that about ‘anti-mattter’ too !
