Extremely interesting. Ever since I was a kid, and first started thinking about this kind of stuff (bearing in mind that there were still believers in the steady state theory, at the time) I figured it made sense that, if the matter "suddenly" expanded ("suddenly" being according to clocks that we, at our gravity level, invented), there should be sort of a broken lattice of particulate matter between galaxies, but no-one i ever discussed the idea with thought it had legs (I was a Physics wallah, before the PC came along, so i had a lot of that kind of discussion). The closest analogy I came up with is the effect you see when you scatter a liquid with a specific surface tension across another liquid with a different surface tension -- but gravity is a lot weaker than surface tension, and the gradient is in temperature, rather than density, so the lattice effect should be more pronounced, out there in the black. That was according to me, at least. Everyone else seemed to be convinced that gravity wells would suck up all but the smallest amounts of particulate mass. But now it looks like I was right all along -- and that a lot of my corollary Ideas that went with it are more likely to be correct (or closer to the money, at least), too. Damn, but I wish I could go back and rub a few people's noses in it. I suppose a bunch of guys who are still in the field will now get famous by coming up with ideas that I had decades ago.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Extremely interesting read. It's amazing how much stuff is out there, leading to the realisation of our insignificance. God particle's existence almost proved, and now dark matter's existence proved. The boffins can now start looking into tele-porting humans more seriously. :)

Come off it Mark. When you were a kid people still thought the Sun went round the Earth :)

I don't think Dark Matter exists - at least in its current form of particles that only interact via gravity. I think that it's more likely that our models are flawed.

Look, I was right about the particulate mass, so I'm right about that, too! Bluddy idjits, building complex mathematical models to try to prove that the Earth goes around the Sun -- Fools, all of them!
