A New Meaning for Dark Matter?

Even though conclusive evidence proves dark matter does exist, it hasn't been quite the boon to cosmologists and physicists as you might expect.

In fact, the revelation has given pause to more than a few scientists about a universe that's surprisingly much more complex than they ever realized.

One in which about 4 percent is made of the kind of matter our world, the countless galaxies beyond it and ourselves are made of. The rest, scientists believe, is dark, as in unknowable now and perhaps forever.

This could mean what you see in the clear night sky is merely an infinitesimal part of the entire universe and that we're nowhere near the center of it. Perhaps, it's another indication that attempting to apply conventional wisdom -- as modern medicine so often erroneously does to health -- is just as faulty.

If you want to read something really thought provoking, try  

http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/column.php?id=89466

It's an article by Jay Alfred about how scientists using NASA's "Chandra" X-ray observatory have detected a vast network of hot plasma gas streams that transfer energy and momentum between galaxies and form a web-like pattern that resembles the energy meridians within the human body.  They calculate that these cosmic energy "filaments" contain 5x more mass (dark matter) than all the stars in the universe. The author refers to this energy web as the "subtle body" of the cosmos, similar to the subtle body of meridians utilized in acupuncture therapy in humans.

macrocosm = microcosm?
cosmological body = biological body?

Several years ago, I was shown a plotted three dimensional (super computer crunched) map, or graphic representation, of the the known universe (approximately 13.8 million light years at the time), thus far charted. 

The result was an unmistakable sketch (though clearly incomplete) of an anatomically correct human brain, cerebral cortex, and partial spine, made up of each of these points of light, we call 'galaxies'.

I do not know if the chart is posted somewhere on the internet, but it was indeed empirically derived, and not some urban, or cosmic legend.

The source that showed it to me is an eminent astro-cosmologist who's reputation is beyond any reproach.

No, we had not had too much to drink, at the time, and both of us are drug free (and always where).

Coincident, and dutiful observation, sometimes, not always, becomes reality.

Just goes show - things aren't always what they seem.
Just like modern medicine!

Modern medicine is getting to be a lot like a black hole.
Lots of money goes in and little good comes out :-)

Finally!…Someone has shone some light on this dark matter controversy!

Hello all.
I have some info since 2004 of a phenomenon called Super Light. -
Our light is a part of the electro-magnetic spectrum and has a speed of 300,000 km/sec. We have not even attained this speed in space travel yet!
However, this Super Light is a part of the magneto-electric spectrum and has a speed  ten billion times the speed of light. This phenomenon passes right through everything and actually causes gravity. -
Since it is of the opposite 'polarity' to our light, it neutralizes light and therefore everything of the electro-magnetic spectrum is no longer visible. This also explaines 'black holes'. -
It is postulated, that this Super Light is sent into space by stars, not unlike our sun sending light, that generate this magneto-electric energy, which of course is more concentrated the closer light gets to them. This then snuffs out, or absorbs, the electro-magnetic energy. -

If energy is unable to be created and before the beginning of the universe all the energy existed as matter, that is E=m, then the universe must have been without any c2 or 2-dimensional energies. c2 describes a frequency or light, a vibration which is heat, a rate of expansion which is growth, the radii squared of a circle and acceleration. As there are more of these energies in the universe today than there was in the beginning then this is where the "missing" 3-dimensional mass energy has gone?
As the rate of expansion of the universe continues, the universe becomes "lighter" and it is impossible for dark matter to exist?
Spiral galaxies are just a vortex and vortexes exist to make homogeneous mixtures. As the universe expands matter is "pulled" apart to fill up the empty space created by the ever expanding universe, Nature abhours a vaccuum. Radioactive decay were heavier elements are broken down to lighter elements and light, are just one aspect of this phenomena?
The alleged "dark matter" in black holes is the opposite. Black holes are a vacuum.
So, once again, the "experts" and those in authority have got it wrong.

Read Mark McCutcheon's book The Final Theory and see what he says on page 333 about Albert Einstein's theory. The rest of the book is worth reading, too. Carol.
