Israeli scientists solve mystery of ‘dark matter’ – A group of Israeli scientists have cracked a riddle of the universe that has been vexing researchers for years.
Dark matter – the stuff that seems to comprise most of the matter in the universe – is very mysterious because it appears to be absent from some galaxies. But it is there after all.
Dekel and scientists on his team performed computer simulations of the mergers in which elliptical galaxies were formed and found that these processes could produce stars in elongated orbits that move slowly – even when the dark matter is present.
I was terrified that some galaxiesd might not have dark matter. This article will help me sleep better at night.
While the article is very interesting, “solve the mystery of ‘dark matter'” is a bit strong. They’ve just come up with a computer model that supports its possible existence in eliptical galaxies.
Good work and an interesting article. But proof it’s not.
Besides, I thought that everybody already knew that Nibblonians produce dark matter.

In the beginning, dark matter was separated from light and was called night. Does that sound familiar?
