Really? You should not rely on that! You should know how to spell!

& where did I call myself perfect? I simply stated that you should know how to spell. I made no reference to myself in any regard at all, let alone with reference to my alleged perfection!I see you are now calling yourself perfect.:nono: :tongue:

You did. :tongue:
If anything computer software, since it is programmed, should never be wrong. So, AOL's spell checker is to blame.
Well, we can play this game for hours if you want but I didn't in any way refer to myself or imply that I am perfect. Anyway you must have a very narrow definition of perfection if it is based solely on one's ability to spell :tongue:
It's not possible to "view" dark matter- hence the term. A dark matter particle would behave sort of like an "anti" photon. Photons move very fast and when they bump into other particles it causes the release of energy aka. light. The light travels back to the human eye where it is translated in the brain to a 3-d mapping of the objects that the light refracts from.
Dark matter particles move more slowly though and when they encounter photons they bounce off of them. It does release energy, but it releases a very low level of energy that is so far undetectable because it's less than the energy of light, or the energy that the photon is already giving off. The photon doesn't bounce, or refract it's trajectory enough that it's noticeable to the human eye, or to any previously available equipment that detects energy signals.
Dark matter can be indirectly observed or interpreted on the effects of other matter. Any large quantity of particles has a gravity field and the pull of gravity causes space to curve, according to general relativity. The more mass, the greater the curve and so light won't refract off a dark matter field, but it will curve around it. Gravity fields are also sites of high-impact particle collisions, so any site that has a lot of high energy radiation like gamma waves and x-rays is a good indicator of a large mass object. That is how scientists have been able to detect black holes and neutron stars, other "invisible" phenomenon; this is also what led to the theory of dark matter in the first place.
The theory of dark energy is "anti" gravity. The universe seems to have much more energy than it has mass, which is apparently impossible, yet can be viewed simply by it's exponential expansion. Since it's being acted upon by some force that is greater than gravity, it's deduced that it must have a hidden energy and hidden mass.

for dummies, like me, here's a introduction to dark matter (NASA webpage):

PS. I put the word anti in quotation marks to signal that I'm using it in the general way. In scientific terms "anti" means an opposite atomic charge. For example anti-matter is not the opposite of matter, which would be nothing in the general sense. It's an atom that has a (+) electron (positron) and a (-) proton (antiproton), instead of a normal atom that has a (-) electron and a (+) proton charge.
From what I've heard the best theories an what dark matter might be don't have to do with how fast the particles travel or what it absorbs. The best hypothesis at this point are that they are particles that don't interact with the Electromagnetic Force or the Weak Nuclear Force at all. Since they wouldn't interact with the Electromagnetic Force at all that means there is no light they emit, reflect, or refract, and the only ways to infer their existence is through there being more gravity than there should be or if they interact with the Strong Nuclear Force when they smack directly into a nucleus of a baryonic atom and we can somehow separate that out from all the other instances where a particle would smash into a nucleus of an atom.
You know me so well. My father, uncles, brothers, nephews, all of my male friends and co-workers....I'm completely terrified of them
Oh, and the bible....I'm even more afraid of the bible. That book scares me to death :weeping:

what the fuck you lookin at?
mankind will destroy this planet eventually. Dark matter, or some other such bullshit experiment won't be what does it either.

I have said it a zillion times all over the forums....The hadron collider and string theory are the fields/devices that will make the breakthroughs in this kind of science. That is if it doesnt blow the damn planet up lol. Oh yea and the japanese are doing interesting things with particles I am sure it too in its way besides being really neat and making transporters a reality some day will greatly enchance our knowledge of science. Today a particle, Tommorrow a molecule......Inanimate objects.....Organisms....And so fourth
Where do they go? When they do this particle transmission- thats what I am gonna call it lulz
Is it travelling at the speed of night or simultaneously coinhabiting the same space yet not?.....Argh I got a sore head.
