Most of the stuff I have seen about dark matter has shown it in interaction with ordinary matter, a halo of it around a galaxy would be one example, not seen anything suggesting that it exists in large amount's in the interstellar void, however seeing that we can only infer it's existence from it's ...

By extra gravitational observations do you mean dark matter? or something else, even the voids between Galaxy's is packed with all kind's of crap.

Didn't realise the space thread had moved over here! what is in flat space? never had any instruments there. Maybe dark matter (i fell dirty just suggesting it exist) is a intrinsic phenomenon of flat space between the stars, Flat space is a description of the geometry of the universe rather than of...

It landed on the platform at too high a speed and "hit hard" as SpaceX put it, at least they hit the target, I'm waiting for them to release some video of it.

All good stuff! have a look at this http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/science/xdf.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; it's called the eXtreme Deep Field if you click the link below the first image on the page you can download the .tif file and zoom into the picture u...

That's pretty much correct, it's the only "particle" that does not posses mass it does however posses an energy level and frequency, for example a Red photon only has 1.8eV of energy while a high frequency Gamma photon may in fact have hundreds of thousands (>100KeV). Now this is were the ...

Not wiggling out of anything ben, I'm big enough to admit when I don't know the answer to what is a very difficult question, I have a rough idea and a very simplistic explanation in my mind (as I suspect you have) that I tried to write down but it made no sense so I gave up but a definitive answer, ...

You are getting into quantum mechanics now so it's going to get a bit counter intuitive, you can't cut an atom in half like you could something like a billiard ball all you can do is either move it around or using high energies break it apart in something like a particle accelerator. A photon is a d...

As I understand it very little information escapes a black hole at the event horizon (I will know more next week), the pictures that you see of jet's of matter firing out from rotating black holes are actually caused by the accretion disk and the friction between the particles in the disk, strong ma...

hawkings radiation?

gonna let a black hole whisper sweet nothing in your year

heh! one way of describing it, apparently it's going to be heavy on the math side so I can't say I'm looking forward to it, might have to give the wake and bake a miss that day.
