Physicists attack cosmological model

Many astronomers believe that the universe is dominated by cold 'dark matter' and 'dark energy' - a view that has been confirmed by recent measurements on the cosmic background radiation. Now, however, a group of astrophysicists in the UK has found that this radiation - the microwave 'echo' of the big bang - may in fact have been modified or 'corrupted' as it passed through galaxy clusters on its way to Earth. The result could undermine previous evidence for both dark matter and energy (Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 347 L67; arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0306180)

Have Fun,

Hmmm .... very interesting indeed. I have never been much of a fan of tihs "dark energy" thing, seems likea cop out to me!

next epicycles will make a comeback !!! ;). it is an easy way to hide what you don't know / understand or can't explain.

Sounds much like my photons at rest: Hubble photon mass at rest = 5.81e-66/9e16 ?

Somewhere in between there's a few points of null, hosting nearly zilch worth of atons and thereby insufficient atomic Oort zones to pass off and/or conduct those spiffy little photons along.

"your" photons at rest? Oh goddie, please provide a refernence to the paper this was published in, I cant find a reference to your name in arxiv.

Good grief, I've been e-publishing my notions on this topic for months, and it's partly if not entirely of how I unintentionally managed to break irishastronomy.org in the first place.

I almost busted NASA's "uplink.space.com" a few months ago over the same sort of topic.

If you're stipulating that my notions are similar, that's about all I have at this time, unless you'd like to get me into another one of my rants about the nature of astronomy and physics types that would just as soon eat their own kind as to allow something to slip out that had not been thoroughly moderated to death by your mainstream status quo.

If you're stipulating that my "photon at rest" isn't worth JACK, that's fine too, though I'd like to learn something of why you're thinking that way.
