Dark matter

Went out for a run last night and spent most of my time looking at a beautiful night sky in all directions. Somehow I didn't fall over, even when looking straight up at the Milky Way.

But anyway, caught some interesting news about an idea to detect dark matter (if it happens to be of a specific type). May be interesting.

Interesting.

Oops, I should have checked existing forums prior to creating a new one. I will read the article now.

Fascinating. Perhaps the idea of the interior of stars as being "fluid" is a good topic to bring up in the general notes, as I doubt many folks are familiar with fluid dynamics at all, or even that a gas, to a physicist, is a fluid. I had read about oscillating stars before, but this is tantalizing. Keep us posted. I will redirect my new Dark Energy / Dark Matter forum here for discussion of the latter, if that's cool.
