Another cool article

All I can say is WOW!

Neat!

Now, what I'd really like to hear is a theory about how dark matter affects "normal" matter. If these large, hot, fast-moving particles are whizzing around the galaxy, what happens when they collide with the things we can see? It must happen often if there's so much dark matter.

yet, us humanoids are still not able to get along with each other. shame!

Yes, I am anxious to hear more about Dark Matter and how it affects things. Seems like I remember the article talking about scientists are putting sensor equipment at the bottom of mines so they can record the effects of dark matter. So this may mean that the dark matter particles probably pass trough normal matter. It was suggesting a connection between gravity and dark matter. It is all very exciting information.

Unfortunately or fortunately (depending on the perspective), it is natural to not get along and be competitive, but in the grander scheme of things, can co-exist in the same environment. We see the same thing with the other species and their (sub species) of animals. Certainly dogs and wolves wouldn't easily get along neither would a house cat and a lion.
