So, dark matter is seeming more and more real. In fact, last year
folks found evidence for "ghost galaxies" made mainly of dark matter
and cold hydrogen, with very few stars:

This is probably a very ignorant remark,
but I thought the latest theory was that "dark matter" was not actually matter,
but was accounted for by the re-habilitation of the constant
in Einstein's equation?

Or was that last week's theory?



Dark Energy--Not Dark Matter.
