Out of the Dark

Dark Matter... in the Dark Sector...



An article on Wired talks about how physicists are now looking at alternatives to the prevalent assumptions regarding Dark Matter. Instead of being small objects that only interact with normal matter through gravity, and with themselves not-at-all, they might just be complex objects that do interact with themselves in complex ways- much like the objects that make up our periodic table and galaxies.

Aside from being fascinating, this means we will have to discover and learn a new periodic table... a Dark periodic table. 

I'm glad I already passed chemistry in college.
