I sat down this morning to do my blog and could not think of a thing to say.  As this is Wednesday, sci-tech day for this site, I thought I'd do my yearly Dark Energy/Dark Matter summary, to determine if we are any closer to identifying what they really are.   But first, about Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, some additional trouble is brewing.   Remarked Elon Musk: “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a  disgusting abomination ,” the world’s richest man   posted on X . “Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.” Among those agreeing with Musk was a member of that first grouping, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who   responded  on social media: “I agree with Elon. We have both seen the massive waste in government spending, and we know another $5 trillion in debt is a huge mistake. We can and must do better.” Mind you, a week ago I indicated that...

The search for dark matter is occurring using telescopes and  underground laboratories.  Hundreds of PhDs using expensive telescopes and laboratories are devoting their life to this subject.  If you read my blog yesterday, you can appreciate their dedication gazing into outer space of and ruminating into the unknown. Dark Matter in space is being searched by 400 researchers from 25 centers in seven countries.   They recently reported on the results of looking at 226 million galaxies and thousands of supernova explosions.    A new dark matter map has been created by the   Dark Energy Survey .  Their conclusion is that the cosmos is more mysterious than they earlier imagined.  A pleasant way of saying that they have yet to prove the existence of Dark Matter.  But they now have a better map. The XENON project is a collaboration of over 160 scientists  mostly attempting to detect WIMPs, or Weakly Interacting Massive Particles,...
