PART TWO: Science is on the Verge of Observing Dark Matter

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, plus axions.  Basically, the atmosphere blocks 99.9% of radiati

I will go on to my favorite song #73,
