SciELO .org

"Scientific Electronic Library Online".

At the link below, Wikipedia gives an explanation of the site referred to above.  I tried putting a link to the site, but it doesn't work for some reason.  The best way to get to their site is to click on the link below, then over on the right, under "Links", it says, "Website".  Click on that, and it will take you right to the SciELO site:

Dark Matter...........

Wikipedia says:  It is matter that is a "hypothetical" kind of matter that cannot be seen with telescopes but accounts for most of the matter in the universe.

"Dark matter has not been detected directly..." which makes it a big mystery of the universe, Wikipedia says.

If they believe in Dark Matter, then why can't they believe in God?

I need to study this further:

Dark Matter Wikipedia


Fritz Zwicky

First gave the idea of Dark Matter:

Dark Energy.....

...Is an unknown form of energy that is "hypothesized to permeate all of space".  That's what Wikipedia says.

"Energy Balls"

This looks like a bunch of good ideas for yummy things to eat!

I don't necessarily care for the advertising that pops up as I scroll down, but it goes away as I scroll up or down again.

I'm saving this here for later.   : )  Besides the energy balls recipes, it looks like a site that I might be interested in checking out.
