The results come from astronomical observations of a titanic collision between two clusters of galaxies 5.7 billion light-years away.
Astronomers detected the dark matter because it separated from the normal matter during the cosmic smash-up.
The research team are to publish their findings in the Astrophysical Journal..."

The biggest things we don't understand,nor the smallest, and what we are trying to understand it with we can't figure out either...I think its cool that GOD sets up some cool boundaries and allows us to learn little by little.

Wow. To imagine that there are things that exist that we can't see or that science and man hasn't figured it all out.
What a quaint concept

The fact that dark matter does not slow down in the collision supports a view that dark matter particles interact with each other only very weakly or not at all (when one excludes their gravitational interaction).
Just goes to show that there is still a lot about the Universe still to be understood.
