and what do you mean by the black hole,there are numerous black holes. Gee whiz, Max! You don't recognize a bit of burlesque! I bet you are the only one out there who did not. Lighten up, lad! As to your understanding of this issue, let me only suggest that you hit the books for awhile. Black holes are very much in the forefront of this search for exotic mass. Nucleosynthesis suggests that the universe is filled with either invisible baryons or with non baryonic mass. I am not aware of any recent discoveries in this field that would indicate even a plausible line of attack. There are posters on this thread who are more leading edge, who can perhaps assist us in this, but the dismal truth right now is that scientists are in the dark. what do you mean by the center of our universe,do you mean by that the one picayune galaxy that happen to occupy or vast vast multitude of galaxies? I mean all the multitudinous galaxies that we know about, and all the ones that we don't. This would include all the conjectures of multi-dimensionality, string theory, etc. As you were not aware that my response to you was burlesque, I suggest (kindly) that you simply do not trouble yourself with these flights of fancy. <But what is the point of my trying to explain this to people who won't listen?!> with that remark you are revealing much about yourself,enough to realize you indeed are someone NOT to listen to----max Oh, I get it, Max! You thought I was seriously proposing (and presumably preparing to demonstrate) that the mother of all black holes was draining this swamp that we protozoa play in. Next time I will try to leave more clues for you. In the meantime, I am sorry to have offended your serious sensibilities. Give yourself a smile--:)

In case you have a serious interest. CF and I were discussing this theory a few months back. You might find it very interesting. It might even sugest to you some clues for your pursuit of the missing mass... cosmiccommode.com

Max, you might be interested in this story from today's NYT. Dark matter has a new friend, it appears. Photo Gives Weight to Einstein's Thesis of Negative Gravity nytimes.com Cosmologists will have to cope with a universe that seems increasingly filled with mysterious stuff that scientists cannot see and do not fully understand. The dark energy joins dark matter as an invisible constituent of the cosmos. Dark matter's gravitational effects are known, and despite its invisibility it is presumed to give the universe much of its mass. Physicists will try to explain the source and exact nature of the dark energy. Dr. Turner said these questions appeared to lie at the crossroads of several of the most important problems in physics. "In `The Graduate,' that guy told young Dustin Hoffman, `plastics,' " Dr. Turner said. "My advice to the next generation of particle physicists and astrophysicists: dark energy."
