Mr.Swami it is. i actually have become most confrontational with posters who i have a roughly general view of things in common and have intelligence that i consider pretty keen.
Regards "Dark Matter":physicist/cosmologist more and more admit it is a misleading term, as the dark needs be now understood as "unknown", but it got embedded in minds as "Dark Matter" as it was first presumed it was simply cold regular matter--it took years to destroy that view.
On message boards one, if wanting to teach something, is withOUT chalk/pointer/"blackboard" and use of your voice and body language to communicate nor can you see who you are communicating and note if they are getting interested.
Due to what i believe to be one of the great moments in science history a group of astrophysicist noted two galaxies in a head on crash . They deduced that they could possibly , through gravitational lensing and colorizing, see how "dark matter"(non-elemental mass) behaved relative to elemental mass when the huge forces were unleashed in Galactic Collison, they were succesful!
The photo was first released, if i remember rightly, August 2006.
This was something i was emotionally involved in, so when i saw the photo, like a Marv Albert i shouted "YES!!!"
The "Dark Matter " moved along as if nothing was happening while that, that was thought as everything was ripping itself apart and slowing down as the massive "traffic accident " was happening.That "Dark Matter" was revealing it was simpatico to itself where elemental mass was showing that is of course NOT and two galaxies colliding is catastrophic for elemental mass.
This was BIG and i am bubbling over, so i got upset i wasn't being heard--rather than say, O' in 50 years this will all be common knowledge que sera,sera.

i admire the Amazin' Randi for exposing frauds, i have always championed his crusade against that megalomaniac con man Yuri Geller.
And exposing that Roswell is based on a fabrication.
And that The Bermuda Triangle is a myth that was created by an unscrupulous writer, whose name i think was Berlitz.
But there is a point where skepticism becomes destructive of Knowledge, there must be balance.But Randi should stick to what he does best, expose fraud.He seems one prejudiced to anything outside the realm of hardcore materialism.

Sagan was a promulgator of the "consensus wisdom" and went to sarcasm and rude dismissal when ideas that would upset his certainty were intruding.
If he lived on to see what has transpired over these recent years, maybe he would shock me, and be writing excitingly of it now, but my prejudice is he would be "scoffing"

A most excellent writer for laymen on Physics/Cosmology , is Paul Davies, once the head of mathematical physics at the University of Adelaide --i do not know where he is now.
16 years ago, in 1992 he wrote a visionary book, drawing on his own work and others, in which the opening chapter is entitled The Death of Materialism, the title of the book "The Matter Myth".
i believe Carl Sagan would have simply cast it aside and PONTIFICATED, "rubbish."

Truth is this book's projections are getting major confirmation.
So what the hell, being chained to the limits of messageboards, i tossed a couple grenades--i am adept at that.
Motive? i think this is something momentous.
enough yada yada.Max/otraque
P.S
BTW, some cosmologist/physicist are having career anxiety, that if "Dark Matter" proves to be The Wall they have stated, at ages in their late 40s and early 50s, they will looking for another career.
IF LHC does confirm the existence of Higgs Field/the Higgs Boson but not more, they remain at The Wall of "Dark Matter"(and perhaps also regards Dark Energy).
