'Force','energy'... 'gravity', strike me as easier to digest. While matter possesses the characteristic called 'gravity', no particle has been discovered to be the source of that characteristic. (The gravitron is a hypothetical particle.) Giving 'matter' a broader definition by incorporating the characteristics of 'dark matter' in order to explain the impact is of what is being observed strikes me as the same thing as calling a lizard a mammal because it has four legs. Thanks for the article. Not enough science in the world of reporting. - Steve Sat, 12 Jan 2008 17:32:06 +0100
