- Good morning all...
- Some friends and I have a running interest in matter physics, and
- we are in the process of gathering information on current gravity
- theory. We are intrigued by the notion of "Dark Matter" and the role
- it plays in both Cosmology and Physics.
- In a recent article written by Corey S. Powell, entitled, "Machos
- or Wimps; Astronomers stalk the invisible cosmic majority" (Scientific
- American, January 1993, pg 27)....John A Bahcall of the Institute for
- Advanced Study in Princeton, writes; "the dark matter problem may be a
- sign that some fundamental aspect of physics, such as the theory of
- gravity, demands revision."
- A statement such as this, tends to heighten ones interest and
- thirst for follow-up information....which of course, I'm hoping someone
- "out there" can supply reference to. Has anyone seen published information on
- current trends in gravity theory, from books, periodicals, journals or
- letters? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
- Thanks in advance....
