I find it annoying that they attribute it to graitation and there is no mention of the Dark Energy phenomenon in the article, as this would seem to be a prime case.

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

I found it and interesting article, even though I'm not all that well versed on astronomy. It kind'a goes in hand with another I found the other day and have been looking for an excuse to post. Gravity still stumps scientists
The wimpiest force in the universe is tough to explain
By Dave Mosher
Updated: 2:10 p.m. ET Aug 10, 2007
In the deepest depths of space, gravity tugs on matter to form galaxies, stars, black holes and the like. In spite of its infinite reach, however, gravity is the wimpiest of all forces in the universe.
This weakness also makes it the most mysterious, as scientists can't measure it in the laboratory as easily as they can detect its effects on planets and stars. The repulsion between two positively charged protons, for example, is 1036 times stronger than gravity's pull between them — that's 1 followed by 36 zeros less macho.

And the Prize in the field of astronomy goes to the University of Minnesota, for finding absolutely nothing.

Thanks from posting that link, filthy. I know a layman in desperate need of this article.
