From: Donovan HidesI feel like I should come to NASA's defense and make a case for exclusion being an important part of the scientific process, but really, Donovan does pretty much sum it up.

Interesting news article and video to support….I think the message here is that NASA has spent billions of dollars…not found a damn thing…and they are excited about it.

I think that a more appropriate title would be 'wimpy'. 80% of matter is dark because they can't observe it properly? I think the problem is that they can't observe it properly.

Actually, the original title was "But it's really IMPORTANT nothing." but I had a fortuitous typo a la Felix while typing NASA in the posting, and decided that it worked as a title under the circumstances.

It is a good title. Just adding another random thought about this - Dark Matter is the latter day equivalent of "here there be monsters".
