People who make computers need gold.

Dark matter is what we call our inability to understand the mass of galaxies and galaxy clusters. It is invisible and so far has avoided all forms of detection so yes empty nothing.

dark matter has been detected on several occasions

Correction: the gravitational effect of dark matter has been detected. If we ever directly detect dark matter, it will no longer be dark matter.

detect =/= vision

😕 What are you talking about?

We have not detect, in any way other then gravitationally, dark matter. The reason it is called dark matter is because we don't know what it it. Dark matter may not even exist; there are other possible answers to why gravity seems to work in a strange way on the large scale. Under our current understanding of gravity, galaxies should spin apart. This lead to the idea that there is mass we cannot see holding the galaxies together. There would need to be about 60% more mass in a galaxy, then we can detect. The term Dark Matter was a way to deal with this problem.

i thought dark matter was the "invisible glue" inbetween it all, so to speak, that kept everything from protons to galactic clusters intact.

thats the force dude

That would be a particle known as a Gluon.

Going to Mars would be a problem for us wouldn't it? I mean what about all of the ambient radiation? This isn't Star Trek, its real life.

To only thing to worry about is a solar flare, for that engineers have suggested a sort of "storm shelter" for the crew.

we need to stop caring about the universe and worry about aids

Because AIDS is definitely not a part of the universe.

no.

So, you want NASA to work on AIDS? That is almost as bad as Obama wanting NASA to work on global warming.

there is no solid evidence that global warming exist.
it was just created as a common enemy after ww2
so we can support government actions and what not.
if we were in peace with no enemies no one would support war or federal experiments and all that other sh

You missed my point. NASA = National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Totally untrue. The only debate that still exists is if humans are the primary cause. Even the global warming "skeptics" almost universally admit that the planet is warming up.

There's no such thing as a time when there are no enemies. As for federal experiments, few of the need the threat of war to justify.
