Dark matter comprises a large portion of the Universe, filling the space between galaxies and stars. Since the prediction of dark matter some 70 years ago, researchers from a myriad of disciplines – astronomers, cosmologists, and even particle physicists – have been looking for answers to what dark matter could be.
New observations from the Planck satellite may bring researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute closer than ever to a solution of the origin of the mysterious dark matter.
The Planck satellite, launched in 2009 by the European Space Agency (ESA), has extremely sensitive instruments onboard that can map microwave radiation in the entire sky with great precision. The main goal of this mission is to study the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) – the relic radiation from the Big Bang – and measure tiny fluctuations in the CMB to provide the sharpest picture ever of the early Universe.
This newest data from the Planck mission reveals unusual radiation from our own galaxy, which opens a new direction for understanding the most fundamental properties of the space, time and matter in the Universe.
“We have observed a very unique emission of radio radiation from the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way. By using different methods to separate the signal for very broad range of wavelengths, we have been able to determine the spectrum of the radiation. The radiation originates from synchrotron emission, i.e. electrons and positrons circulating at high energies around the lines of the Magnetic Field in the center of the galaxy, and there are quite strong indications that it could come from dark matter,” explains Pavel Naselsky, professor of cosmology at the Discovery Center at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen.
Scientists at the Niels Bohr Institute have predicted that dark matter may consist of very heavy particles that are around 10 times as heavy as the Higgs particle, that is to say, 1,000 times heavier than a proton. But they have very unique properties and do not interact with “normal” matter particles. Dark matter particles are very scattered and do not interact with each other.
“But we know from theoretical predictions that the concentration of dark matter particles around the center of galaxies is very high and we have a strong argument they can collide there and in the collision electrons and positrons are formed. These electrons and positrons start to rotate around the magnetic field at the center of the galaxy and in doing so produce this very unusual synchrotron radiation,” states Naselsky.
Before this point, it was not possible to observe this radiation in such detail, as previous instruments have not been sensitive enough. With Planck, however, this unusual radiation becomes quite clear.
“The radiation cannot be explained by the structural mechanisms in the galaxy and it cannot be radiation from supernova explosions. We believe that this could be proof of dark matter. Otherwise, we have discovered absolutely new (and unknown for physics) mechanism of acceleration of particles in the Galactic center”, says Naselsky, and he expects exciting new results already within the next few months.
The results of this study have been published in ArXive:1208.5483 and submitted to the scientific journal, Astronomy and Astrophysics.

Dark Matter YOK…
All The Mass Of The Universe Formed At The Pre-Big-Bang Singularity
The universe is a two-poles entity, an all-mass and an all-energy poles.
The elementary particle of the universe is the graviton. The gravitons are compacted into the universal inert singularity mass only for the smallest fraction of a second, when all the gravitons of the universe are compacted together, with zero distance between all of them. This state is mandated by their small size and by their hence weak force.
The big bang is the shattering of the short-lived singularity mass into fragments that later became galactic clusters. This is inflation. The shattering is the start of movement of the shatters i.e. the start of reconversion of mass into energy, which is mass in motion. This reconversion proceeds at a constant rate since the big bang since the resolution of gravitons, their release from their shatters-clusters, proceeds at constant rate due to their weak specific force due to their small size.

2012: Restructure Science Plans, Policies, Budgets
A. Higgs Particle YOK
Eppur Si Muove, Higgs Particle YOK
Regardless Of Whatever Whoever
Regardless Of Whatever Is Said By Whoever Says It -
Higgs Particle YOK.
S Hawking is simply wrong in accepting it. Obviously wrong.
Everyone who accepts the story of the Higgs particle is simply wrong.
Plain commonsense.
Singularity and the Big Bang MUST have happened with the smallest base universe particles, the gravitons, that MUST be both energy and mass, even if they are inert mass just one smallest fraction of a second at singularity. All mass formats evolve from gravitons that convert into energy i.e. extricate from their gravitons clusters into mass formats in motion, energy. And they all end up again as mass in a repeat singularity.
Universe expansion and re-contraction proceed simultaneously..

Who Suppresses Science Creativity? Does Academia Suppress Creativity?
Again and again, ad absurdum:
Since the 1920s SCIENCE is suppressed by a Technology Culture, tightly supervised by a religious old style trade union , the AAAS…
Liberate Your Mind From Concepts Dictated By The Religious Trade-Union AAAS:
USA Science? Re-Comprehend Origins And Essence
* Higgs Particle? Dark Energy/Matter? Epigenetics? All YOK!
* Earth-life is just another, self-replicating, mass format.
* All mass formats evolve from gravitons, the primal universe mass-energy particles.
* Since singularity gravitons are extricated from their big-bang clusters , i.e. become mobile, energy, at a constant rate.
* All mass formats follow natural selection, i.e. intake of energy or their energy taken in by other mass formats.
* Evolution Is The Quantum Mechanics Of Natural Selection.
* Quantum mechanics are mechanisms, possible or probable or actual mechanisms of natural selection.
* Life’s Evolution is the quantum mechanics of biology.
* Every evolution, of all disciplines, is the quantum mechanics of the discipline’s natural selection.

C. Universe Inflation And Expansion
Inflation on Trial
Astrophysicists interrogate one of their most successful theories
http://www.sciencenews.org/view/feature/id/342219/title/Inflation_on_Trial
Commonsense:
Inflation and expansion are per Newton.
Since the Big Bang galactic clusters loose mass at constant rate. Mass, gravitons, continue escaping at constant rate from their Big Bang fragments-clusters thus becoming energy, mass in motion, thus thrusting the clusters. Constant thrust and decreasing galactic clusters weight accelerate the separation of clusters from each other.
Common sense.
