Astronomers and NASA Detect Mysterious Signal coming from Deep Space

(Before It's News)

Astronomers have detected a mysterious signal 240 million light years away from Earth.
The unidentified signal is a ‘spike of intensity at a very specific wavelength of x-ray light’, but scientists don’t yet know what the origin is.
Picked up in the Perseus Cluster, one of the biggest objects in the universe, the discovery is said to be the best evidence of dark matter yet.
Astronomers believe dark matter constitutes 85 per cent of the matter in the universe, but doesn’t emit or absorb light like normal matter such as protons or electrons, which are known to make up the familiar elements seen in planets, stars, and galaxies.
Researchers suggest intensity coming from the Perseus Cluster could be a signature from the decay of a ‘sterile neutrino’ – which are a hypothetical type of neutrino thought to interact with normal matter via gravity.

  • Science is not close to understanding the universe. Dark matter has its own light source as each sub-particle is charged. There is invisible light, white light and black light. As we are in HU1 our sun channels black light.

    You talk of “light years”. What is that? The measurement of light travel to earth is an illusion satisfying human perception. Behind the scenes, everything is “flat packed”. Thus light does not travel; only the perception of the experience defining the commonality appears “dimensional”. I draw your attention to an old post of mine:
