Drexler presents a series of explanations and arguments in support of his theory that dark matter is mainly relativistic protons. These arguments are presented in the format of press releases, an unusual form of authorship, but indicative of the excitement felt by the author and a format not subject to the politics of peer review. He traces his excitement over a period of several years, increasing his conviction regarding his theory. The press releases weave diverse observational evidence of others into a tapestry supporting Drexler’s dark matter theory. Make no mistake, the scope of this book is so broad that there is lots of room for argument, for example regarding galactic structure. Nevertheless, Drexler’s book is interesting, provocative and passionate.
