LOS ALTOS HILLS, Calif., May 8 (AScribe Newswire) — Apparently, the European Space Agency (ESA) is unaware they have used their orbiting X-ray observatory XMM-Newton to inadvertently capture a soft X-ray image of an enormous filament of dark matter of the cosmic web that connects two galaxy clusters.
The ESA also achieved its principal goal of discovering part of the missing baryon matter of the universe, which is a significant accomplishment in itself. See ESA’s 6 May 2008 news release on the Internet entitled, “XMM-Newton discovers part of missing matter in the universe.”
But capturing a soft X-ray image of a chunk of the elusive dark matter of the universe is a much bigger accomplishment and could lead to a Nobel Prize. However, the achievement has to be proven and the evidence must be overwhelming.
In the past, dark matter cosmology consultant Jerome Drexler, utilizing the cosmic research concepts he has developed in his three published books, provided published plausible explanations for such types of cosmic enigmas. Readers of his books published December 15, 2003, May 22, 2006 and March 1, 2008 have seen how he has solved about twenty cosmic enigmas, anomalies, mysteries, or conundrums.
He believes that elements of the answers and explanations to the European Space Agency’s “dark matter discovery” conundrum can be found in various chapters of his astro- cosmology trilogy. He would be delighted if the ESA and its researchers succeed in convincing themselves of their dark matter discovery.
Drexler’s 292-page, March 2008, dark matter based paperback, “Discovering Postmodern Cosmology,” was written to provide solutions to the five top priority cosmic- phenomena enigmas and extensive evidence that mainstream cosmology is seriously flawed and should be overhauled and to explain how that might be accomplished.
Drexler’s postmodern cosmology has yet to be analyzed or evaluated relative to mainstream cosmology in any scientific paper or book. It would be healthy for cosmology, no matter what the outcome. Such professional analyses and evaluations would be beneficial to ESA, NASA, NSF, the U.S. DOE and the private foundations of W.M. Keck, Alfred P. Sloan, Gordon Moore, Fred Kavli, Peter Gruber, John Templeton, and Bruce McWilliams who are financially supporting cosmological research.
Drexler’s May 22, 2006 book, “Comprehending and Decoding the Cosmos,” which plausibly solves at least 15 cosmic enigmas, is cataloged and available in over 40 astronomy and physics libraries around the world. They include libraries at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, Cornell, Harvard-Smithsonian, Vassar, and the universities of Hawaii, Toronto, Illinois, Edinburgh, Hamburg, Goettingen, Groningen, Copenhagen, Chile, Bologna, Helsinki, Lisbon, Guadalajara, Kyoto, and the Max-Planck- Institut for Astrophysik.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR OF THE THREE BOOKS: Jerome Drexler is a former member of the technical staff and group supervisor at Bell Laboratories, former research professor in physics at New Jersey Institute of Technology, and founder and former Chairman and chief scientist of LaserCard Corp.(Nasdaq: LCRD). He has been awarded 76 U.S. patents, honorary Doctor of Science degrees from NJIT and Upsala College, a degree of Honorary Fellow of the Technion, an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship at Stanford University, a three-year Bell Labs graduate study fellowship, the 1990 “Inventor of the Year Award” for Silicon Valley and recognition as the original inventor in 1978 of the now widely-used digital optical disk “Laser Optical Storage System.” He is a member of the Board of Overseers of New Jersey Institute of Technology and an Honorary Life Member of the Technion Board of Governors.
