LOS ALTOS HILLS, Calif., Dec. 8, 2008 (AScribe Newswire) — Scientists at UC Santa Cruz claim that about 85 percent of the mass of the universe is Cold Dark Matter (CDM), comprised of cold, uncharged, weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) that contain no nuclei or atoms of hydrogen, helium, oxygen, nitrogen or any other atoms/nuclei. Such extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence to be convincing, yet UC Santa Cruz has not provided any astronomical evidence after 24 years of research.
The new astronomy-oriented ‘Dark Matter Cosmology’ website at http://www.jeromedrexler.org , featuring Jerome Drexler’s recent astro-cosmology books, “Discovering Postmodern Cosmology” and “Comprehending and Decoding the Cosmos,” provides overwhelming evidence of the precise identity of the universe’s dark matter, which is unrelated to UC Santa Cruz’s Cold Dark Matter WIMPs. The term “astro-cosmology” used here means astronomy-oriented dark matter cosmology.
Furthermore, the new website provides substantial evidence supporting plausible explanations for the following six famous mysteries of cosmology: the nature of dark matter, the accelerating expanding cosmos, the effect of the Second Law of Thermodynamics on the big bang, the hyper expansion of cosmic inflation, the source of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), and the nature of the cosmic web.
The search for the true dark matter of the universe has suffered from a psychological fog that has prevented scientists from determining dark matter’s precise make-up. This fog has precluded scientists from recognizing the true nature of dark matter even when they encountered its overwhelming evidence.
This obscuring and confusing fog was created by the dilemma of a theoretical Cold Dark Matter that still remains undetected after 24 years of searching, but nevertheless has been accepted by the mentally exhausted mainstream astrophysicists and cosmologists as a comfortable default solution. This dilemma and its fog have seriously hampered dark matter astronomical research efforts for more than a decade.
Encouragingly, during the past 30 months innovative, courageous, and dynamic astronomers and physicists have published their doubts about the existence of Cold Dark Matter at seven well-known universities or research establishments. They are the UK’s Cambridge and Cardiff University, France’s CEA Saclay, NYU, the Russian Academy of Sciences, UC San Diego and the University of Chicago.
Two other universities were even earlier. In April 2005, a paper, “Identifying Dark Matter through the Constraints Imposed by Fourteen Astronomically Based ‘Cosmic Constituents,’” was published by then physics research professor Jerome Drexler of New Jersey Institute of Technology, as arXiv astro-ph/0504512 v 1. The paper’s analysis of the possible relationships of 14 cosmic constituents with dark matter makes a strong case for Drexler’s relativistic-proton dark matter over Cold Dark Matter WIMPs.
In March 1990, a paper, “Charged dark matter” by physics Nobel Laureate Harvard Professor Sheldon L. Glashow, et al, was published in Nucl. Phys. B, Part. Phys., Vol. 333, No. 1. In a 1989 interview, related to his research, he is quoted: “People have been excluding the possibility of charged dark matter for no good reason and limiting themselves to neutral particles,” says physicist Sheldon L. Glashow of Harvard University.
“If you don’t know what dark matter is, it would seem wise to be open-minded.” “Glashow and his collaborators propose that dark matter consists of stable, very massive, electrically charged elementary particles left over from the Big Bang.” [Drexler's relativistic-proton dark matter fits Glashow's description.]
Drexler utilizes the overwhelming evidence provided in his website, his three books, his two scientific papers, the two charged-dark-matter papers of Harvard’s Prof. Sheldon Glashow et al in 1990 and of the University of Chicago’s Prof. Rocky Kolb et al in late 2008, and the Cold-Dark-Matter-doubting paper of Cardiff University’s Prof. Mike Disney et al in late 2008, to support Drexler’s claim to the discovery of the precise identity of the long- sought dark matter of the universe.
The following three newswires, describing this recent Cold-Dark-Matter-doubting renaissance, are available at the new ‘Dark Matter Cosmology’ website, http://www.jeromedrexler.org , under NEWS:
“Doubts Cast on Cold Dark Matter by Cambridge, Cardiff U, CEA Saclay, NYU, Russian Academy of Sciences, UC San Diego,” dated Nov 10.
“Dark Matter Battle for Nobel Prize: Roles of Harvard, University of Chicago,” dated Oct.14.
“University of Chicago’s CHAMPs Dark Matter Boosts Drexler’s Dark Matter over WIMPs,” dated Sept. 18.
Drexler dedicates his astronomy-oriented “Dark Matter Cosmology” website to the world’s astronomers and to NASA, the National Science Foundation (NSF), the US Department of Energy (US DOE), the European Space Organization (ESO), and the European Space Agency (ESA).
The following five publications authored by Drexler cover the physics of dark matter, the supporting evidence, and dark matter cosmology that provides plausible explanations for the universe’s accelerating expansion, ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, big bang, cosmic inflation, and cosmic web:
- Book, March 1, 2008, “Discovering Postmodern Cosmology: Discoveries in Dark Matter, Cosmic Web, Big Bang, Inflation, Cosmic Rays, Dark Energy, Accelerating Cosmos.”
- Scientific paper, physics/0702132, Feb. 15 2007, “A Relativistic-Proton Dark Matter Would Be Evidence the Big Bang Probably Satisfied the Second Law of Thermodynamics.”
- Book, May 22, 2006, “Comprehending and Decoding the Cosmos: Discovering Solutions to Over a Dozen Cosmic Mysteries by Utilizing Dark Matter Relationism, Cosmology, and Astrophysics.”
