Astronomer Stacy McGaugh on a Universe Without Dark Matter
*"This is Galileo-type stuff"* In 1934, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky discovered something very amiss in the structure of galaxies. Something was missing. Mass, and lots of it. With the amount of mass that we can observe in a given galaxy, it...
