This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

This has actually been theorized for quite some time. IIRC some scientists=20
were holding on to the idea that there may be enough dark matter in the=20
universe to account for the difference in mass needed to bring everything=20
back together.

What confuses me about this article is that they seem (or claim) to know=20
just how much dark matter there is in the universe - I'm not sure how=20
they're coming up with those numbers.
