Dark Matter- Lost in Space- Poegles Contest
Filed Under Poegles
Today the New York Times reports that “a concatenation of puzzling results from an alphabet soup of satellites and experiments has led a growing number of astronomers and physicists to suspect that they are getting signals from a shadow universe of dark matter that makes up a quarter of creation but has eluded direct detection until now. ”
At Poegles.com, when we read phrases like “anomalies in the sky tell you what to look for”, and “the stakes for dark matter go beyond cosmology”, we get excited. Even better are sentences like “you could think of it as a hamster running around on a wheel in its cage. We cannot see the hamster or the cage, but we can sort of feel the impact of the hamster running.”
We hope you’ll take some inspiration, too, and write a poegle that addresses this week’s contest theme- ‘lost in space’. Who knows what you might turn up? Maybe even some exotic dark matter. Visit the contest here.
