ACCELERATING EXPANSION

Yes I looked over your list of statements about where the notion of dark matter first emerged. First there was the discovery of other galaxies besides our own.........then the measurements of the orbital velocities of the stars in other galaxies (and our own galaxy)........showing stars at the outer parts of galaxies orbit faster than the interior stars do..........measurements that are very old from the 30's............Then I read in 1998 the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope measured from red shifts of supernovae at the beginning times of the Universe and at much later times proved that the Universe's expansion was ACCELERATING instead of the opposite outcome.........And that was where the estimates that the Universe is comprised of 68% dark energy and over 20% dark matter and about 5% ordinary matter came from. Atoms and photons are just a small part of reality........what the hell is dark matter..........does it have a chemistry like the chemistry of the fundamental particles and the chemistry of the periodic table........does dark matter have dark molecules..........it has mass and that is all they know.......just has mass that they can infer from gravitational effects that the substance confers on stars etc.........this is the biggest mystery since the discovery of fire......a truly mysterious substance that dominates over the only matter we know about from our own experience.......I read somewhere that the big particle accelerator in Europe is where some scientists are trying to create dark matter on the Earth........I wonder if that couldn't that be dangerous somehow.......Mike
