LOS ALTOS HILLS, Calif., Aug. 8 /Standard Newswire/ -- The scientific paper, "Seeing Through Dark Matter ", in the August 3 issue of Science Magazine ends with the sentence, "The universe may not be as cold and dark as we imagine." Another sentence lending support to relativistic-proton dark matter over Cold Dark Matter reads, "The collision velocities of the components of the bullet cluster are extraordinarily high ..."

The August 3 paper also discusses a scientific paper, ''Missing Mass in Collisional Debris from Galaxies'' published in the May 25 issue of Science. This paper provides significant scientific support for relativistic-proton dark matter, whose existence was first predicted by Silicon Valley's inventor/scientist Jerome Drexler in his 2003 book.

Thus, the combination of these two recent scientific papers published in Science Magazine clearly boosts Jerome Drexler's relativistic-proton dark matter theory relative to the 23-year-old Cold Dark Matter theory.

Also in 2007, the reputation of the relativistic-proton dark matter theory was significantly enhanced by providing the first plausible explanation for "dark energy" and by providing the first plausible evidence that the Big Bang satisfied the Second Law of Thermodynamics. On July 19 Drexler wrote an article distributed by AScribe Newswire that appeared on Google News entitled, "Eroding High-Energy Dark Matter Particles in Galaxy Clusters May Explain the Universe's Acceleration". On February 15, Drexler posted a scientific paper on the physics arXiv designated physics/0702132 that explains that the Big Bang would have satisfied the Second Law of Thermodynamics if it created relativistic-proton dark matter.

Returning to the Science Magazine papers, the May 25 paper's researchers' conclusion reads: "it more likely indicates that a substantial amount of dark matter resides within the disks of spiral galaxies. The most natural candidate is molecular hydrogen in some hard-to-trace form." (Science 25 May 2007 Vol.316, pp.1166-1169).

The researchers point out that their conclusions disagree with the Cold Dark Matter theory that posits that there is no dark matter in the disks of spiral galaxies and also that dark matter is comprised of non-baryonic matter, which excludes hydrogen and protons.

However, in agreement with the researchers' conclusion is Drexler's competing relativistic-proton dark matter theory and cosmology that posits that relativistic-protons, a hard-to-trace form of hydrogen, does reside within the disks of spiral galaxies, as well as in their halos.

The May 25 Science paper clearly establishes new constraints on the nature and location of dark matter in spiral galaxies and in recycled-from-debris dwarf galaxies. The paper carefully analyzes astronomical dark matter in a triplet of recycled dwarf galaxies formed from debris from the collision of two massive spiral galaxies. The Cold Dark Matter theory indicates that such recycled-from-debris dwarf galaxies should be free of non-baryonic (non-proton) dark matter.

It turns out that all three of the recycled dwarf galaxies were discovered to have twice as much dark matter as ordinary matter. The researchers were forced to conclude that the dark matter in debris-based dwarf galaxies must be baryonic (proton-based) since it could not be non-baryonic. They further concluded that the recycled dwarf galaxy's baryonic (proton) dark matter probably came from the disks of the colliding massive spiral galaxies.

The researchers' conclusion that the disks of spiral galaxies harbor "molecular hydrogen in some hard-to-trace-form" further opens the door of scientific acceptance to the relativistic-proton dark matter theory and cosmology that is described in two recently published books (2003 and 2006) and in two recent scientific papers (2005 and 2007), all authored by Jerome Drexler.

Drexler originated the five-year-old relativistic-proton dark matter theory and presented it to two astronomy/astrophysics professors at a University of California campus in April 2003. He then expanded his presentation to 108 slides and transformed it into a 156-page paperback book, "How Dark Matter Created Dark Energy and the Sun-An Astrophysics Detective Story", which was published December 15, 2003.

Drexler followed this with a 19-page scientific paper on April 22, 2005 posted on the physics website arXiv.org as e-Print No. astro-ph/0504512, a five-page scientific paper on February 15, 2007 as e-Print No. physics/0702132, and a 295-page paperback book entitled "Comprehending and Decoding the Cosmos," published May 2006 and sold by Universal Publishers, Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble.com and many other booksellers.

The 2006 book discloses the surprising and significant roles and functions of dark matter in creating spiral galaxies, stars, starburst galaxies and ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. Thus, a fitting subtitle for the 2006 paperback book is, "Discovering Solutions to Over a Dozen Cosmic Mysteries by Utilizing Dark Matter Relationism, Cosmology, and Astrophysics." The book is now available in over 35 astronomy or physics libraries around the world.

Drexler entered the race to identify dark matter in 2002, by utilizing Albert Einstein's 1905 Special Theory of Relativity, Claude Shannon's information theory, Johannes Kepler's 400-year-old idea of re-analyzing the astronomical data of others, Occam's (Ockham's) razor logic of the 14th century and his own career in applied physics research, invention and innovation that began with seven years at Bell Laboratories.
