Default Did scientists just find dark matter? Signs point to yes

"We may be on the verge of solving one
of the universe's greatest mysteries

In May 2011, the space shuttle Endeavor
docked with the International Space
Station to unload some expensive cargo:
A $2 billion particle detector.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer
(AMS), which will continue working as
long as the I.S.S. is in operation, has
been collecting electrons and positrons
floating through space to help
physicists answer one question: Does
dark matter actually exist? On
Wednesday, CERN scientists released
their first batch of results, and,
according to Discovery News, the
answer is a "cautious, yet exciting,
yes.""
