Hi All,
First question so please go easy on me.
I'm currently reading 'Why Does E=mc2? at the moment and in an early chapter, Brian Cox referers to The Eather and how daft the concept was because it would cause drag in the universe and planets would lose orbital momentum etc, etc.
Now Eather was an unknown to explain a gap in a theory (as I understand it). So, what's the difference between the 19th century Eather concept and Dark Matter?
Will physicists in a 100 years time be looking back and thinking how quaint our 'belief' in dark matter was?
Happy Eather to you all!
