Bitter words mean little to me. Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time, when they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine, and the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise

The decay of sterile neutrinos is thought to produce X-rays, so the research team suspects these may be the dark matter particles responsible for the mysterious signal coming from Andromeda and the Perseus cluster

what happens when super-super-massive black holes collide? Boom! Lot's of sterile neutrinos.
All that matter rapidly clumping together at the beginning of the universe made incalculable amounts of these super-super-massive black holes. The only ones left are the super-massive ones at centers of galaxies and the ones that have been made by the collapse of large stars.
Dark matter aptly named since it's made from black hole material.

That's where we probably fail...

Norway is about to build the worlds first tunnel for large ships  :o
See the demo video on top of this article in a domestic science magazine.

Ship tunnel

Why is that you'd might wonder.
The coastline in this western parts of Norway is notoriously known for severe storms.
Lots of vessels are resting at the bottom of the sea.

Here is a video from a nearby town that should give you an idea about the wind conditions.

Windy town of Aalesund, Norway

Cern: The Large Hadron Collider.
The LHC is back after a two year hiatus due to upgrading.
The energy gained in the first particle collision is said to been 1 1/2 times larger than before close-down.

Will we see some new Bosons or Mesons detected this year ?
Maybe a step closer to understand dark matter?
Cast some light on the supersymmetry theory?

Close to 900 hidden galaxies found in our neighborhood.
The discovery of such huge amount of mass may shed some light on the unexplained pull on our galaxy, The Milky way.

kinda common sense that there would be galaxies in that region. pretty cool that we have the technology to 'see' them now.

Skip o'hoy !!
World's larget viking ship sailing from Norway to America
They'll follow approx the same route as the first vikings that discovered America 500 years before Columbus....

Nice to track the ship on the map as the're sailing.
Lots of nice images of the ship and builders as well.
