Science!

OK, it's not so political, but in this world where people forget that the theory of evolution actually means that there's facts to back it up, it's nice to see something all science-like and fact-y.

Scientists Find Missing Matter has all the science talk I could want. I thrilled to their talk of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory! I giggled at the thought that "baryon" is a real word! And when they talk about "dark matter", they're not implying that it's anything that has to be solved with any kind of freedom march.

Yes, the big words like "extrapolation" are a soothing balm to my soul.
