Nobel Prize season is here again, and the first award for Physiology or elixir was split between two virologists who discovered HIV and one who demonstrated that a virus causes cervical cancer. Coming soon is the announcement for Physics. Look to the right for a chance to pit your 1995 by houghton mifflin harcourt printing company.

AP - Scientists who have pursued dark matter, hunted for undiscovered planets and advanced nanotechnology were being touted Monday as candidates for the 2008 Nobel Prize in physics.

It appears that galaxies form around clumps of dark matter, so the large scale structure of the universe is determined by the distribution of dark matter, and ordinary matter is attracted to these clumps of dark matter to form the galaxies we see today.

Dark Matter, Dark Energy, now Dark Flow... my brother directs me to a new discovery/theory. It seems that a great cluster of galaxies that is halfway towards the edge of the observable universe, is moving in a different direction from the general stretching of space-time. It's like a little boat caught in an eddy.

The universe remains a very mysterious place. From the Space.com link: As if the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy weren’t vexing enough, another baffling cosmic puzzle has been discovered. Patches of matter in the universe seem to be moving at very high speeds and in a uniform direction that can’t be explained by any of the known gravitational forces in the observable universe.
