Dark Matter and Neutrinos Roberta Lee Dwyer

DARK MATTER and NEUTRINOS: SOLVED? A totally new theory herein is presented for what is "causing" DARK MATTER in the Universe. DARK MATTER is described as 1) A substance that scientists think exists out in space but for which they have no direct proof. (MacMillan Dictionary); 2) By fitting a theoretical model of the composition of the universe to the combined set of cosmological observations, scientists have come up with the composition of 68% dark energy, 27% dark matter, 5% normal matter. (NASA Science Newsletter). These are just two definitions, of which there are many others with different percentage figures, that try to explain the substance called DARK MATTER in the cosmos. From 350 B. C., when it was called AETHER, to our present terminology of DARK MATTER, it remains an unknown. Two new theories are presented herein for evaluation as to the creation of NEUTRINOS or perhaps its elimination. The NEUTRINO is described as an incredibly tiny subatomic particle (0.000291) produced in a Beta-decay event to explain where some "missing energy" has been created. NEUTRINOS have no mass, no interaction with any known material, and have no electric charge. It was originally declared to be the "ghost particle" and remains as such today.
