Aussie Student Finds Universe’s ‘Missing Mass’

The purpose of this series of blog entries is to prove anyone can create anything. Many people who are exposed to Happeh Theory feel it cannot be treated seriously because the creator is not the type of individual that generates unquestioning trust in others the way others seem to give scientists with degrees unquestioning trust.

It is hoped that the examples of regular people creating or inventing things will give confidence to the individual who doubts Happeh Theory. If regular people in these examples can produce creations that scientists agree are worthwhile and valid, the reader must admit it is entirely within the realm of possibility that the claims of Happeh Theory will eventually be validated by scientists as well.

The news article that is the subject of this blog entry is about a 22 year old student who solved an astrophysics problem “that has puzzled astronomers for decades”.

If this boy has discovered something that has puzzled astronomers for decades, then why couldn’t the creator of Happeh Theory have discovered something that has previously puzzled scientists?

A 22-year-old Australian university student has solved a problem which has puzzled astrophysicists for decades, discovering part of the so-called “missing mass” of the universe during her summer break.

Undergraduate Amelia Fraser-McKelvie made the breakthrough during a holiday internship with a team at Monash University’s School of Physics, locating the mystery material within vast structures called “filaments of galaxies”.

Monash astrophysicist Dr Kevin Pimbblet explained that scientists had previously detected matter that was present in the early history of the universe but that could not now be located.

“There is missing mass, ordinary mass not dark mass … It’s missing to the present day,” Pimbblet told AFP.

“We don’t know where it went. Now we do know where it went because that’s what Amelia found.”

Fraser-McKelvie, an aerospace engineering and science student, was able to confirm after a targeted X-ray search for the mystery mass that it had moved to the “filaments of galaxies”, which stretch across enormous expanses of space.

Pimbblet’s earlier work had suggested the filaments as a possible location for the “missing” matter, thought to be low in density but high in temperature.

Pimbblet said astrophysicists had known about the “missing” mass for the past two decades, but the technology needed to pinpoint its location had only become available in recent years.

He said the discovery could drive the construction of new telescopes designed to specifically study the mass.

Pimbblet admitted the discovery was primarily academic, but he said previous physics research had led to the development of diverse other technologies.

“Whenever I speak to people who have influence, politicians and so on, they sometimes ask me ‘Why should I invest in physics pure research?’. And I sometimes say to them: ‘Do you use a mobile phone? Some of that technology came about by black hole research’.

“The pure research has knock-on effects to the whole society which are sometimes difficult to anticipate.”
