wow, I thought that the whole "dark matter" business was now pretty
universally considered a mistake. I don't have access to my old
Scientific American Mags at the moment but I seem to recall reading in
this past year of other possible explanations for the observed behavior
of 'universal' expansion. I've not always been too impressed with
Hawking.

i hereby retract the former statement (if i can do that).  it was based on
false info given to me by my brother (he's usually a good source of little
known facts about the cosmos, but when i sought some hard evidence [a link,
an essay, anything] he couldn't back it up).  sorry for throwing gum in the
machine.
