On a related subject is some important new work in theoretical physics over which Fred Murphy earlier posted a link: Fred Murphy via Marxism 15:26 08-11-16 -0500 [Marxism] New theory of gravity might explain dark matter Unfortunately that post was overshadowed by the American election occurring at the same time, so I didn't answer it. However I will now dig up the material I would have referred to. Please see my next post if you are interested in physics developments. The subject line of that earlier post is a bit misleading. The new theory doesn't explain dark matter but rather explains the observed gravitational effects heretofore ascribed to "dark matter", removing any need for postulating the latter. Since there's nothing good happening politically, I might as well post about physics, so stay tuned..... - Jeff _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
