i rest my case. you couldnt have summed up the confusion better.

Thanks Steve, an interesting post and an informative link, well done.

It's a great pity that I find my self thinking about modelling, peer reviews, vested interests, data integrity and transparency.

Has dark matter finally been detected?

See: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/dec/17/dark-matter-detected

One of the strengths of Horava's theory is that it does away with the need to postulate the existence of dark matter. If this story from the Guardian is correct it MAY mean back to the drawing board for Horava.
