DENNIS OVERBYE

The phone call came like a bolt out of the blue, so to speak, in January 2011. On the other end of the line was someone from the National Reconnaissance Office, which operates the nation’s fleet of spy satellites. They had some spare, unused “hardware” to get rid of. Was NASA interested?

So when John Grunsfeld, the physicist and former astronaut, walked into his office a year later to start his new job as NASA’s associate administrator for space science, he discovered that his potential armada was a bit bigger than he knew.

Sitting in a room in upstate New York were two telescopes the same size as the famed Hubble Space Telescope, but built to point down at the Earth, instead of up at the heavens.

NASA, struggling to get human space exploration moving again, had spent the previous year trying to figure out how good these telescopes were and what, if anything, they could be used for. Working with a small band of astronomers for the past couple of months, Dr. Grunsfeld, famous as the Hubble telescope’s in-orbit repairman, has now come up with a plan, which was presented to the public on Monday at a meeting at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington.

  1. From Dark-Purposes, (no apparent exact mention of what they were looking at down here) – only inferred to scare you. You must be scared, … to Dark Matter.

    So, let’s deal with something real: Dark Matter. Oh, very complicated. How much money can we spend? Take Einstein’s basic Formula for Special Relativity. E=mc².

    If as the (Cosmologists refer to it) the ‘Energy of The Void’ remains constant, and energy is not leaking into or out of our Universe (from other ones, say, Man), then if the speed of light is slowing down (Cosmologists and Astrophyizzy-whatsits agree, again that it has done and continues to slightly), then the total mass of OUR universe must be increasing. [See formula above]

    — Dark matter could then, well be an intermediary phase in the accretion of matter out of the void of space … into space.

    Mmmmmm … Actually this has been an accepted hypothesis for a quite few years already.
    — Thing is, if light is slowing down, and the total energy remains the same (energy is conserved, youse remember), then mass has to to increase.

    Can I have my supper now Sir? Please Sir!? I really mean it Man!
