Student Intern Solves Missing Mass Problem, from Jeff Watson

 An Australian student intern has possibly solved one of the riddles that have baffled astronomers and astrophysicists for decades. The scientists have been of the belief that approximately half of the mass of the universe cannot be detected, yet there is much evidence that it is there. The intern found the mass, which has been overlooked in the filaments of galaxies (Filaments appear to look like shoelaces through high resolution telescopes like the Hubble.)

Anyway, some claim that she solved the "Missing Mass Problem." If she has indeed stumbled across the solution to this problem, this is big.
