Description
Summary:There is about 10 times more dark matter (DM, also known here as Alice matter) than bright stuff in our Galaxy. The DMis spread out in a roughly uniformsphere (a spherical distribution of Alice stars), with our flattened disk Galaxy embedded in it. The Alice matter , is a kind of mirror image shadow stuff; the term looking glassmatter has been used by some scientists. Alicematter can be turned into ordinary matter (and vice versa) by sending it through a loop of Alice string, a naturally occurring cosmic phenomenon. Aliens in the DM world, more advanced than we are, have discovered the trace of 10 per cent normal matter in their universe. And have come to investigate it. Our disk is a perturbation that they are puzzled about.
