Dark Matter - It's there!

"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

I'll reserve judgment until they actually publish formal results.  That article is mostly fodder for arm-chair physicists.

I didn't find them actually saying they have found it. Only speculations of the measurement data. Is it this group that announced they might have found the Higgs boson last Autumn?
