: About Me

Born in Garston, a sub district of Liverpool England, Eddie French began writing at the age of nine.
After walking out of school at the incredibly wise old age of fifteen years, he found work in a local factory. Disillusioned with factory life, or was it the work ethic thing? he joined the British Army.

After surviving all of this, he took up life as a civilian.
That's when it got really difficult.

The Gravity of the Dark Matter Problem The composition of dark matter has people from many disciplines of science scratching their heads in wonder. What exactly is Dark Matter? If we are to answer this question I propose that we first change its name to something which better describes just what it is that we are looking for. You see, the term 'dark matter' is very probably a misnomer, even the leaders in the field of study regarding this phenomenon admit that all we have is our study of the 'results' that we would observe if dark matter actually existed. So, we see the effects of the phen...
