If you’ve ever read a schlocky sci-fi novel or tuned into an episode of
Cosmos, you’ve probably heard of dark matter, the mysterious sister to ordinary baryonic matter that makes up some eighty-five percent of our universe. So-called because it doesn’t interact with EM radiation or normal matter, dark matter has only ever been observed indirectly via its gravitational influence. What is it made of? No one is quite sure candidate explanations range from new elementary particles to primordial black holes. Nearly all of the major schools of thought in the astrophysics community subscribe to a “cold dark matter” model, in which the constituent particles move slowly and larger structures emerge hierarchically from the bottom up. But, while the consensus CDM model has been very successful, there are still some inconsistencies with observation and another big one has just emerged.
Teen charged with firing at police dog
A teenager is in jail for allegedly shooting at a law enforcement officer.
Christopher Poston, 18, was arrested over the weekend on charges of assaulting a police officer with a firearm, possession of a stolen firearm, possession of a stolen vehicle, assaulting a law enforcement agent, reckless driving, fleeing to elude arrest and driving without a license.
The charges stem from an encounter with a Shelby Police officer who stopped Poston near the intersection of Peeble and Kenmore streets believing he might be driving a stolen vehicle.
Poston allegedly got out of the vehicle and ran away. Shelby Police employed a K-9 dog to track Poston. While fleeing from police, Poston allegedly fired at the dog. Police say the animal is uninjured.
