... Mark Jaworsky will present one early next year. ... It is theorized that Dark Matter is responsible for holding galactic (Program, continued on page 3) (Program, continued from page 2) systems together and that without it, galaxy-mass structures just would have not come into existence. ... Researchers use the theory of Dark Matter to explain this discrepancy. ... The standard theory of gravity still applies and dark matter still exists, but somehow the dark matter emulates MOND. ...

... The authors compare different standpoints on historical process of ethnoses emerging and developing on the area of Ancient Russ and Great Steep: a) the concept of M.Adgi ("panturkism"), Turks ethnos was prevailing on the area; b) the concept of G.V.
