Scientists should never be censored | spiked: Jun 7, 5:36am 23 reviews science
http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/article/3998/; From the page: "There is no question that Watson's comments were trite, an attempt to explain away massive social problems in Africa by describing them as the product of alleged natural racial differences in intelligence. Watson is a proselytiser for genetics as a science of human behaviour, but in this instance he has confused science with politics. Whatever the explanatory powers of human genetics, it cannot tell us anything about why large parts of Africa remain impoverished, or about inequality between blacks and whites in parts of the developed world. Such impoverishment and inequality are products of political and cultural factors, not genetic traits possessed by black people. Yet silencing Watson is no way to counter his ideas."

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080520152013.htm; From the page: "Now, in an extensive search of the relatively recent, local universe, University of Colorado at Boulder astronomers said they have definitively found about half of the missing normal matter, called baryons, in the spaces between the galaxies. This important component of the universe is known as the intergalactic medium and it extends essentially throughout all of space, from just outside our Milky Way galaxy to the most distant regions of space observed by astronomers."
