Scientific paper

In this paper we review the evidence for dark matter in the form of compact bodies. This comes largely from the analysis of quasar light curves, where the failure to observe time dilation, the statistical symmetry of the variations, the near achromatic changes in brightness and the cusp like nature of many of the variations all point to a microlensing origin. In addition, where microlensing is observed in gravitationally lensed quasar sytems it is not clear that the variations can be accounted for by the microlensing of stars.
