Scientific paper

Evidence is discussed that points to the existence of large amounts of unaccounted-for matter in galaxy clusters such as the Coma cluster. Random motions of member galaxies calculated from their red shifts indicate that within the 4.5-billion-year history of the universe, the galaxies would have dispersed unless strong gravitational forces counteracted their dispersion. The mass of the galaxies themselves is too small by a factor of 7 to account for these forces. It may be that the form of most of the matter in the universe is unknown to us.-
