Very cool
The site didn't seem to say where they hope to build it, though, or maybe I just missed it.

I thought you were talking about the psychedelic tryptamine DMT. I was ready to post a lot of nasty stuff about it.

It's not invisible. It's just dark.

It is not invisible to the effects of gravity.

you can't see gravity.
i guess they will have to use false colour images to portray to us what dark matter kindof looks like - if we could see it.

dmt is required for your brain to function and is produced naturally in the pineal gland

I smoked DMT at a rainbow gathering and everyone was a skelleton. Then I ran through the bushes, puked, and passed out.

Sure you can, just trip on a uneven sidewalk.

So now you are just a shade of your former self?

Perhaps when built, this telescope's expansion of our conscious mind is similar to what tryptamines can do on the inward expansion of consciousness, so maybe we could get one more float from this thread about the future mother of all telescopes. ...
a good page from the guided tour:
http://www.dmtelescope.org/Tour/unseen_universe.shtml
The luminous universe is just 5% of the stuff that's out there, the rest is 'dark' stuff.
"Now, even the notion that the galaxies and stars comprise most of our universe is being abandoned. Emerging is a universe largely governed by dark matter and, we are beginning to think, by an even stranger dominance of a smoothly-distributed and pervasive dark energy."
But what does this mean (P.11):
"...suggest that some form of dark energy, when combined with the gravity of the dark matter, creates a flat cosmic geometry in which parallel light rays remain parallel."
Read on, page 11 and 12 ... this is astounding ! I don't want to wait any more for the movies ! This is Our Consciousness expanded with the mother-of-all-mega Imax making telescopes..! ( well soon...)

Einstein's theory of general relativity helps you to detect dark matter quite nicely.
