    Way cooler than dark matter, is antimatter. Something that we actually know exists.

    Gah, why just antimatter? Why not go on with other antiparticles, such as positrons, anti-neutrinos, antiquarks, or even dark energy? I guess we're not sure that dark energy exists though.

    All that is exactly anti-matter.

    Ah, thank you for that. I'm quite new to the world of complex physics, just a few weeks in.

    @Quietus: sorry, I gave the wrong meaning. I asked a friend of mine this weekend, a pulse of light is when it goes on and off, and on single flash is a pulse. A normal laser is continuous, but even if it was a pulsed laser, they just had to say the word 'pulse'. Laser is light anyway, so it might well be laser.

    I would say the pulse being refered to is something similar to Dirac's Delta Function in a laser. An extremely short burst of laser light...
