GAIA

The european space agency project ,Gaia (Global Astrometric Interferometer for Astrophysics)will test Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity to the limits when it checks the perturbing effect of gravity on starlight to better than one part in a million. Gaia is a mission that will conduct a census of about one thousand million stars in our Galaxy. It will monitor each of its target stars about 70 times during a five-year period, precisely charting their positions, distances, movements and changes in brightness. Gaia is expected to discover hundreds of thousands of new celestial objects, such as extra-solar planets and failed stars called brown dwarfs. Within our own Solar System, Gaia should identify hundreds of thousands of asteroids.It will be launched on december 2011 (Soyuz rocket from French Guiana).Gaia's measurements will be so accurate that, if it were on Earth, it could measure the thumbnails of a person on the Moon.Estimates suggest that Gaia will detect about 15 000 planets beyond our Solar System. It will do this by watching out for tiny movements in the star's position caused by the minute gravitational pull of the planet on the star.-By www.esa.int

This is my kind of search. We can find dark matter by next mission after this mission.There is another experiment LHC(Switzerland),which may detect new unknown particals.

Dark matter-Relation with some supernatural things related to a person.

This year scientists explain a mysterious "force" called dark energy that is responsible for expanding the universe at an increasing pace and was only discovered about 10 years ago.

Scientists say that in few years they may able to explain the dark energy. A new method this year confirmed its existence, suggesting the force is stifling the growth of galaxies in the universe. Basically, in an expanding universe dominated by dark energy, galaxies fly away from one another rather than mingle and merge.

These results also suggest dark energy takes the form of what Einstein called the cosmological constant — a term in Einstein's theory of general relativity that represents the possibility of empty space having a density and pressure associated with it. -Space.com

According to Einstein if dark matter is related to empty space,then the misterious thing that make effects on us (my first post)is something that ,that make effects on us or indirectly give reflection of one's mind to everywhere all the time.Or this may not be related to dark matter or with the thing that Einstein called dark matter.
But there can only two things occur in space matter and antimatter.So the possibility is that the thing ,which i am taking about is related to any of these two matter and antimatter,but it spreads immmidiatly in space and no matter can be discovered till yet having this property,so i can say that this thing is related to antimatter or any alien world.
