He leaves the world a much better place. Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s, when he had just finished his PhD in geics. At that time, much of the public viewed testtube babies as scary, according to Mark Sauer, a professor at Columbia University, US. Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches, governments and media, not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists. People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature, Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt quite alone at the time. But Edwards was a fighter, and he believed in what he was doing, said Sauer. Without support from the government, the two struggled to raise funds to carry on.

But many believe the reason is that much of the universe is made of something called “ dark matter” . Groups of stars called galaxies, such as the Milky Way, might even be made up of 90 percent dark matter. How much something weighs depends on where it is. The same object weighs only half as much on Mars as it does on Earth and almost three times as much on Jupiter. So scientists prefer to talk about the mass (質(zhì)量 ) of something rather than how much it weighs, because mass does not change. They can work out the mass of galaxies by measuring the distance between them and the speed they move at. Recently, Je Pe241。arrubia, a senior academic at Edinburgh University, UK, and his team discovered something interesting: The mass of the Milky Way is only half as much as the mass of another nearby galaxy, Andromeda.
