The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer is a new attachment that’ll soon be bolted onto the International Space Station . It’s mission-to detect dark matter and probably uncover the ” anti universe” as made famous by decades of bad sci-fi.
The main mission of the AMS, which has been in development for some twenty years, is to track down the mystery ” dark matter” that accounts for the majority of stuff inside the universe. MIT professor Samuel Ting, 73, said of his project ” If there is an anti-universe, perhaps available in the market beyond the threshold of our universe, our space-based detector might be in a position to bring us signs of its existence” .
The AMS might be brought to the ISS early next year, as portion of the payload of space shuttle mission STS-134-the shuttle’s final flight. [ Reuters ]
