Stephen Perrenod holds Ph.D. and Master’s degrees in Astronomy from Harvard University and a Bachelor’s in Physics from MIT. His primary research focus was on the cosmological evolution of X-ray emitting clusters of galaxies. After several years as a postdoctoral researcher in astrophysics he moved into the high performance computing field, where he has worked for over a quarter century. He has been a frequent public speaker on HPC, Grid and Cloud computing topics. When he was active in astrophysics in the 1970s, the cosmological constant – which now is of such great significance – was usually dismissed as unlikely to have a non-zero value.

Hubble Telescope maps Dark Matter

Hello Stephen!
I just found your web site and it looks great. I’m very interested in dark matter (and also the hypothesized first quantum particle of the universe) and have some new ideas about it. I have a B.Sc. from MIT also (’67), an M.Sc. physics from University of Illinois and a Ph.D. in Psychology (’77) (experimental) from Stanford. My website is http://www.superluminalquantum.org and I have a new article there called “A tranluminal energy quantum model of the cosmic quantum” . A spinoff from this model is two possible candidates for dark matter particles — a fermion and a boson. I’m planning to present this work at the coming APS April meeting in Denver. I would very much like to discuss some of these ideas with you and hear your ideas also if you’re interested. The article mentioned above will be published in a scientific proceedings book by World Scientific this summer.
all the best,
Richard Gauthier
