...results are posing something of a problem for theorists. Says Jeremiah Ostriker, chairman of Princeton's astrophysics department: "There is no theory using conventional physics that can explain these structures without causing other inconsistencies." Ostriker has coauthored a quite unconventional scenario involving hypothetical objects called cosmic strings. These strings, he believes, could generate explosive bursts of energy that would in turn create the bubbles...
...condense into matter. Since then, ordinary visible matter, by itself, has probably not had time to gather into enormous structures. But cold dark matter may have condensed first, and its gravitational force could have helped pull visible matter into bubbles and galaxies. In fact, recent computer simulations at Princeton of a universe dominated by cold dark matter look remarkably like the real...
...that theory received a jolt from another astronomical discovery announced this week. Scientists from Caltech, Princeton and the Institute for Advanced Study have detected the most distant quasar (an exceptionally bright starlike object) ever spotted. It is billions of light-years away, and the researchers estimate that it existed when the universe was only 7% of its present age. It is hard to explain how a quasar could be formed that early, even under the influence of cold dark matter...

Junior forward Ted Donato learned that the injury he sustained after scoring a goal in the first period of the Crimson's 9-6 pasting of Princeton Saturday night at Bright was more serious than he had feared. Diagnosed with a broken collarbone, the speedy wing will be kept out of action for four to eight weeks...
