Hey,

What are ye're opinions of this? Is there any chance they are not measuring the mass of the visible matter correctly (And thus underestimating the Gravitational Lensing effect of that visible matter)?

I don't know myself obviously. I'm relatively new to all of this and I know that some of you guys know much more about this stuff than I do.

Kevin.
