'Primordial' gas ring gives birth to baby galaxies

More problems for the gravity gurus.

“In a cosmic case of delayed development, dwarf galaxies have been found growing in a ring of gas that seems to be left over from the early universe. Strangely, the new galaxies appear to lack dark matter, suggesting a fraction of the universe's first galaxies might have been born from gas alone.”

I question what leads them to believe that the "gas" (lawl) is primordial besides the fact it is composed of only hydrogen and helium.

As we all know, after the big bang we were left with a finite set of building blocks and no more hydrogen/helium can be manufactured.

Hi mnemeth1,
Let me see if I've got this right. Big Bang theory was found to have holes in it, so they filled them with dark matter. Now dark Matter theory has holes in it too. So what are they going to fill these holes with? Darker Matter?
A few random sellections from the New Scientist article:

But unlike other dwarf galaxies, which can boast 10,000 times more dark matter than ordinary matter, the Leo Ring dwarfs do not seem to contain much of the mysterious stuff.

"It's a kind of laboratory to study galaxy formation," comments Frederic Bournaud of the Commission for Atomic Energy in Saclay, France.

To clinch the case, the team is planning follow-up observations using the Great Canary Telescope...

'I thought I saw a puddy cat' said Professor Tweet E. Pye of the Warner Brothers Institute.

It is not clear what is triggering the new star formation. The culprit could be gravitational tugs from a spiral galaxy that sits some 300,000 light years away from the star clusters.

300,00 lights years away is almost as far as these guys are from reality or common sense.

Errngh ??

Nice thing is that the article refers to the Electric Universe as the solution to the enigma.

The actual article in New Scientist doesn't mention the EU.
