Insight
The applicability of statistical process control (SPC) to software development has been debated since 1989, when the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) endorsed its use in the Capability Maturity Model (CMM). Proponents of the use of SPC techniques in software grasped how powerful the techniques could be beyond traditional manufacturing processes.
In astrophysics, dark matter is responsible for the universe not flying apart, thus encouraging the growth and stability of the universe's cohesiveness and structure.
