[edit] Why is this article needed?

Can the creators/editors of this article please clarify?

The stub mentions general relativity, but there are already articles on

• dust solutions in gtr
• intergalactic dust clouds
• interstellar dust clouds

If the intent is to clarify how the word "dust" is used in classical gravitation with how that word is used in "astronomy", I think this can be clarified in the existing articles.

Depending on the answer to my query, I guess that it would be appropriate to merge this article with the existing articles and the remove this item from the disambiguation page.

• Just reading over the articles, I can see how it might be merged with dust solution, but I really don't feel comfortable offering much advice here on general relativity. We should probably ask the folks at WikiProject Physics.--Pharos 16:03, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Yup, merge with Dust solution. I didn't know that page was there when I created Dust (relativity). Maybe make a redirect.
