  • really informative and interesting

  • Study tip:

    We can see the tracks of dark matter by the distortion of light caused by it.

  • Is it possible that this gravity silhoutte was generated by the micro-singularity? a black hole the size of a ping-pong ball but with enough density to generate the gravity that rival the biggest star

  • @lanunselat black holes, even supermassive black holes, take up no space, it is a singularity but still retains the wieght, or gravity, of the matter it used to be. no black hole is anywhere near the size of a ping-pong ball, they'[re much smaller than even electrons

  • @maxdorries Isn't the event horizon considered part of the black hole?

  • @01000001011100100111 yes the event horizon is like the 'atmosphere' of a black hole i guess you'd say, it's just the point of no return when entering a black hole, space and time still exist. but the singularity, the infinitely small, dense point where space and time cease is where einstien's equations yield infinity and quantum mechanic's equations yield and infinite number of infinities. basically this point is where space and time make no sense at all

  • Let's send the USS Enterprise to investigate.

  • I have been to the Tower/Sudan mine. I went down there on a field trip in highschool. We got to go down inside of it. Never would have known it was such a cool place if it wasnt for these people!

  • I think the term "Dark Matter" jus means, "Don't know what the Fhuk it means, twice"

  • They don't have a f*ck*ng idea of what dark matter is. That's all. They only know they are wrong.

  • Why a particle? Why not a field effect resulting from the energy in transit in free space analogous to the perpendicular magnetic field that accompanies an electric current? Certainly all that energy being radiatied out into free space from stars/galaxies must have some aggregate effect on point sources of mass in space.

  • @bdpra68 Scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) recently discovered that neutrinos may travel faster than the speed of light, which dark matter is just left over energy that are causing galexys to move faster. Scientists know way more about neutrinos than dark matter, so I doubt they theorize that they are the same thing.

  • Comment removed

  • don't some people believe neutrinos are actually dark matter?

  • @bdpra68 wiki it. There are some scientists who believe they may be neutrinos, but people like Michio don't think so. There is also some ideas that what we call dark matter may just be gravitons leaking into our universe from a parallel universe

  • @Torbjoern87 that is the natural course of thinking, but you may have forgotten the fact that there is dark energy which is increasing the speed of the universe. If there is this 'extra gravity' which appears from nowhere, then it should also have an effect on the overall acceleration of the universe (i.e. by slowing it down). This, I think, is the reason why that isn't the proposed theory behind these observations and instead, the theory of 'Dark matter' has been accepted.

  • The video "The Dark Matter Myth" demonstrates mathematically that the Dark Matter is a Myth.

    Hector

  • what if there is something else that causes light bedding? then our way to determine dark matter is no longer accurate.

  • Dark matter is the absence of matter. Picture it like a bubble coming up from the depths of the ocean. It expands, separates, joins again and may even bounce off other bubbles, yet the number of molecules remain the same and shielded from the ocean. It is not constant as they suggest. Only an over-educated mind would take everything he has learned about the universe being in motion, and suggest something is not in motion and remains constant....duhhh. Everything is moving, so is nothing.

  • Goddidit!

  • SandustanBrasov

    And yet, we can see, we can visualize the ethereal matter. The scheme to one device for to visualize the ethereal matter: EXIST! And this device it can realize!

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The matter of the our terrestrial globe has four states of aggregation: solid, liquid, gseous and ethereal and not three after official science. The matter on which we see it, proceed from the ethereal matter, which from cancentration in concentration it had constituted in the electrons, in protons respectivel;y in the atoms of the chemical elements which had overtaken at the gaseous, liquid and solid state. All the matter on which we see it, is condensed ether.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL MATTER is the visible matter with free eye and is constituted from atoms of the chemical elements. The PHYSICAL-ETHEREAL MATTER is a matter with atoms more small with 7..8 order of dimension than the atoms of chemical elements, and the bodies formed from this matter are invisible for the human eye. The ETHEREAL PHYSICS it occupy with the study of the ethereal matters, but which was abandoned in the XX century, because in 1905 A.Einstein excludes the ether

  • • SandustanBrasov But the ETHER is a physical reality constituted from a very small matter, invisible for human eye, and is formed from atoms more small with 7...8 order of dimension than the atoms of the chemical elements. The matter of the ether penetrate in all the visible bodies and is the physical matter which fills both the interplanetary space and the interatomic space. The ether is a matter with mass and weigth, being subdued and she the action of the universal attraction law.

  • I know the universe is all about the dark matter

  • We don't have any direct visual evidences. So we are supposed to believe this all !

  • @vigneshmegan So you don't think black holes exist either? because we detect them in the same way.

  • @Stafare No man... scientists say that dark matter exist and it hold the whole universe...! we can accept that...

    But thinking about Black holes... will need a lot of knowledge about astronomy... we can't say by mere seeing this video friend... we need a proof to believe this all... ya, I too believe black holes, worm holes, dark matter and dark energy are there in space... we have to prove it na, bye... take care...

  • • SandustanBrasov

    Nikola Tesla argued that:"I hold that the space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can has not properties. Of properties it can speak only when it work with the matter which fill up the space. The empty space it can not curve because - something - can not action about - nothing". This relativity proceed from a philosophical direction, on which A.Einstein produce her when he was found in a state of technical and religious confusion.....................­.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The scientist man Nikola Tesla showed that the relativity theory was the creation of the great philosopher Ruder Boscovich and was emited with over 200 years ago, dealt with relativity, including to so-called time-space continuum, and from this taken and A.Einstein a great part and alter it.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    Einstein considers the gravity as a property of the space and not in the least as a property of the matter which fill up this space. The relativity theory of the Einstein is a geometrization of the space. Leibnitz(1646...1716) German scientist, forerunner of the mathematical logic, through the denial the newtonian space-time is and he a forerunner of the Einstein's relativity.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    Were introduced in physics the infinite mass phantoms, the infinite energy phantoms and the infinite impulse phantoms when a body or particle would touch the light speed in vacuum. Today we know that many particles were accelerate unill at the light speed, others had arrived with this speed from cosmos, but at none grow up not at infinite or near of infinite the mass, the energy or the impulse.

    

  • • SandustanBrasov

    It renounce thus at the absolute space and at the absolute time. From the simple and linear transformations of the Galilei's relativity it arrive at the Lorentz- Einstein's transformations through the introduction to two factors, subunitary and superunitary. Thus, with these confusions about space and time it passed at the adequate changes about the whole physics.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    Actually Einstein, from theoretical confusion and of megalomania, establish that none object with mass can not outrun the light speed.He succeeding, how written publications of the time, let vex much people, then, whenever over a hundred of people of science had signed a petition in which they upholded that the relativity theory is mistaken, is fallacious.Einstein upholded his relativity theory, believing in the fact that then, nobody can not to demonstrate him the contrary.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    But in 1905, A.Einstein conclude that the ether hasn't a correspondent in reality and constitute not a medium which let can serve as reference system. Thus Einstein renounced to the ether notion and absolute space and emits the two restricted relativity principles. By it content the second principle excludes the ether, impose as limit of bodies' movement - the light speed - and denatured completely the classic dynamics reality.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The physicists Hendrik A.Lorentz admits existence of the ether, but emit the hypothesis that any body which it move in report with the ether, with a speed V, suffers a contarction, in the sense that the parallel dimension with the motion's direction it decrease, creating a subunitary factor and arranging formulas in this sense,H.A.Lorentz showed that once with the process of contraction it admits and a dilatation of the time, he alters in this sense the relation to Galilei.

  • • • SandustanBrasov

    The Michelson-Morley experiments(1881) with the purpose to put in evidence the Earth movement face of one immobile ether, for too be taken as a reference system, had forever the same result. Thus the experiments had showed: 1).-that the ether is complete training with the mass and the Earth's atmosphere; 2).- and that our conception about ether as reference system is not right.

  • SandustanBrasov

    It popularize the fantastical theories and stantardized theories with which it terrorize the inhabitants the Earth, after what Einstein with relativity theory had blocked the science of the century XX. Sptephen Hawking and roger Penrose had demonstrated in 1967 that the black holes proceed from the relativity theory. How it can conceive and it can say that the heart of the one black hole is a gravitational singularity whose volume tend to zero and whose mass tend to infinite?

  • SandustanBrasov

    Through the relativity theory to Einstein of over century, it hold with strenght -as a conspiracy a general activity of intellectual stultify of the planetary population. from relativity theory proceed the notion of: singularity, Big bang, black holes and holes of worm. From 1905 and till now in 2011, the disciples of the Einstein, preach with contumely as scientific elements of high class these theoretical confusions, these absurdities from which they had made a business.

  • SandustanBrasov

    The notion of dark matter and dark energy proceed from theoretical physics, from relativity theory of the A. Einstein, from the mistaken interpretation of the physical reality. Something exist indeed: and matter and energy; but is the much ethereal matter and the her energys from the her frame. Dark energy and cosmic acceleration are a failure of relativity of the Einstein.

  • You know, I am glad this program is loaded here on YouTube for my enjoyment, but the visual and sound quality absolutely sucks. With all the static over the sound and poor picture quality it's difficult to enjoy this presentation!

  • @eladral I'm not noticing those things on or in sound or video. Granted, it isn't the best videio, but...

  • The only way to conquest other planets / galaxies is the learn to use dark matter/energy for our benefit. Spacehips that use dark matter/energy and the life span of humans may be increased to near immortality. But first step is to practice life without the "harmful" influence of gravity on living things. That is going to be the next big discovery.

  • @frankword75

    If we go out into the universe and start "conquesting" everywhere, I'm handing in my human card and migrating to another speices out of sheer embarassment.

  • Universe within a universe is a nice thought but it's pretty far fetched.

    What if the other dimensions where not what we think but really the nature of the strings themselves?  instead the strings vibrations are the dimensions ? Yes, I know I am no Brian Greene or michio but the way they explain is the wAy I'm seeing it.

  • i don't if dark matter contains a lot of friction.

  • Why are there morons debating evolution on something that's nowhere near related to evolution. DIAF.

  • Not even guessing what he is thinking. I have his word and it lets me know that he created it all. God said it, I believe it, that settles it for me. If you don't believe in God's word, there is not place to start. I do believe it. I have been to college and had several biology classes, meterology class, etc. I understand and find science very interesting, and have studied and taught on this very subject, about stars, galaxies and new stars being birthed, the universe constantly expanding, etc.

  • @naanaa1111 Let me tell you a little bit on my beliefs. God so far is an impssible hypothesis by science stardards. So far what its staarting to look like was that something accelerated evolution for the human species which probably would have been what is called god and forgive me but i have not read too much of the bible but what i have read was in the garden of eden God created eve from adams rib which although very unethical can be done by means of what you would call cloning

  • @naanaa1111 Continuing on while looking through religions now have to read this cause this probably sounding realy fruity but the i have looked through many cultures and religions and what i have found was that the mayans thought they were being visited by there gods but it wasant t he every time a crises happens, this was on a regular basis. And infact many native american paintings from WAY before the white settlers came depicted there gods coming down to earth and leaving

  • @naanaa1111 of vehicle. (ugh i bet i sound crazy) The most popular was i believe moctezuma or palinka (i think thats how its spelled) being suppposedly being cast down to the underworld. But it is also believed to be him leaving in some of a ship. NOw recall in the bible god said "Let US create man in OUR own image" Now dosent that seam like there is more than 1 god? Well theres my take on that. Call me crazy i dont care but believe what you want. Gooday sir

  • @MajoraKing97 I use to view the bible as a nice story that a bunch of guys wrote, but now I view it as words that men wrote as they were moved by God to write. As for evolution, carbon dating is not accurate and there are no fossil records to substantiate evolution. It is a theory, unproven by science. Scientific theory is proven by observation of facts. Evolution is not a fact, but a theory unproven by Science.

  • @naanaa1111 ...ugh. Here i got a little experiment to tell you about then (ive forgotten there names) These people wanted to test out evolution so they caught a couple of foxes and kepp them around for about a hundred years. They and there sons watched the animals animals over this time and found that they were were slowly becoming dog like. This is what is called domestication.Another species is boar over many MANY the boars lost there horns and fur because they no longer needed it.

  • @MajoraKing97 ....ok, that sounds like folklore and not scientific factual observation. So when you really know what you believe, we'll talk again.

  • @naanaa1111 folklore? ugh no its not. This was a an experiment conducted somewhere in europe i just forgot their names so thats why i said in that way.

  • @naanaa1111 Because man was giving them there food and taking care of them. they lost the need for many of there adaptations. This sir is evolution. They adapted to there environment. They changed.

  • @MajoraKing97 You see adaptations and changes within species, but what you do not see is a dog become a cat. You do not see fossil records that support an invertebrate become an vertebrate. Carbon dating has been proven inaccurate. That's science.

  • @naanaa1111 Sir im not talking about carbon dating at all thats just to tell how old something is and who does a dog become a cat? And im ignoring the fossil bit cause i dont know what you trying to say.

  • @naanaa1111 so you really don't know anything about the arguments for evolution, you just believe it...without knowing any facts to really back it up...hmmm...that sounds like faith to me.... Evolution is a religion. You have to have faith to believe in it, because there are so many holes in the theory that don't connect the dots. But your saying you have faith to believe in evolution without proof, but you don't believe in God creating it all without proof...??? Alrighty then!!

  • @naanaa1111 By that logic, life in general is a religion. Every day life requires enormous leaps of faith that we don't even consider. You believe what your senses tell you about your surroundings, when in actuality it's only an interpretation by your brain of the information your senses collect. That is reality. You can only truly define a fact as "having enough evidence to make it the most plausible theory". You might think something happened, but you have no idea if your senses malfunctioned.

  • @TruthMovement330 ok...that made very little sense...ummm...as I said earlier... Scientific theory is PROVEN by observation. Evolution is an UNPROVEN theory that is not substantiated by facts...namely, fossil records that connect invertabrates evolving to vertabrates...i.e. - amebo's evolving to worms evolving to sprouting legs and a backbone...it just isn't there. That is a fact, not gobbly-gook.

  • Laminin

  • God is great. Allahu akbar

  • @Aladoniss The wonders of science begin and end with God. He is that invisible energy holding it all together. You have a right to leaving God out of your thought process and I have a right to have Him in mine. This is not communist China, we have a right to free speech here in America...for now.

  • @naanaa1111 You're being a dick, ppl come here to learn about dark matter & dark energy not about what your opinions about god and eternal hellfire. It's not illegal to, it just makes you a dick.

  • @Aladoniss and I'm just saying you're not in charge of the topic. This is a free forum. If you don't like what I have to say, block me. I happen to believe in intelligent design and that God himself is that invisible energy that is expanding and holding together the universe. Just because you don't like to retain God in your knowledge, doesn't make my comment less relevant. The answer to all things will never be found as long as God is left out of the equation.

  • @Aladoniss Who died and made you God of this posting? You stay on your topic and I will stay on mne.

  • Comment removed

  • Why are the video's resolution so crappy?

  • the matter in our universe had to come from some where. Matter cannot be created nor destroyed, only changed from one form to another, and I am saying that black holes process the mass that falls into it to make dark matter, and the Dark Matter Universe could a Bose-Einstein Condensate, and during the Big Bang was released into the universe as we now know it, See video for domo.

  • Maybe God doesn't like to go down to the middle of the earth very often where hell is that he has reserved for those that refuse to acknowledge him...

  • @naanaa1111 This is science dude, we don't wana know about fairytales

  • @ArinOngunTV No fairtale to it. It's the truth, and it is what it is. Dark Matter or "stuff" is God Almighty himself holding it all together. If you and scientist, whom God chuckles at their "wisdom", do not wish to acknowledge him, it does not change the truth. He created it all, and still is creating...Men will never figure him out.

  • @naanaa1111 Scientist prove stuff by researching for decades about the topic. Your version of events only take 2 minutes to think of because you flick through a bible and think you know it all. You suffer from delusional thoughts and hallucinations. Don't tell me whats wrong and right when these hard working men like Michio Kaku are out everyday trying to prove stuff. Also don't try to guess what god is thinking

  • Tripple darkness baby! all day! oh yea!

  • Do we know that dark matter has to exist in the form of particles? Can't the abnormalities observed in space be caused by the influence of gravity from somewhere else? I just came from a documentary on String/M-Theory and how the weakness of gravity could be explained by its ability to cross through higher dimensions. In my mind, this should fit well with gravity appearing from "nowhere" in our known universe. However, I am just some fascinated dummy, so please enlighten me if I am way off. :)

  • @Torbjoern87 na its just magic

  • @deathjester145 lol, and black holes are really wizards yelling "You Shall Not Pass!", i presume? :P

  • @Torbjoern87 String theory and other higher dimension theories are far to complicated. Nature prefers much simpler solutions. Simple building blocks that build complex systems. It is very likely that even fundamental particles like the electron are made from even smaller simpler particles. Even the idea of a aether is making a comeback and a very strong possibility.

  • @nikolayzou Yeah, it's funny how the enormous compares to the tiny. Who knows, there might even be universes within universes. And there probably is no such thing as "nothing".

  • @Torbjoern87 I have a theory that suggests the definition of nothings equals the building blocks to all atomic matter. The idea is that if there was nothing in the universe except tiny little energy packets or particles all being identical, ie having the same energy, then you might as well say you have nothing because there is no reference point. You only begin to have something when energy particles become different to others, ie they take up more space causing a stretch being gravity.

  • @Torbjoern87 well it might exits in the form of energy and besides who knows the universe does alot of things very strangely

  • @kistershi lol wut

  • the thing is that it's not physical ... like when you astral project you cannot interact with physical :) ... actually it doesn't matter ... that's the point ... and everything is thought responsive ... people rationalizing things ... ACTUALLY THERE IS NO MATTER ... NO STUFF ... IT'S JUST YOU AND THIS MATRIX OF PHYSICAL ... one of billions of dimensions ... WE SEE WHEN WE DIE :) ... only if we cling to beliefs people take much longer to realize what conscience is :)!!!

  • about the galaxies moving to fast, would the supermassive black hole in the center not make up for the missing mass?

  • ouch 1999922937555 nurtinos passed through me right now lol

  • before the earth was ''created'' it would of been nothing but dark'' which the universe would have been cold and ICEY... what i will like to know is that how a SUN in our universe could had been ''Created'' when the universe was ice

  • @legalis1 the absence of light does not mean cold. In fact light itself causes almost no heat at all; the sun emits thousands of rays of energy, but we can only see7 of them. light does not cause heat, it's the other way around: heat causes light, the colors that we "see" are dependent on what you're heating. So what causes heat? Particles moving against each other very rapidly (friction). you can do this yourself; rub 2 pieces of cloth together very quickly, and they get hot.

  • @legalis1 ^ran out of room... Stars are formed when many particles (mostly gas) collect in one spot (due to gravity) and begin bumping into each other. The more particles you have, the more rubbing (there for more friction) occurs. when enough particles are gathered, they create enough friction to ignite, and a star is born. you can do the same thing by rubbing 2 sticks together to make fire... it's a little more complicated than that though

  • only theory...

    so easy create a theory...

    the true is... no one knows a shit... and everyone ll die without no a shit.

  • @brunormc Like how we used to believe a almighty man created the earth from nothing. We learn new things every day.

  • @brunormc They put those theories to the test by creating models and see if it has any validity by comparing it to the real thing. They don't just make a theory and say it's what happens.

  • Must resist making...

    a joke about The Force....

  • the more advanced science becomes the more godly it becomes. I think at some point in the future, the differences between science and god will intertwine. While some scientist are trying to find answers away from the answer god, they may be getting closer to it instead

  • They don't have a clue what dark matter is. How stupid are they.

  • @nikolayzou How are they stupid? They know there is something else they just finding it hard to detect it. Atleast they are trying to work it out rather then saying "God does it"

  • @nikolayzou

    Not as stupid as you, that's for sure...

  • @nikolayzou So, you know?

  • @sk0616

    I have a very good idea of what dark energy is, yes.

  • "imagine I'm the dark matter" but ur not black D=

  • types of matter are ordinary matter, anti-matter (reversely charged particles), dark matter (doesnt emit light), and exotic matter (not affected by radiation)

  • but I thought the shape of galaxies were due to massive black holes at the center

  • @Kingpin745 blackholes are mostly in center of a galaxy, they are from neutron stars exploded.

  • @FlyNDanz When you mention the black holes at the center of galaxies, you are talking about the small percentage of black holes that are "Super-Massive Black Holes". Most black holes are of :normal" size for black holes, 3-8 times the mass of the sun. The "Super-Massive" black holes are just that; super massive. They are typically 100's, if not 1,000's of times the mass of the sun.

  • So without dark matter we'll be blobs? :P

  • i think its the shit, that holds everything together somehow :p everything.

  • Dark matter is a diversion from actual understanding, hence the reason History Channel is broadcasting it. For better information, look into the following: magnetohydrodynamics, plasma electrodynamics, Hans Alvfen, and plasma astrophysical theory.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm confused by what could be a triviality, but I'll pose the question anyways. How would one observe lensing as a result of a dark matter congregate rather than that from a black hole?

    Thanks for posting.

  • doesnt an explosion of epic proportion occur when dark matter touches matter?

  • Why doesn't he just say matter instead of "stuff" so annoying.

  • @XllL00tXll

    that bothered me too. lol

  • @XllL00tXll Consider the target audience. Thought of as the dumber people of America. The Americans who are glued to the television and probably still don't know how to turn on a computer. The term "matter" on a show about "dark matter" would be too confusing to these poor souls.

  • @XllL00tXll

    We don't know what it is... Saying it is matter might be too specific. It is 'something' and that's all we know.

  • @XllL00tXll Many Philosophers refer to matter as stuff. I guess they adopted the same concept.

  • @XllL00tXll because its not really matter and they don't know what it is. Its just like a black hole

  • @XllL00tXll well... we don't know if that "stuff" is actually a form of "matter" or not... so calling it "stuff" is likely a better category for now until we find out what it actually is...

  • @XllL00tXll this is the dumbest comment i have ever seen and 17 morons voted for it. Poor attempt at humor.

  • @XllL00tXll

    Who cares? That's what matter mainly is, some stuff.

  • Comment removed

  • watching these shows while stoned is awesome

  • We live in a 3D world,obviously the things we cannot explain but have evidence of are related to higher dimensions.If they explained the 11th dimensional world would be all the dimensions passing and mixing with each other.Then obviously if there are higher dimensional planes that pass through us we would not be able to see or comprehend them,just like dark matter could be a higher dimensional plane shifting through ours.And just like black holes have different laws of nature.

  • if there is dark matter between galaxies i wonder how we will travel safely between galaxies?

  • So science is currently without answer about the purpose of the Universe. Hmm...

  • The aim of science is to find out how things are, not why.

  • @isycatboy they are not thick...if they solve it they have no job and no funding...quote holy scrolls of cheddar mark 3 (10 mins)

  • @isycatboy What makes you think the universe needs a purpose?

  • @gamesbok The universe and all inside it follow patterns... but you probably can't see them. One needs to stop being distracted by physical man-made objects to actually ponder on why in the universe we are in this Life perception and why in a certain direction of events.

  • @isycatboy What the hell are you on about?

  • @gamesbok Exactly, a purpose is a human concept so probably there is no such thing for Universe. However this also does not deny a purpose. It can be either way IMHO.

  • @TheXaFFaX If we propose a purpose, is that a falseifible proposition? Is it in some way verifible? If not then it's not a scientific question. Indeed the Logical Positivists would argue that it isn't a statement at all.

  • @gamesbok For now it may not be verifiable. Many of theories are not yet verifiable by experiment. There was many examples in the past of this (for example Einstein's theories - only some of them were proven by experiment or observation). So I do not think that a question that cannot be verified at present time is not a scientific question. Forming questions is very important, it is the beginning of knowledge, as it makes you search for the answer. Even if the answer is that the question is bad.

  • @TheXaFFaX I didn't make myself clear. The question must be verifible in principle. It doesn't matter if the experiment cannot be conducted for technical reasons, using the Logical Positivist view point. Is it a real question, who's answer would have some detectable consiquence for our world? Metaphysics doesn't cut it.

  • @gamesbok So if I understand correctly (I'm not sure :) ) we should seek answers of those, that give us some detectable (physical) proof that the question is right? That would be of course the best. However sometimes it is not possible. In any case, in my opinion formulating questions and seeking knowledge by either experiment or theory is very important. Even if you are wrong it makes you think and it makes others think and this is progress. Thanks to this we know more and more about universe.

  • @TheXaFFaX The distinction, if I understand Logical Positivists correctly, is that the question must be, even if only in principle, be answerable. eg there are mountains on the far side of the moon. Even if you can't launch the rocket to answer the question, you can imagine the experiment. The metaphysical statement 'God takest part in, but is himself, incapable of evolution' is not testable, and therefore is essentially meaningless.,

  • @gamesbok Ok I understand. However the problem is, that sometimes you do not know if the question can be testable or not, even considering certain logic. Just because we cannot imagine the experiment doesn't mean that in the future such experiment would not be possible. There are things in the Universe that we cannot imagine as of yet (like extra dimensions). Of that I am certain. Why? because we know very little about space and time, our science exists for like 100 years, this is very little.

  • @isycatboy Science is not around to answer the questions of "purpose". At all. Purpose is still in the realm of philosophy, not science.

    And the way I see it, each individual person has to create purpose for themselves. As for the purpose of the universe, I think its purpose is merely to exist.

  • @isycatboy I understand that science isn't out there to answer philosophical questions. But if ants turned as smart as humans, found a car and studied it, wouldn't they begin to assume it was use for transport after a few thousand years? And at the same time, why do scientists affirm a superior power doesn't exist at times? Shouldn't they just mind the physical phenomenas?

  • @isycatboy So is religion.

  • @isycatboy "purpose?" why does the universe need a "purpose?" it just "is." and you are in it. you can have your own purpose, because you are living - and sentient and conscious. the universe is not a living thing, so it doesn't have a "purpose." just like rocks don't have a "purpose." they just are.

  • @isycatboy

    If you are referring that a certain religion has the answer as opposed to science, you are a fucking idiot and you deserve to be beat to unconsciousness. If you are an agnostic - yes, nice observation.

  • @HaliFins Yes I am agnostic and no I'm not a bigot and thank you for being on the progressive side.

  • But if the WIMPs really are Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, how can something that passes through everything hold a galaxy together? Does space have any atmoshpere? If so, it may be like water and air, and just give resistance. So without the initial explostion of a sun providing expansion in space, the "water" would just fold in and collapse, that's the resistance.

    ?

  • @kayjames888 Don't believe the lies...

    Michio Kaku is with the illuminati and wants souls for the devil (his Boss) so they can control heaven and earth... There is no such thing as "air"!

  • @KeVinRuDDz I agree as was written in the book of brie chapter blue 'for he whom consumes without sharing with his brother......consumes himself'

  • @kayjames888

    There are 4 kinds of forces that we know of till now. Gravity, Electromagnetism, Weak and Strong. Ordinary matter (in bigger scales) interact with Gravity and elecromagnetism (E&M). For example when you touch an object, charges from your hand repel the charges on the object you touch in microscopic scales. And again, these charges generate nerver signals which are again waves of charges. (all E&M)

    Subatomic particles interact with E&M, weak and strong forces. --Contd below-

  • @kayjames888

    WIMPs are particles which doesnt interact with other particles through E&M. We ASSUME that it does interact through the weak force. (since whatever partlces we observed till now does interact through it). WIMPs also interact via gravity.

    Since everything we see around us interacts thru E&M, WIMPs are difficult to detect. IT passes thru us, because to be "stopped" by us, it needs to INTERACT with us thru E&M.

    Hope I explained it well. If not I can try again.

  • hahaha "rotates to fast for their own good"

  • You know what, dark mater makes me think of subspace from star trek. Why?

    Well it's simple, image that a large number, or infinite number, of universes existed parallel of ours, and that the only effect we could feel, was the gravity generated from the mass of the object(s) in the other 'universes'.

    The biggest issue is, how to move between them... sadly, from what I can figure, that's impossible, since 0 'w' oriented energy exists in our universe.

    w=inter-dimensional. or perhaps I'm wrong.

  • To me dark matter sounds like something that scientists made up to explain something that under their own laws of physics didn`t quite add up.

  • @konman001

    Well currently... you're half right.

    Since dark mater is simply a place holder.

    We know x, and feature y doesn't fit, so we look for z, but until we find z we simply give it a name. This is how language works :P

  • Hmmm . . . I could apply this to US economy.

    My theory is that the US economy has more money than we can see. The money that we see in US economy accounts for only 10% of our wealth - but we can't detect the other 90% of the wealth because it's "dark" money.

    How is this possible? We already do most of our monetary transactions electronically which is paperless money that we don't see.

    I propose that we spend trillions of dollars to hire con-artists to find the missing "dark" money.

  • @konman001 LOL

    '

    The only difference is... that with dark mater, we don't know what it is, while electronic money, we do.

    You see the difference :P

  • if the fact doesnt mach the theory!

    change the fact!

    einstein said that hehe

  • Einstein did say that. . .haha...lets try it out -

    Hmmm. . . I really want that Mercedes. . . but the ATM tells me I only got $7000. Maybe I can convince it that there is "dark money" somewhere in there and it constitutes 90% of my bank account and it cannot be detected - but it is there! The $7000 it sees is only 10% of the total value of my account - trust me!

    Oh no . . . I forgot - this is something that only banks themselves can do when they loan money. . . but not me :-(

  • hahahahaahahahahahahaha thats funny

    well if u finnaly got ur 90% plz send me a benz to ; ) hehe

    my maestro is at end times :P

  • hahaha - will you give me a nobel prize if I send you the benz?

    By the way. . . I recently realized that there already exists an indirect proof of my "dark money" theory - bankers have been using "fractional-reserve banking" for centuries which utilizes assumptions similar to my theory :D
