NOT NEW!

WALTER RUSSELL 1920's

THEORY OF EVERYTHING...simple sweet ACCURATE!

NOT ANOTHER SUPER GENIUS FROM THE WILD E. COYOTE SCHOOL OF PHYSICS

GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF EINSTEINS' ASS

NO BB NO BLACK HOLES NO DARK SHIT

Could dark matter be space itself? If space bends it has to have mass or energy. Though the particles of space defy our detection ability they must be there. They would be very small but there is a lot of space. I am not a physicist, just drawing conclusions based on what I am told about the nature of the universe by those that have the degrees.

It doesn't matter to it's existence if it is matter or an underdevelopment of our

field theories; it does exist wither way as we know it.

[BER2ERKER]

Dark matter is very clearly observed. Gravitational lensing is the best example of this observation. It's only called dark matter because we don't know what it is. It IS there, whatever it is. it is a non-smooth entity, unlike current gravity or dark energy; which, is why it was called dark matter. Dark energy, the name given to the cosmological constant (which by the way was predicted), is called energy because it is smooth and constant. These are questions of "what is it", not "does it exist"

@nikolayzou ""Dark matter exists, it is really the aether."" Wouldn't the aether be dark energy instead? just asking.

The current theory of gravity explains gravity as a "bend" in space time, the problem is a bend doesn't exists as an entity the same way a hole doesn't exists, so gravity might not be considered itself as a force. If it were, you could define the effects of it as either pulling or pushing. I haven't read this book, but any new definition of gravity must be able to explain this.

At 5:11 I like much this about negative time. It's like when you set the time on your digital clock. There are 2 buttons + and - .

@MisterBouncyBounce I agree, dark matter cannot be proven yet something is causing the effect. I believe it can be explained without dark matter(hidden extra gravity).

[MisterBouncyBounce]

@GateMessenger dark matter is not proved, it has not been observed. dark matter is a hypothesis. how i think your confused is this. a phenomena is what is being observed, someone postulates an explanation, that postulation is given a name, "dark matter".

it's nothing more than that. the phenomena is real but the explanation is suspect, it may very well be wrong, ie, dark matter may not even exist.

@GateMessenger Dark matter is not an observed phenomena, otherwise A) it wouldn't be dark and B) if it were observed, nobody would be looking for it any more. I mentioned escape velocity because that is the problem with stars on the outer rim of the galaxy, they move at a higher rate than the escape velocity of the galaxy if you base the escape velocity on the visible matter that forms the galaxy, therefore these stars should fly away from the galaxy rather than orbit it.

[GateMessenger]

@ivanleo Do you know what dark matter is? Dark matter is an observed phenomena taking place noticeably with the stars which makes up the outer arms of the Milky Way galaxy. It is an effect which was not predicted by current theories. What do you think is causing this effect? You are talking about escape velocity? Current theory of how galaxies form cannot explain why stars furthest from the core orbit faster than the stars nearest to the core. Insert gravity and it should be the opposite.
