Dark matter are invisible objects that react with matter by gravitational force. Scientists believe that the dark matter is made up of exotic particles like WIMPs(Weakly Interacting Massive Particles).In physical cosmology, dark energy is an exotic form of energy that permeates all of space and tends to increase the rate of expansion of the universe.Dark energy is the most popular way to explain recent observations that the universe appears to be expanding at an accelerating rate. In the standard model of cosmology, dark energy currently accounts for 73% of the total mass-energy of the universe.

  • lmao at all these people with their theories about how these people are wrong and stupid.. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD don't you think that science which has been studying these events for years, with some of the most brilliant minds like stephen hawking on their side, have not thought about some of the stupidest arguments you people are giving? ffs I hate it when ordinary people talk about science as if they have the answer to anything

  • how could it slow down , god damn it ?!! well, youve just said it , that when u look far in distance it is equal looking back in time !! So when u said that u ve seen galaxies 13 bil LY avay off course they are speeding up , couse they are yyyyyyyyyyyyyyounger of us 13 bil years !!!

see all

  • @Threatconcharlie Yes I understand what you mean too, and that is indeed the way new things and theories are discovered, but I was merely responding in a perhaps overly agressive way to some comments which were just stupid, and rude to the people who actually spend their life thinking about stuff like this, implying that they knew everything better, without ever giving it a second thought. But I get your point.

  • @sisikiller2 my apologies, I know what you mean. I do think it's a positive thing though, that many people have the opportunity to speculate on these things. It's usually a question of common sense that blows these theories wide open or excel them. I myself have a some what limited education on physics through high school, and working on electronic equipment in the Navy, but it has allowed me to grasp a lot of these concepts and theories.

  • @Threatconcharlie You understand me wrong, but that's perhaps because I expressed myself in a wrong way. Of course I know that scientists are still " ordinary" people, but all I meant was for some people to actually think before condemning these people who actually studied and have been thinking about these things for a long time, by claiming they are wrong and what they say is true, when they have never had an education concerning matters like this. And trust me there are a LOT of those people

  • @sisikiller2 For some one who has such faith in these brilliant minds, you have a very short term memory. A lot of these brilliant minds used to say the earth was flat, and we were the center of the universe. Then they said the universe only consisted of our galaxy. They're so brilliant they continue to prove themselves wrong, and with all their intelligence, which is pretty vast; don't get me wrong, they're still in the same boat as us "ordinary people" when it comes to understanding everything

  • what if all the matter in the universe is shrinking making the universe seem to be expanding?

  • @banesAngell what you said there 1 year ago is still just as stupid now

  • @sisikiller2 i still would like you to define 'ordinary people' ._.

  • @sisikiller2 Haha this is too true. They have no idea but they're so quick to judge for themselves. I highly doubt they even know the functions of their own bodies to start with.

  • i don't like this videos explanation of the supernova type 1a. after a relatively small star goes nova (not super nova) its remnant turns into this glowing white hot carbon "cinder" known as a white dwarf, once a white dwarf accumulates enough matter, 1.43 solar masses then it completely obliterates itself in a nuclear explosion thats consistently uniform

  • @GLaDOSrev2 so u still think Earth is the center of everything? O.o come on, if it wasn't a theory in the beginning, no one would've of known that sun was the center of our system and that scientist proved it. this is the reason why it's a "theory" and not a "law" and i bet they know more than u...ignorant fucking kid.
