The Mystery of the Missing Mass

A film about Dark Matter - Dr Tara Shears explains why scientists think that most of the mass in the universe is made up of something we can't see and how a new experiment called the Large Hadron Collider might finally tell us exactly what this "Dark Matter" is.

They're pretty sure that Dark Matter exists. So yes, they are "trying to find it", as you say.

I love this 'here's a problem' science, with questioins to follow up. And Tara Shears has a great way with words!

I think that every school on the Planet must show this to their students. Until humanity starts to be enlightened to learn this instead of Bible and creation stories nonsense, we have no hope. This is so much more fascinating to the young and fresh minds of children than the parting of the Red Sea or of Noah's daughters getting him drunk and sleeping with their father, or other such similar poison to the brains of the young !

two objects will appear to weigh more when they are close to each other much like when you put two magnets together. this could account for the missing mass.

Well, it has just been solved, by some 22year old chick working on her undergrad degree, . . . . how about 'em apples!

cienceDaily (May 24, 2011) — A Monash student has made a breakthrough in the field of astrophysics, discovering what has until now been described as the Universe's 'missing mass'. Amelia Fraser-McKelvie, working within a team at the Monash School of Physics, conducted a targeted X-ray search for the matter and within just three months found it -- or at least some of it.

@jordansamhuri Tell me, why is it more logical to believe that the universe created itself from nothing and that invisible matter that we have never detected a single particle of, is more logical, than the belief in God? Please enlighten us.

i dont when this collider will work

I think the best explanation to the "mystery" of Dark matter/Energy is given by Nassim Haramien. First of all, Einstein's field equations do NOT include rotation. If you adjust for rotational energy, you make up for the missing mass/energy of the universe! Check out his lecture here:

@Sciencefilms they dont find it nowhere near in space, maybe find it but not touch it, they will create it here on earth

[gaynorglowellxsingh]

I have a question. Their seems to be a lot of mass thats missing from our universe. We look for all of the possable ways that could explain it. Isin't radiation mass, it's accelerated protons, neutrons, electrons, photons and maby even down to the quantum level. Do we calculate this as mass in the missing mass theory. see my video about dark matter.

@LuisRamirez666 look antimatter is the - to our+ and darkmatter is nothing absolutly nothing but this "thing" holds everything together and since we cant see, touch, hear, feel or tasteit dosent exist right? wrong!, you can see darkmatter as nothing just blackness in space comprende?
