If we had spent the same amount of time and money trying to determine why our observations do not match our models of gravity

Erm...hello? Are you mental?

It's one thing if cranks start to whinge about how money goes to real research instead of their pet/crank theory. But when the cranks start to whinge about how money should go to some endeavour when it's actually going EXACTLY THERE then insanity has reached a new peak.

My gut instinct tells me they're not going to find anything, because dark matter isn't here, it's in another brane, and all we're seeing is the gravitational effect. Something like that seems to be a logical answer, even though I know a lot of people, including Susskind, think dark matter will just turn out to be an ordinary particle we've missed up until now. Feels more like a ghost to me, something in the inter-brane ether, if of course branes exist. Fun.

"Gut instinct" and "logical answer" are mutually exclusive concepts. The only real approach is to posit hypotheses that aren't in conflict with already observed facts and then test the as yet unobserved predictions these hypotheses make.

Dark matter is just as imaginary as Pixie dust or Unicorns.

"Dark matter" is a placeholder for "that which causes the things we observe". Nothing more, nothing less. It is a name given to a range of hypotheses that fulfill the above criterium. And what they are doing is trying to find out which of these work and which don't. With the current experiment they have already excluded a big swath of those that don't.

If you have a better theory that should be tested first then write a paper on it.

Really, can you articulate this rather better than an inane one line claim that "goes no-where" - maths & experimental evidence please ?

Yet it works for so many things from Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) to energies for accelerating particles in colliders to the colour of gold to the melting point of mercury etc

Or maybe you are being non-relativistically incoherent in that you havent (yet) come up with any alternative [relativity] maths/experiments to explain why GPS works so well by summing special & general relativity constantly to ensure high accuracy is maintained & used globally ?

dogbert with Huge oversimplification
.... no evidence for it and there never has been any evidence for it. It was simply imagined on the spot when we noted that our models failed to match our observations
Doing this again, coming at Physics topics without basic understanding of the key issues re "Balance of Probability"

From Newtons laws through to Gravitation & as asymptotically amended re Relativity there is a very consistent base upon which to make inferences as these mathematical models do function very well at local scales, it is only when you get to astronomical scales there's anomaly

Fact that confidence at local scales is so very high ie The immense consistency of maths in relation to experimental evidence infers clearly there is likely "some" mass (like) at astronomical scales not (yet) visible

Comparative effort logically is to examine closely whilst (Gravitation) deniers continue but, fail to prove *any* errors !

What dogbert *should* be done then ?
Susskind, think dark matter will just turn out to be an ordinary particle we've missed up until now.

Watch the ordinary particles turn out to be H2 & He, condensed into gravitationally-bound giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in their dark 'normal state' with their acquired luminous stellar metallicity 'snowed out' into the solid state of icy chondrules.

Then GMCs in their opaque 'excited state' on shallow orbits to the disk plane have had their stellar metallicity sublimed by giant stars, raising the avg. molecular weight, lowering the 'sound crossing time', promoting Jeans instability.

So DM that converts to stars and luminous gas predicts no 'cuspy halo problem', whereas WIMP models require ad hoc secondary mechanisms or fine tuning to explain the relative absence of DM in galactic bulges and its complete absence in globular clusters.

dogbert incorrectly with immense oversimplification claims
You don't spend millions of dollars building detectors to find place holders
Yes you do, the process continues also be exclusion, this is how Science works. Try try to understand key economics, money flows around global economy, enables increased tech overall not just in any one field as many branches of engineering need to converge, people also pay taxes & buy etc. See studies confirm high leverage of (basic) Science research re outcomes

One of many examples is Internet you rely on to make inarticulate claims !

dogbert said
They are actually looking for dark matter
As well, remember if you can the "Sherlock Holmes method" re inference & deduction, my thought is type of 'saturation' effect which disturbs the gravitational noise variance re photon interaction but, thats a mere guess so far...

dogbert ugh
.."it is a place holder" claim is simply not true
No.

Learn Physics - Please !

You don't spend millions of dollars building detectors to find place holders. They are actually looking for dark matter.

A more accurate statement would be "they are looking for answers". And finding out that something doesn't work is just as much a worthwhile answer.

I feel like if this were 100 years ago and they were searching for neutrons, you'd see exactly this argument. Read this article and you can feel the "mysteriousness" all over again:

https://en.wikipe..._neutron

You don't spend millions of dollars building detectors to find place holders.

You send million sof dollars buliding detectors to test hypotheses. Which is exactly what they are doing. Without experiments our understanding of how the universe works would degenerate into "I think that..."...which is all the cranks every produce, and which is completely useless.

You have a very 'Hollywood ' view of what science is. You need to start learning what science actually is.
Science probes the unknown. Science is NOT engineering.
It is the nature of such probing that sometimes - if not most of the time - experiments fail. However, this does not mean that failed experiments are useless. Experiments that don't turn up anything can still be used to constrain where to look the next time (again: this is exactly what they did, here).

Dark matter fills the space unoccupied by particles of matter and is displaced by the particles of matter which exist in it and move through it.

The Milky Way's halo is lopsided due to the matter in the Milky Way moving through and displacing the dark matter, analogous to a submarine moving through and displacing the water.

http://aetherdisplacement.com

"And so the search continues,"

To say the least...
Planning for the next-generation dark matter experiment at Sanford Lab is already under way.

At least they admit to failure and the need for endless funding to accomplish their goals.

For over 70 years, people have been looking for dark matter. If even a tenth of that time and money had been used to try to understand the anomalies we observe,

*sigh*...again: Not a tenth of the money is used to understand the anomalies observed. ALL the money is used to try and understand the anomalies observed. They are doing exactly what you are crying about: trying to find a solution.

is not scientific to use a kludge when a model fails

It's scientific to try and test those hypotheses first that:
- make easily testable predictions
- mesh with all current observations (no use switching to a model that is worse that the current crop in everything else just because it's better in one area)
- (bonus: integrate well with current models)

So, as you have been asked before: what is your theory that should have been tested instead of what they are testing for? Just saying "do something else" is just stupid drivel.

So, nothing...

Did you even read the article? It says right there:
"So far LUX hasn't detected a dark matter signal, but its exquisite sensitivity has allowed scientists to all but rule out vast mass ranges where dark matter particles might exist."

Do you have any idea how valuable it is to be able to exclude entire ranges of energies/models in science?

Meh, they haven't found anything though. Once they find it, it won't be named dark matter anymore.

So, as you have been asked before: what is your theory that should have been tested instead of what they are testing for? Just saying "do something else" is just stupid drivel.

Yes, please enlighten us.

But seriously, what they are doing really is the most logical thing. If it doesn't look that way... well, to be blunt, it means you don't understand the subject as well as you think you do.

The notion of dark matter as weakly interacting with matter is incorrect. Dark matter fills 'empty' space and is displaced by the particles of matter which exist in it and move through it.

There is evidence of dark matter every time a double slit eperiment is performed; it's what waves.

Speaking as someone with a physics degree, I am dismayed at the sheer number of cranks and ignorami in this comments section. As has been noted by someone who knows what they're talking about, the chief achievement to date has been the elimination of vast swathes of the mass-energy spectrum. In language the resident nutjobs will understand, it means that we don't have to expend future effort looking there. Get it?

I'd like to remind everyone too that excluding mass regions is not evidence that a thing doesn't exist. In the year or so prior to the Higgs finding, there were several articles analyzing previous experiments that had created mass exclusions. People (journalists and readers) then *also* misinterpreted that as evidence that the Higgs might not exist. Not too long afterward, we found the particle in the window that hadn't been excluded. One could imagine a very similar case here too.

No, no. You're all wrong. The problem is that gravity itself doesn't exist. Same as dark matter. I know, because I've never seen either of them. And about those atom things...

Which reminds me that a really perceptive guy whose name I can't remember noted that "The world is made not of atoms but of stories." Of course the STEM people don't call their things "stories"; they prefer "models." And, uh... well...

@Andrew
Welcome to physorg. And don't worry, the disappointment will only increase with time. Although, that said there are a few smart guys here.

If you spend over 30 years and hundreds of millions of dollars looking for a weakly interacting dark matter maybe you should consider dark matter to interact with matter?

Matter moves through and displaces the dark matter.

There is evidence of dark matter every time a double slit experiment is performed; it's what waves.

The Milky Way's halo is lopsided due to the matter in the Milky Way moving through and displacing the dark matter, analogous to a submarine moving through and displacing the water.

"That can't be", you say. Why not? "Because dark matter weakly interacts with matter", you say. What evidence do you have that dark matter weakly interacts with matter? "Well, we've spent the last 3 decades and hundreds of millions of dollars looking for a weakly interacting dark matter and haven't found it yet, but we're still positive that it is weakly interacting", you say.

If you realized dark matter interacts with matter then you would realize we already have evidence of it as it is what waves in terms of wave-particle duality. You also get to understand the particle is always detected traveling through a single slit because it always travels through a single slit. It is the wave in the dark matter that passes through both.

"That can't be", you say. Why not? "Because it makes sense", you say.

My gut instinct tells me they're not going to find anything, because dark matter isn't here, it's in another brane, and all we're seeing is the gravitational effect... Feels more like a ghost to me, something in the inter-brane ether, if of course branes exist. Fun.


Nice theory, but there is a simpler explanation. All these experiments are being conducted on Earth, deep in the solar wind. If atoms do interact with matter, even at the low levels these experiments are looking for, then momentum transfer from the solar wind should blow dark matter away from the sun. Put LUX several hundred AU out, and it might chirp happily away. Of course, for shielding, you would probably have to put in inside a TNO. Actually it would be better to look for dark matter interactions with the solar wind directly. If we are living in a dark matter free bubble, there should be a diffuse microwave signal at specific wavelengths. Or maybe a new Maunder-like minimum will let some DM in.

I'm a writer, not a physicist, and yet I find this inquiry to be fascinating. Dark matter/energy has a beautiful paradox and deep mystery embedded: How can something so hard to find impact the entire universe via gravity? The mystery obviously stimulates imagination, similar to how electricity did this for a very long time. I suppose the difference has to do with applications. Electricity is useful; dark materials, not so much -- except for Philip Pullman.

Predictable results from world's most sensitive science deniers.

You can see a subtle pattern in the flow of their rhymes.

It's hard to find because they are looking for the wrong stuff.

Dark matter fills the space unoccupied by particles of matter and is displaced by the particles of matter which exist in it and move through it.

A particle has an associated wave in the dark matter, analogous to the bow wave of a boat.

In a double slit experiment the particle always travels through a single slit and the associated wave in the dark matter passes through both.

Yes, the knowledge that after 30 years and hunderds of millions of dollars looking for a weakly interacting dark matter that they might be able to consider the possibility that dark matter interacts with matter.

A moving particle has an associated wave in the dark matter, analogous to the bow wave of a boat.

Q. Why is the particle always detected traveling through a single slit in a double slit experiment?
A. The particle always travels through a single slit. It is the associated wave in the dark matter that passes through both.

How about the knowledge of it is the dark matter that waves in terms of wave-particle duality?

Or, how many millions more are we going to spend in order to remain ignorant?

Yes, the knowledge that after 30 years and hunderds of millions of dollars

You immediately, out of the gate, without nary a nanosecond of numinous knowledge, repeat my point exactly.

Like I just said "howler says 'what'" and you screamed "WHAAAAAAT" and didn't understand how that was relevant to what I said before that. I would not think you were human during a Turing test.

The science deniers are those who are incapable of understanding dark matter interacts with matter and is what waves in a double slit experiment.

The science deniers deny the use of the scientific method to attain knowledge. You seem to be squarely in this camp.

In a double slit experiment the particle is always detected traveling through a single slit. This is evidence the particle always travels through a single slit. It is the associated wave in the dark matter that passes through both.

It is amazing how much money and effort have gone into the search for what is essentially an imaginary particle.


Much less than it costs to teach morons how to read and write!.

dogbert is just being skeptical and that has tremendous value to science. After all if left to our senses we dogmatize like infallible popes! Einstein didn't trust his observations and it caused him to miss one of the greatest predictions of science (cosmo constant/expansion). There is great value to these experiments but dogbert is correct that the methodology is backwards because we are all so desperate to detect dark matter (getting a higher speed camera will still let you rule out a slow Santa Claus, but you have to be prepared to draw the line somewhere). What we all need to come to terms with is the days of understanding the universe by first principles are nearly done. Are we willing to accept an answer that is simple, elegant, and wrong?

dogbert is just being skeptical and that has tremendous value to science

Make no mistake, you are the crackpot here, not CS.

My limited comprehension of physics in full view here: I've always been under the understanding that Gravity forms around objects that have mass. Is it possible that Gravity preexists those objects? One theory I heard was that the reason for gravity's weakness is because it might actually exist in another dimension and we only feel its minimal effects, but maybe in some cases it actually "leaks" into our universe.
The only other explanation I've heard that makes sense, is that dark matter is the cumulative affect of virtual particles popping into and out of existence and creating a gravitational affect in that brief moment. However, if you have "a lot" of these over a large volume, it would be observable over vast distances.

My limited comprehension of physics in full view here: I've always been under the understanding that Gravity forms around objects that have mass. ...


Dark matter fills the space unoccupied by particles of matter. Particles of matter move through and displace the dark matter.

Displaced dark matter pushes back and exerts pressure toward the matter.

Displaced dark matter pushing back and exerting pressure toward the matter *is* gravity.

Is it possible that Gravity preexists those objects?

If this is the case, we'd be looking at warps in spacetime with no discernible cause, which you mention with other dimensions. The LHC has done tests in the past looking for these, but they admitted at the time it was looking outside the predicted range when no evidence was found, and there is talk of revisiting those tests now that the LHC is powerful enough to do them better, so who knows? The fun part is that it's testable, so exciting.
I don't know about the virtual particle explanation of dark matter, it seems that wouldn't explain the lensing and filament structure of the universe, at least it seems that way off the cuff.
Check this site out for particle physics, anything frisky the LHC does always ends up there.

So, if 80% of the Universe is missing, how does your explanation contend for no known missing gravity inside our solar system?

Think about it, in 1916, Einstein published the exact angle of gravitational lensing as starlight passes the immediate peripheral disk of the Sun, he did not include in his calculations a "missing mass" component for gravity that he had already calculated did not exist.

All these same GR calculations are used to this day to calculate gravitational lensing throughout the Universe, they have never been modified no matter what the distance of the observed gravitational lensing from Earth.

So, if 80% of the Universe is missing

What is missing? If you put a two ton anvil in a cardboard box and put the box on a scale that declared "2 tons!" would you then look at the box and say "two tons of this cardboard box is missing." Of course not, you know it's two tons in the box, you just don't know what the two tons looks like. By the size of the box, though, you know it isn't two tons of popcorn, or two tons of feathers, but that it doesn't have to be, though it could be, two tons of neutronium. This is basic figuring stuff out 101. Crows do it when they make hooks to snare things in holes.

I'm glad you're finally coming around to stating out loud why when we look at the universe and fail to see enough sparkly shiny matter to account for Einstein, we have no choice, because as you said, Einstein nailed it, than to consider there is more matter which the effects of are seen, but are undetectable otherwise. Dark matter.

You, yourself, just argued for the existence of dark matter using Einstein.

I feel so happy for you.

The relativistic mass of the Earth is the mass of the Earth and the mass of the dark matter connected to and neighboring the Earth which is displaced by the Earth.

Now hold on here, you need to do a better study of Zwicky's hypothesis for DM. He was clear that DM was an "envelope" enshrouding only Spiral Galaxies which make up only 1/3 of the Universe. The DM godfather is in direct contradiction for the reasoning used to place this Large Underground Xenon (LUX) dark matter experiment anywhere on or under planet Earth.

Do a better study of the section of GR in which Einstein did the calculations for gravitational lensing, then study what Zwicky wrote, then you will better comprehend why Zwicky at least had the common sense not to place one scintilla of DM inside Spiral Galaxies, he knew he had a Mass/Gravity conflict.

Now hold on here...

...I am dismayed at the sheer number of cranks and ignorami in this comments section.


The original site was bought out by Russian pimps that moved it offshore and stopped filing Companies House forms. That's to hide the fact that they're generating revenue by taking payments from various conservative organizations to never delete the cranks. From reproductive rights to climate change, they can get a lot of support from that demographic and people can't trace the money like they could if it were going directly to the trolls.

Those idiots have obsessions with unseen solar system objects, electricity, dark matter and energy and relativity theory. Bottom line is the bottom line and that means that ANY mention of dark matter or the other aforementioned triggers will see the "no delete" policy attracting every nut case in the galactic neighborhood. Any doubts, compare with the forums, well moderated.

So tell us, what's any of this got to do with why Zwicky placed his Cosmic Fairy Dust in an envelope far beyond the radial arms of Spiral galaxies?


He is referring to the state of displacement of the dark matter.

@indio007
Eg...
Please watch your youtube video re "Hatch" & his interpretation esp first 5 mins, he stated the specific case re clocks at Earth's pole & equator in respect of speed (SR) vs gravitational field (GR) effects EXACTLY matching, they don't !

He is wrong as he failed to state altitude at equator as there can be ~ 5Km variance & he fails to quantify resolution of the (older atomic) clocks used. They match closely "enough" but, they are not "exact" as modern clocks show (to 1ft height difference) in relation to equatorial altitude !

From that perspective alone, Hatch is not being precise at all claiming exact match, he implies a type of fudge like conspiracy to somehow make them match as if its a hand wave to push relativity...

Hatch may have engineering skills but, hasnt delved into Physics details & thus comes across with a vagueness at many levels with familiar superficial profile approach to Physics, which is often not given the depth it deserves

That's to hide the fact that they're generating revenue by taking payments from various conservative organizations

Ok.. so what they are sayin' is -
mass has variable densities...
What they call "dark matter" is actually matter with density less than what we would normally expect.
Not that it isn't there, just that it isn't in the form we expect to see it... And therefore have not been looking for it...

hmm...

Ugly propaganda ie *only* emotive base, if you listened properly you notice a mere shallow claim to a claim, worded *only* to influence !

Starts with claim re E's "theory" re action at distance but, he never articulated a theory ie. mere perception but, this is seized upon when claiming he was wrong implying relativity is therefore wrong, ie propaganda & goes on to ascribe the notion of belief - another facet of propaganda method to manipulate emotion ie Wrong belief, then @T 1:10 claim of no scientific breakthroughs ie Attempted (false) contextual connection with E, then very blatant propaganda @T 1:22 raising doubt re E being wrong, emotively claiming "..wasted a century..", ie Another fallacy

Then the very WORST Outright Lie (a stupid ugly attempt) claims @T 1:26 "..because it discredited E's relativity theory AGAIN", No never even once !

ie False, Lie & Ugly Propaganda !

Since modern science is based on the assumption "priori" of Big Bang we need dark matter "unicorns" to be real, if we look back into the past to see how and why we got here and then took our current data we might realize black hole space magic is not necessary.

Matter moves through and displaces the dark matter.
Not sure if matter displaces anything - maybe spacetime. Anyway spacetime in the presence of matter doesn't produce dark energy, or vacuum pressure, if you prefer. So spacetime outside of regions of matter produces more vacuum pressure than inside bodies of matter. This gradient in pressure is what I interpret as entropic gravity. Fits in with GR which I understand takes into account the vacuum pressure.

"Dark matter" is a placeholder for "that which causes the things we observe". Nothing more, nothing less. It is a name given to a range of hypotheses that fulfill the above criterium. And what they are doing is trying to find out which of these work and which don't. With the current experiment they have already excluded a big swath of those that don't.

If you have a better theory that should be tested first then write a paper on it.
Yes, what we are observing is entropic gravity arising from natural variations in the vacuum pressure - probably due to BB turbulence. Not really in the business of writing papers, only posting to my Astrophysics Ideas and Opinions website on facebook.

Fits in with GR which I understand takes into account the vacuum pressure.


What is referred to geometrically as the curvature of spacetime physically exists in nature as the state of displacement of the dark matter.

The dark matter pushing back and exerting pressure toward the matter *is* the vacuum pressure.

The dark matter pushing back and exerting pressure toward the matter *is* gravity.

How do you get matter out of pressure? Maybe the dark energy? Mattter is what gets squeezed. If you want to call that pushing back, well I guess, but pressure is what does the original pushing.

The supersolid displaces the bowling ball as it fills-in where the bowling ball had been. By definition, there is no loss of energy in the interaction between the bowling ball and the supersolid and the bowling ball rolls on forever through the supersolid.

Q. Is the bowling ball displacing the supersolid or is the supersolid displacing the bowling ball?
A. Both are occurring simultaneously with equal force.

http://arxiv.org/abs/1208.3458

"We hypothesize that space itself resists such surges according to a kind of induction law (related to inertia); additionally, we provide further evidence of the "fluidic" nature of space itself. This "back-reaction" is quantified by the tendency of angular momentum flux threading across a surface."

The "back-reaction" is the displaced dark matter displacing back.

You state these papers demonstrate the following:
The "ideal fluid" is the dark matter.

Paper one defines its purpose as thus :
The purpose of the present work is to trace parallels between the known inertia
forces in fluid dynamics with the inertia forces in electromagnetism that are known to induce resistance forces on masses both due to acceleration and at constant velocity.

Paper 2 :
Newton's second law has limited scope of application when transient phenomena are present. We
consider a modification of Newton's second law in order to take into account a sudden change (surge) of angular momentum or linear momentum.

The paper on transient phenomena has a tiny section wherein they propose their modified Second Law of Motion might smooth over the discrepancy in observed matter. Neither give any details of any experiment for any claim made by the authors. You don't know what "demonstrate" means and I wasted a lot of time just now.

Then you get to understand what relates general relativity and quantum mechanics.

What ripples when galaxy clusters collide is what waves in a double slit experiment, the dark matter.

Einstein's gravitational wave is de Broglie's wave of wave-particle duality, both are waves in the dark matter.

"Particles of matter move through and displace the dark matter. A moving particle has an associated wave in the dark matter. In a double slit experiment the particle travels through a single slit and the associated wave in the dark matter passes through both."

Particles move in structure of vacuum of space with resistance like in fluid. This structure is transport physical environment for electromagnetic waves and define locally or globally the behavior of elementary particles and its interactions with electromagnetic waves. Can be reprogrammed by the will of the Creator.
This is the reason why officially adopted theories for gravity by consensus do no work in the cosmic space. Their extrapolations and predictions diverge strongly with the observed reality.

@Mike_Massen

When GR formulas distort the space, where is taken into account the physical properties of the vacuum of space which fills the 3D geometric space?

This is what happens when you start raising kids without physical discipline. They learn that they can just lie and twist language to anything they want, seem to comply, get to the next step, because when you're found out there won't be any consequences.

Even filth like you they do not wipe off.

@liquidspacetime

The structure of vacuum of space is not material. It is mediator between the will of the Creator and the constituent particles of matter.

There is now need for additional invisible mass in the universe because the behavior of elementary particles differs in different zones in the universe in accordance to their programming. There is local and global physical laws in the universe. From local physical laws we can not determine the global physical laws. Тhe universe is unknowable to us from the Earth.

'Empty' space has mass and is displaced by the particles of matter which exist in it and move through it and is what waves in a double slit experiment.

@indio007

Watched the video. The only thing missing is, "Those goddamn jews!", and "Heil Hitler".


Godwin's law . You lose.

I think it's seriously sick that people like to subliminally attempt to smear relativity opponents with holocaust denial.

You going to make it illegal to speak against relativity too?

You true believers need to get this on fact straight. Dark matter theory exists because relativity does not match observation. PERIOD.

Dark matter, dark matter, dark matter, everywhere, and not a particle to be found within the solar system.

It has dawned on me that NONE of the proponents of the DM narrative on this forum have ever read one word of what Zwicky wrote about his hypothesis, that DM would only be found in a envelope enshrouding Spiral galaxies.

Challenging: Axemaster, Anti_Phy, MM, 2cts, Stumpo, Liquidsp, Docile, etc, to read what Zwicky actually wrote about DM is a challenge only deserving of drawing a 1Star downvote. Right Axo? Voting Brigades, vote up: How many of you have actually read what Zwicky wrote?

Those of you about to click the 1 Star on this challenge are those admitting you have never actually read what Zwicky wrote. Those of you who do not cast a vote are the ones leaving their options open because they think there may be favorable odds that Einstein did not miscalculate gravitational lensing in GR which precludes the existence of DM inside our solar system. Happy voting.

You true believers need to get this on fact straight. Dark matter theory exists because relativity does not match observation. PERIOD.
So do you use GPS? How's it working?

'Empty' space has mass and is displaced by the particles of matter which exist in it and move through it and is what waves in a double slit experiment.
What waves is the mass of empty space and the particles of matter which exist in it. You can't have one without the other, it appears. It's like a teeter-tooter. One goes up, the other comes down, unless the bell rings and they both jump off and go back to class.

Sometimes I cannot figure out why I still come around this site....

I have those days. After reading about how comments sections like these harm science literacy, and how this site seems to singularly turn howling into cash, I felt it was just wrong to use it, but it still doesn't address the problem of it. So, I figure if I stick to it I can maybe at least understand it. After you throw yourself into (up in) the ring for a while, it all turns to noise. Everyone says the same thing. One side is always induction deduction prediction scientific method and the other is always political fear/hate, money fear/hate, religious fear/hate. When it all turns to noise, you start to see patterns. I now think of this place as the most septic laboratory on earth, and so I can't stay away. It's interesting and important to know why the howler howls and the rational cannot put a dent in stupid.

Also, the sane people post some danged good links, so look for those.

After reading about how comments sections like these harm science literacy


Well, ST, there is a real simple answer, stop reading what others say about what Zwicky wrote, just look it up & read it for yourself, do that & you won't need to chase those links.

The next thing you do from here is go directly to a site for the paper(s) Zwicky wrote, and compare that with all the rhetoric above. Do that & you'll have all your answers. Upon doing this, you'll wonder why would anybody ever want to bury an electronic capsule underground on planet Earth looking for DM. Not too simple for you I trust.

Well, ST, there is a real simple answer, stop reading what others say about what Zwicky wrote, just look it up & read it for yourself, do that & you won't need to chase those links.

I read everything for myself, it's called critical thinking. Your argument for it is just as useless as anyone's against it. It's not like Zwicky is a mystery that only you know about. Like so many howlers you use someone else's name and hard work to discredit the field they loved to prove a claim they never set out to prove. If you actually cared about Zwicky or his work, you'd also know about Walter Baade and how he contributed to it, but you don't. You use science as a weapon of animal noises to try and discredit science, only discrediting yourself. You may as well not read these words, you wont parse them as anything but BARK BARK BARK.

How about you become a critical thinker and stop making humanity worse?

I'll hold my breath, you count...

Benni, its when you write ".., that DM would only be found in a envelope enshrouding Spiral galaxies..." that we are likely to dismiss idle complaints as you have NIL comparative critical analysis !

ie. No link, no analysis only complaint, why should you be treated seriously & especially so as the implication in your statement ".., that DM would only be found in a envelope enshrouding Spiral galaxies" is it doesn't partake of even a minimum of proven gravitational attraction - ie that there is a huge exception that its not drawn into regions of higher gravitational field etc

@CaptainStumpy
I think it's a lot to do with rhetoric. That other branch of human thoughtwork. I wish rhetoric was less in the hands of the philosophers and more of interest to neuroscience. How it emerges in humans is incredible. As far as I know, there is no other animal that can make noises at a member of its own species which overrides their nervous system's capacity to parse accurate reality up to and beyond the point of their demise due to the delusional state. We almost seem telepathic in our ability to hijack one anothers' imaginations to our own ends. If you model humans as a vocal herd, rhetoric is primed for the insulated herd members to keep others at the more dangerous perimeter. The emotional and authoritarian component never has to reach the cognitive faculty. The message part is a distraction to get to the emotions. Rhetoric doesn't change anyone's mind by design, it makes them directly behave along the will of another, even against their own.

Sounds to me like talk radio.

(cont)
It seems that critical thinking and rhetoric insulate the thinker from the other discipline near perfectly. Rhetoric can't get two steps past a critical thinker, yet anti-critical thinking rhetoric can be implanted in a person, if caught before they become critical thinkers, making them unreachable by all critical thinking means. If Bertrand Russel were alive, I'd write up a crazy conjecture about semiotic cognitive speciation and make him get a restraining order against me about it. The rhetorically lead who aren't opposed to critical thinking, myself an example, can stumble upon it accidentally and change their lives, myself an example. I do not like that my being a howler was left up to natural selection, however, and I suspect there may be a systemic failure to deprogram the potentially-intellectual by mistaking them for full on inoculated against reason howlers. The inquiry needs a higher resolution.

Sounds to me like talk radio.

They use a lot of the same word choices. Some of the anti-intellectuals here are also very jingoistic, racist, and pro-violence. They use "arguments" (emotional declarations without basis) found on the very fringes of talk radio and various radicalized isolationist websites.

If you're on the review board for Hilites For Kids, I'll slip a ten in the envelope, the howlers tell me this always works with science and it's important to me I get published before they do. Speaking of which...

Hey, phys.org, get off your butts, scienceamerican is kicking your rear reporting the new standard model defying particle the LHC just stumbled upon.

I'll write it for you.
Physics works because it's predictable. If you related the Large Hadron Collider to a demolition derby, you could say that when you collide two Porsche 911's together at near the speed of light, they explode into four Volkswagon rabbits and sixteen strong cups of coffee on a mathematically predictable basis. Today, the LHC collided two Posche's together and along with the Volkswagons and coffee, out popped a catdog. The catdog was not predicted by the demolition model of physics and has thrown everyone into a very excited, but cautious, frenzy. If catdog turns out to be a component of demolition derby, car crash metaphors as we know them in relation to science is over.

That will be $200 phys.org.

Can you prove your claims please, that would be refreshing as there are lots of people who litter these forums making claims relativity doesn't work or gravitational equations are wrong or eventhe dumbest of all that radiative transfer is false or even the stupidest that GPS corrections are faked which implies a world wide conspiracy which must inlcude all the GPS manufacturer's and all the several thousand scientists and students worldwide who routinely learn Physics and TEST relativity each and every chance they can get ?

NON-LINEAR WAVE MECHANICS A CAUSAL INTERPRETATION by LOUIS DE BROGLIE

"Since 1954, when this passage was written, I have come to support wholeheartedly an hypothesis proposed by Bohm and Vigier. According to this hypothesis, the random perturbations to which the particle would be constantly subjected, and which would have the probability of presence in terms of [the wave-function wave], arise from the interaction of the particle with a "subquantic medium" which escapes our observation and is entirely chaotic, and which is everywhere present in what we call "empty space"."

The "subquantic medium" is the dark matter.

'Fluid mechanics suggests alternative to quantum orthodoxy'
http://newsoffice...ics-0912

"The fluidic pilot-wave system is also chaotic. It's impossible to measure a bouncing droplet's position accurately enough to predict its trajectory very far into the future. But in a recent series of papers, Bush, MIT professor of applied mathematics Ruben Rosales, and graduate students Anand Oza and Dan Harris applied their pilot-wave theory to show how chaotic pilot-wave dynamics leads to the quantumlike statistics observed in their experiments."

A "fluidic pilot-wave system" is the dark matter.

'When Fluid Dynamics Mimic Quantum Mechanics'
http://www.scienc...1934.htm

"If you have a system that is deterministic and is what we call in the business 'chaotic,' or sensitive to initial conditions, sensitive to perturbations, then it can behave probabilistically," Milewski continues. "Experiments like this weren't available to the giants of quantum mechanics. They also didn't know anything about chaos. Suppose these guys — who were puzzled by why the world behaves in this strange probabilistic way — actually had access to experiments like this and had the knowledge of chaos, would they have come up with an equivalent, deterministic theory of quantum mechanics, which is not the current one? That's what I find exciting from the quantum perspective."

What waves in a double slit experiment is the dark matter.

In response to my most recent query on this thread to liquidspacetime he claimed in 3 subsequent posts & here is the first
The "subquantic medium" is the dark matter.
Really - how ?
What is the definition of "subquantic" & how does it relate to the planck length please ?

Where is the maths re (incremental) addition to the locally confirmed Force Fg=Gm1m2/r^2 ?

Do you even know know GPS clocks are set? What inertial reference frame are the clocks set to?
Your talking crap about relativity. There are no known solutions for 2 or more bodies.the Relativity is non linear. One body can not simply be added to another body.
Everything has to be "normalized". After the normalization there is fudging... i mean "data-fitting".

What waves in a double slit experiment is the dark matter.
So the particle itself only goes through one slit. The interference fringes are then caused by the dark matter? Just checking.


4 Nil experiment :-(


There is evidence of the chaotic nature of the dark matter every time a double slit experiment is performed. It's what waves and leads to the probabilistic results of experiments.

Wave-particle duality is a moving particle and its associated wave in the dark matter.

The Milky Way's halo is lopsided due to the matter in the Milky Way moving through and displacing the dark matter, analogous to a submarine moving through and displacing the water.

So the particle itself only goes through one slit. The interference fringes are then caused by the dark matter? Just checking.


The interference fringes are caused by the particle. The particle is guided by the associated wave.

A boat has a bow wave.
The surfer rides the ocean wave.

The particle is both boat and surfer simultaneously.

I recommend you watch all of the following video. The part having to do with the double slit experiment is at the 2:42 mark.

The chaotic nature of the dark matter causes the probabilistic results associated with a double slit experiment.

The particle travels a well defined path through a single slit. We can't know which slit that is unless we detect the particle.

You true believers need to get this on fact straight. Dark matter theory exists because relativity does not match observation. PERIOD.

You are entirely wrong. DM theory exists because _none_ of the gravitation theories match the observations. It not a fix for GRT but a fix for gravity in general.

Dark matter is displaced by matter.

The state of displacement of the dark matter *is* gravity.

Or, you could correctly understand what occurs physically in nature.

What ripples when galaxy clusters collide is what waves in a double slit experiment, the dark matter.

Einstein's gravitational wave is de Broglie's wave of wave-particle duality, both are waves in the dark matter.

Dark matter displaced by matter relates general relativity and quantum mechanics.

If only they were universal. Then the chosen examples of where the effects MAY apply would be valid as it wouldn't matter which effects that support GRT were chosen. However to say "Gravity curves space and light must follow the path, hence why we see gravitational lensing" would be backed up by the curved path of light we observe in EVERY SINGLE GRAVITY WELL. But we don't....do we?

So using the effect of gravitational lensing as support for GRT when light does not curve in every gravity well boils down to selecting one bullshit interpretation that fits the bill, and ignoring all the examples where it must apply as well, but doesn't.

Why do you think there are 5 candidates for a "particle" that produces only one effect. Because not one fit every circumstance...

Each gravity well is "unique" in it's specific characteristics. More specifically - it's density and "charge", to name just two...

The particle travels a well defined path through a single slit. We can't know which slit that is unless we detect the particle.
Really? Per https://en.wikipe...periment a wave is split into two separate waves that later combine into a single wave. Check it out.

GPS proves that the effects predicted by GRT are real.
Got a problem with that ?


If only they were universal. [more irrelevant stuff dropped ]

GRT predicts certain effects to occur in the GPS system.
These effects indeed occur in the GPS system.
This confirms that the predicted effects are real.
To have a point you need an example where GRT makes a _wrong_ prediction.
Do you have any? I don't.

bschott says
However to say "Gravity curves space and light must follow the path, hence why we see gravitational lensing" would be backed up by the curved path of light we observe in EVERY SINGLE GRAVITY WELL. But we don't....do we?
You Need to appreciate measurements in Physics applying to design of instruments, ie engineering of sensors/data acquisition issues; resolution, accuracy, noise floor, error.

bschott apply your complaint re analogy to Eg water to illustrate the point

Eg gravity makes water curve, then some complainer says,
"Gravity curves the sea & ships fall as move towards horizon, would be backed by the curve of sea we observe in EVERY SINGLE BODY OF WATER. But we don't... do we?"

Essential education to understand *measurement* ie Find uni tutorial covering methodology detail to calculate amount of light deflection per gravitational field strength re distance AND relate to the instrumentation required to observe *any* differential

The wave in the dark matter passes through both slits. When it exits both slits it creates wave interference which alters the direction the particle travels.


Just an aside - there is no "wave" until you have a "particle" (in motion) - it's empty space...


'Empty' space has mass which is displaced by the particle moving through it. It's the particle moving through and displacing the dark matter which creates the wave in the dark matter.


Wouldn't this indicate the presence of a "field" associated with the presence of a particle?


The "field" consists of dark matter. The wave of wave-particle duality is a wave in the dark matter.

The chaotic nature of the dark matter causes the probabilistic results associated with a double slit experiment.
What probabilistic results?

'Empty' space has mass which is displaced by the particle moving through it.
Yep.
It's the particle moving through and displacing the dark matter which creates the wave in the dark matter.
So dark matter is the mass contained by empty space. Of course. I should have known.

So dark matter is the mass contained by empty space. Of course.
Finding the dark matter in empty space is going to be pretty tricky it would seem. Especially if it is in particulate form. But you never know about the fairy godmother.

Finding the dark matter in empty space is going to be pretty tricky it would seem. Especially if it is in particulate form. But you never know about the fairy godmother.
More likely the fairy godmother is found in the form of energy. Mass-energy equivalence, you know. Doesn't seem like a particle detector would be the way to go to find the fairy godmother in the form of energy.

GRT predicts certain effects to occur in the GPS system.
These effects indeed occur in the GPS system.
This confirms that the predicted effects are real.
To have a point you need an example where GRT makes a _wrong_ prediction.
Do you have any? I don't.

GR doesn't predict the behavior of the the galaxy hence dark matter.
No theory of gravity does.

more? Ok
Tunneling time

Show me the measurements that are in conflict with GRT.
non-local Entanglement.

No theory explains both gravity and QM.
superluminal gravity
superluminal charge conservation

No idea what these are.

Finding the dark matter in empty space is going to be pretty tricky it would seem. Especially if it is in particulate form. But you never know about the fairy godmother.
More likely the fairy godmother is found in the form of energy. Mass-energy equivalence, you know. Doesn't seem like a particle detector would be the way to go to find the fairy godmother in the form of energy.

You can't educate lst to make sense. Ignore.

@indio007

Watched the video. The only thing missing is, "Those goddamn jews!", and "Heil Hitler".


Can you give a timing where this is missing?
I sure am not going to spend 1:07 to listen to pseudoscience.

What I fail to see is how anyone can believe that an amount equivalent to one asteroid of dark matter spread out evenly across the solar system can be responsible for the double slit experiment and therefore for QM as a whole. We're talking about a half proton mass per cm3, only interacting through gravity!
By how many orders of magnitude is such a density of DM inadequate to influence atoms and solids? By an absolutely mind boggling number of order of magnitudes.
How wrong can a crank be? There is no limit, the universe is too small.


No idea what these are.

You're showing yourself up to suffer emotional hypnotic attachment to idea relativity is false without benefit of high school Physics, you refuse to ascribe rational basis to evidence which proves overwhelmingly it functions very well; GPS, hafele-keating, LHC & WHY did you totally ignore NIST, their clocks show variance of as little as 33cm in altitude ?

Ok, you are talking crap.

What probabilistic results?


The probabilistic results of a double slit experiment which is caused by the chaotic nature of the dark matter.

The "field" consists of dark matter. The wave of wave-particle duality is a wave in the dark matter.
Watch the sparks fly as the fairy godmother waves her magic wand.

And as seeker remarked, you can not rest a case before making it.

Does this mean each time you run the experiment you get a different set of interference fringes?

The fringes will build up differently every time. However, how they build up can be determined probabilistically. The following image shows the electrons building up to form the interference pattern. It won't build up exactly the same way every time. However, probabilistically most of the electrons will wind up in the middle every time.

No theory of gravity does.

There are different proposals, each still considered viable. That is not the same thing as disagreeing at all.
They disagree right?

Nope.

Could you explain this ?

And you are blind if you think that is not what you are doing.

Fortunately, they know what they are doing.

I'll tell you who is a crank. A crank subscribes to a non-viable hypothesis against all evidence. Then he gets crankier and tells those who disprove him that they are the cranks. He ends like lpt, repeating the same obsessive empty sentences for the rest of his existence. Sad, Dickens even. I am only posting here to save you from this fate. Because it is Christmas time.
But if your idea is viable I am interested of course.

Probabilistically and every time in the same sentence?

Light cannot ONLY curve in "large gravity wells"...it must curve in EVERY one.

We do not observe this.

Certainly. There are more things that we can't observe than the large scale effects that we can observe.

Light cannot ONLY curve in "large gravity wells"...it must curve in EVERY one.

Newsflash: Light doesn't curve. Light always moves straight. It's spacetime that's curved.

It's that little thing (Relativity) a really smart dude found out about (Einstein).

probabilistically most of the electrons will wind up in the middle every time.
Probabilistically and every time in the same sentence?


You perform a double slit experiment. Thousands of electrons hit the screen. Most of them hitting the middle of the screen.

You start over and perform the double slit experiment again. Thousands of electrons hit the screen. Most of them hitting the middle of the screen.

You can't know where any individual particle will hit the screen due to the chaotic nature of the dark matter they are moving through and displacing. Think of them as getting 'knocked around' by the dark matter at the same time they are being guided by their associated wave in it. The "getting 'knocked around'" leads to the probabilistic result of any electron winding up at any particular spot. However, overall, you can determine what the interference pattern will most likely look like at the end of the experiment.

You are a crank if you stand beside science that can't explain jack shit without invoking immeasurable, undetectable, unobserved variables and claim they are at work, and claim they are measurable using a technique that you can't apply universally.
I'd prefer a plausible theory regardless if its falsifiable or not.

bschott stated

Indeed, as there is nil evidence of any low level cutoff, the question arises is how much and is it measurable with conventional instruments and if not then what type,of instruments do you need at what resolution level to discern a difference ?

bschott claims
We do not observe this
Within what level of instrumentation please ?

Did you not read or understand my post I made specifically to assist you ?

Do you understand the immense issue of experimental design methodology ?

Its plainly obvious gravity attarcts water & obviously so as the mass of the water is high and this is why we see ships descend below the horizon as they go away from us.

The advice I gave you is sound and there is none better, if you can imagine anything better then please enter into thoughtful dialectic to converge ?

ie. By how much would light bend in a weak & short g field such as Earth's ?

If it is falsifiable and but not falsified, though we threw everything at it, lets assume it's a fact.

Note that life is at the edge ;-).

Seeker2 suggested

Have come across this phenomenologically inspired divergence for decades, it seems to cause levels of angst, in English we presume we cover the rationale but, it so often has different unclear core meanings. So can we converge on a facet of the language/logic that offers a helpful base ?

ie.
I hold a pencil above a table & feel a force or pull. From the experimental evidence of hundreds of years of observations we can describe equation which imparts predictability ie Newtons, but the relationship is subject to a mathematical abstraction which is a theory but, if I were to let go of the pencil and observe it fall down - that and that alone is a Fact

Those of you focused on falsify-ability as if has useful metric, could you articulate how that fact could be falsified to perhaps disconnect the abstraction with observation as a truth in that context ?

@bs
You criticise a lot, called everyone "schmuck" or "psycho".
With such proponents it is no surprise that the electric theories do not take off.
Also you bore me, I can go to a drunk pub for that.
Why don't you explain YOUR view on what makes the galaxy tick?

Is that you downvoting me BS?
I am asking you to explain your ideas.

That much but not all stuff drops does not require Newton's theory. Note that there are things that do not fall. Hot smoke, a hot air ballon, all kinds of bugs, birds and bats, a plane, a chopper . I just falsified the theory that everything falls ! Your pencil could actually fly away instead. Are you living in Oklahoma? Houses fly up in that area.
Explain that with Newton's theory !

You'll need a whole lot more than Newton's theory if you want to establish facts.

Anyway I ask BS as politely as is appropriate here to explain his ideas. I suspect that he chickened out and instead anonymously downvotes my post. Isn't that sad.

Ah I see, I took a habitual shortcut & meant to include in an experimental framework in context squarely with the equation - all else being equal - in that best appropriate experimental framework - to me its second nature to manage material properties as part of the planning for experimental controls.

Let me help the poor schmuck then. Assume that the Sun had lost so many electrons that it had an average field of 5 micro V/m perpendicular to its surface, on average. Then a local, downward magnetic field wrt to the galactic plane of only a reasonable 5.5 micro Gauss would give it the same acceleration as galactic gravity does.
Can you check that for me BS or are you just an epigone of the electric crowd?

Are you living in Oklahoma? Houses fly up in that area.

Let me guess. What goes up has to come down. As a matter of fact in the end times everything comes down.

The subject dark matter measurement experiment puts new extended null limits on the existence of dark matter, and seems to claim this as a useful metric.

Hey, the Moon never falls down!
I don't expect to be around when it happens, but my guess is the black hole in the center of the galaxy will eventually swallow up everything in the galaxy. That's only because when this black hole feeds, it feeds on this galaxy. Black hole evaporation aside, I see nothing to stop this process.

Ahhhh... but they will ALL eventually fall back down...:-)

@WG
So now we have the pencil theory in its weak form.
The pencil will _eventually_ fall down, but it may only happen when we are no longer around or everything is swallowed up by a black hole first.
Can we now have a vote to reach consensus ?

Hi Seeker2, everyone. :)

I was re-checking some articles which I hadn't time to comment on before, when I noticed this thread which may be of interest to you and others discussing the galaxy and its core/ring features/motions...

Read more at: http://phys.org/n...html#jCp

I'm surprised that your Hypothetical DM discussion makes no mention of this new info/observation of outward motion of galaxy's stars; which effectively undermines currently assumed effects/distribution of DM (if it exists at all as hypothesized).

It would seem to make many of the prior mainstream hypotheses re 'Rotation Curves' and astrophysical 'structure' and 'behavior' and 'red/blue-shift assumptions/interpretations' not a little suspect and n need of revision to include this latest mainstream knowledge re ACTUAL (not presumed) stellar motions in galaxies.

Anyhow, must go. I'll look in again when I have time, maybe in a couple days. Cheers all. Play nice! :)

How wrong can a crank be?


If that's a scientifically valid question, these comments just kicked the LHC down to "2nd most perfectly built to answer a question scientific instrument." Right now, it looks like they can be so wrong as to peg the needle into "not even wrong" territory (complete misfire of the language centers of their brains), and I think with an upgrade we can get enough power output to get them into "transcendentally wrong" territory (so wrong they forget to enact life functions). I think we can generate mini-black holes of wrong with this eventually and maybe tap the realms of "metaphysically wrong" wherein they will be so wrong it crashes nature like a 486 loaded with spyware. This may be the planet eating scientific monster device the LHC got credit for being.

My case is that you all worship at the feet of Einstein. You have even bothered to search for breadcrumbs.

Here are more clues. These are experimentally verified, and falsify one particular aspect of GR. That is the spped of light limit.
Gunter Nimtz - superluminal tunneling time
A L Kholmetskii - superluminal coloumb field

non local entanglement is all over this very site! Of course, every article has to add "Spooky Action at a distance" to every quantum entanglement article.

Then there is the gravity propagates faster the C. This is the real elephant in the room.

Take note this is just the speed of light.

I have a list for every GR bullshit idea.

DM is only hypothesized as a possible reason why spinning galaxies don't fly apart as would normally be predicted from their rotations and mass distributions.

Of course, every article has to add "Spooky Action at a distance" to every quantum entanglement article.
Not as spooky as he claims. People don't realize the earth is in free fall. When you move something there must be an opposite reaction. That is the observer moves in the opposite direction from the object being moved about a point on the line connecting the two entangled objects while the entangled object does NOT move.

@TehDog
You're doomed, now there's no going back!

Then there is the gravity propagates faster the C. This is the real elephant in the room.
People don't realize when you accelerate the medium the objects moving in the medium travel faster than they would without the acceleration. For example I remember something about the diameter of the U being about 93b light years when it has been expanding for only 13.7b years. So gravity must have spread 93/2=46.5 b light years in both directions. This would be approximately 46.5/13.7=3.4 times the speed of light.

That is because Einstein started the subject, long before you were born.

It does not. See https://einstein....10.html.
So 2 scientists have controversial claims against SR.
Great, it keeps everyone sharp. If SR were disproved, which it is not, I would like to be the one who did it, but it hasn't. Note that DM and SR are unrelated.

Nimtz "results" are not on controversial. Everyone has gotten the same result.
The interpretation might be controversial. Of course , they have to save Einstein.

"Entanglement does not conflict with SR."
Because you say so?
2 distinct loophole free Bell tests prove no hidden variable. This means the interaction is non-local i.e. instantaneous.

Gravity propagates at least 50x faster than C.
Your link is broken.
There can be no stable orbit found using Gravity influence being a retarded potential.

apo's but you'll figure it out.

No experimental verification in your linked paper. Just some imaginary photon rocket. Go on google scholar and chek out other papers that cite that one.

Strange. You claim that GRT implies gravitational aberration which is not observed. Then I give you a paper that explains that GRT does NOT predict gravitational aberration.
And now you require an experimental proof.
That does not make any sense.

Hi Seeker2. :)
DM is only hypothesized as a possible reason why spinning galaxies don't fly apart as would normally be predicted from their rotations and mass distributions.
Yes, I knew that. :)

New observations (pls see link below) has new implications for that galactic-DM hypothesis, and that 'Rotation Curves' data as interpreted re 'not flying apart' etc.

http://phys.org/n...ays.html

As you can see from the new observational data implying that stars are "moving away from the galactic centre", it implies that galaxies ARE slowly "flying apart" at their 'outer rings' of stars.

If so, where does the need for DM come in NOW? Is it now a case of 'back to the drawing board' regarding prior Rotation Curve 'explanations' based on theories/hypotheses which this new observation now makes 'unnecessary'; hence maybe requiring NEW theory/hypotheses for their CORRECT explanation?

What's your opinion re implications for DM etc 'explanations'. :)

my2cts! I can't find the actual article now where you asked, but no, I don't think the LHC was built by cranks (unless you mean attached to pullies, but I would hope they'd use motors). What I meant was that the phys.org comments section is like a large hadron collider for studying howlers instead of particles. This is the right place to study crazy up close at high energies.

Sure, absolutely none.

This result was completely unexpected and all the more surprising as it appeared to mainly affect old stars, several billion years old. Until now, it was thought that the spiral arms mostly affected the dynamics of young stars (only a few tens-of-million-years old).

Looks like something happened billions of years ago. If you're saying physics itself is wrong, then this should also be happening in other galaxies, and an explanation for why it isn't happening to young stars is needed. I would look at other barred galaxies to see if it's happening there and compare to other types first, grouping stars by age. It could be a barred galaxy feature. If it's universal, then show me.

What's your opinion re implications for DM etc 'explanations'. :)
After a quick first read it sounds like the outer regions of the spiral arms are penetrating what some call the dark matter halo. So then there's nothing to keep them from flying out of the galaxy.

I should think the older stars would be the more likely ones to begin breaking the DM halo.

bschott/Mike_Masson Failed in claim

No !

There's NO evidence it doesnt AND is it measurable within the resolution of an instrument design, where?

Why bschott, do you think its easily measured via lensing around a star - Doh, because the field is so strong AND over comparatively long distance too?

bschott, tell us from maths used to determine lensing around a star how much deflection we would expect say along a lake of distance d in Earth's weak field of g=9.81m/s^2 ?

Can you do that please, a straightforward exercise, onus in upon YOU bschott !

Skippy, in case you have not noticed it, I have not been down voting the karma points for you or two-pennies-Skippy or the Thunder-Skippy either. But I see where you have been following me around down voting my karma points. That sorta makes you the hypocrite, eh? And the difference between a smart Skippy like me, and a really stupid Skippy like you, is I don't just say I don't care, I really don't care. You seem to care a lot because you keep on bringing it up.

So sit over there in the corner, with the silly looking pointy cap on your head. Yeah you can mumble and mutter to your self while you are doing it. And while you are doing that, see how many times you can say "fail" and "learn physics" while you are wondering why you look like a couyon with your silly looking pointy cap on your head.

Now leave me out of your whining postums, eh Cher?

simple Uncle Ira with odd incoherent ramblings says

What does a skippy even mean ?

When are you going to apologise for; stalking & defaming etc simple ?

What does a skippy even mean ?


I am sure a genius super duper superior smartest Skippy in the class Skippy can figure it out. It means something like "guy" or "dude" or "fellow" or some such thing like that. Got any more really stupid questions to ask hoping they make you look like a genius super duper superior smartest Skippy in the class Skippy?

When are you going to apologise for; stalking & defaming etc simple ?


For a genius super duper superior smartest Skippy in the class Skippy you sure do repeat some really stupid questions that have already been answered for you about 20 or 19 time before. Try real hard, I bet you can remember that same answer give to you 20 or 19 time before, eh? Try.

Last chance, leave off me couyon. You will really have something to whine about if you keep pushing it. See, this is how it is, I do not care how I look to the rest of the class. I do not care what a few couyons here think but you are only here because you care.

Uncle Ira, re votes you confuse me with Mike_Masson who just joined on 17th Dec 2015 & like so many posts where you skippy things against others you are consistent in that confusion.

For record someone called Mike_Masson is doing some odd behaviour all over the place as is clear from the record, look closely the 2nd last letter in his nick is 'o', that is not me.

Read ! I have already suggested the nick be deleted as its obviously some d.ck trying to obfuscate & you fell into it, doesnt bother me except some can't tell the difference ie U

Doesnt change the fact I lump you Uncle Ira with others angrily confuse mere claim with evidence ie You claim

1 I stole
2 My ebay nick (Purple_Engine) was deleted due to theft
3 I live in Mt hawthorn
4 I had "run-ins" with antialias_physorg, T Larsen & others

All false

U & fail to apologise when proven wrong !
You make unscientific posts that offer no useful information & confirmed you stalked me

Discern evidence from claim !

Uncle Ira Fails to read, Fails to understand, Fails to offer any Physics or useful links

Please re-read your idle, narrow redneck claims & WHY you confuse evidence with idle claim !

Find out
https://sciencex...._Masson/

is NOT me, then grow up, apologise for lying to the public forums & defaming

For record, this is where you defamed me, got confused & refused to own up & apologise, unlike you I apologise if wrong, you don't, instead you claim I'm begging, ffs !

Do you get it, Uncle Ira, being a mere follower of prejudice,stalking and defaming me are not just not smart they are potentially criminal & inappropriate

Physics pls

Mike-Skippy shows that he is the most dense genius super duper smartest Skippy in the class Skippy.

Uncle Ira, re votes you confuse me with Mike_Masson who just joined on 17th Dec 2015 & like so many posts where you skippy things against others you are consistent in that confusion.


Okayeei, I got tricked by that one. I apologize for that one. But not the other stuffs. I still think they are the trut.

Now either leave me be and don't make me the misere any more, or get out your victim whining crying baby rag, last chance, eh Cher?

Please re-read your idle, narrow redneck claims


Let me tell you one thing Cher.I am not the redneck, I am the coonass.

Do you get it, Uncle Ira, being a mere follower of prejudice,stalking and defaming me are not just not smart they are potentially criminal & inappropriate.


Hooyeei, I had no idea about that. Does that mean the Sheriff is about to knock on my door?Well you tell him that if he comes around with something that silly that he is going to lose my vote next election for being the same sort of couyon that Mike-Skippy is.

potentially criminal


You wonder why nobody really believes you are the genius super duper smartest Skippy in the class Skippy. You been around long enough to see that one about 500 times before how silly he is.

Mike-Skippy appears before the High Sheriff,

Ira-Skippy hurt my feelings and made me look silly on the physorg interweb place so I want you to go get him and haul him off the Parrish Prison.

This is the wrong approach. The difficulty is that the mechanical properties of vapors is more easily analyzed by its electromagnetic properties. In fact, the viscosity of the material can be obtained in this manner, and I have calculated it for a vacuum, which indicated that black matter exists "right next door". From this, the vacuum of space can be and has been determined!
Been searching on that. How does this vacuum viscosity affect planetary orbits?
