By the time you've read this, a billion billion dark matter particles may have streamed through your body like ghosts. The particle or particles of the dark sector make up the vast majority of the mass of the universe - so to them, we're the ghostly ones. Today we're going to try to make contact with dark matter particles and enter into the Dark Universe.

    Because no one knows the truth of the cosmos ( infinite or finite / endless or temporary) much speculation, imagination, calculation and modeling has been acceptable, and taken by consensus of opinion to be the most likely true. To say that "the universe is expanding" is an absolute term , which does not conform to observation. All things within the cosmos are temporary but not the universe as a whole , all part of it are fractions of it , endlessly recycled. Which means there is as much negentropy as there is entropy ie , creation ( negetropy) is a continual event at the same time as destruction (entropy) . Or we can believe that all time, matter, energy and space itself appeared in nothingness without a cause , and certainly without a creator entity of any kind since there would be nowhere for them to exist. The choice one has to make seems simple yet it has profound consequences. Science cannot prove or disprove either case, currently and never will ( that is the nature of infinity). Did the universe have a beginning or not. ? This is fundamentally a choice that everyone eventually makes , regardless of it being chosen consciously or not. Dose your universe have a boundary or not ? We are a separate and a part of the whole at the same time . Since all we are comes from here and shall return to here , in this sense we are eternal , but in our life time we are separate and temporal, just like "every - thing" . There is no other place one can be. either as an entity or dissolved energy, mater and patterns. In dark matter , it could be that our maths , simply does not work at that scale.

    "There's no evidence of dark matter." I understand what you're trying to say, but really you're just restating the absolute most basic obvious part of dark matter, which is that all we see is its effect and it could be just about anything. It's like... yep, uh-huh, good job, dark matter could be anything and probably isn't matter, but that was supposed to be the premise the episode was based on and explored, not the conclusion you're supposed to have drawn by the end.

    Probably some new rules of physics that we haven't discovered yet because the material we need to study is a little beyond our reach and/or we're not sure where/what it is or how to find it. It might not even exist but could just be a tweak we need to make to a rule or theory we've already taken for granted. I really don't think it's exotic matter unless it exists in another dimension or 'brane' that extends its reach into our 'neighbourhood'. Of course, if that was the case we would still be no further ahead cuz we still wouldn't know what it was... we'd just know where it came from. Of course then we;d need to find out where "that" was.

    Hi Matt! I see all your videos, they are great. As for dark matter, what if it didn't exist. And I'm not talking about the theories that modify the laws of gravity (MOND). Are you familiar with the work of Mariateresa Crosta from INAF? Using data from the Gaia probe, they modeled using relativity and the precise proper positions and motions of stars in the Milky Way. And it seems that in this model, dark matter is not necessary for the Milky Way to move as we see it moving. What do you think? Greetings from Argentina.

Question: if time were to be warp in certain regions for reasons unrelated to the density of particles, would such warping have an effect similar to what we describe as dark matter? As for what else could warp time, there may be a number of picks (e.g. string theory's other 6 or 7 dimensions interacting with time, or anything else )

    If dark mater was comprised of these matter antimatter counterparts that were created in the early universe and are having problems finding their counterpart, wouldn't this give dark matter a half-life as they slowly find each other and annilate? Thus you could check the quantity of dark matter in galaxies across time and see if more recent ones have less dark matter? Also, what would their annilation produce? When normal matter and antimatter do so, the result is, among other things, light which we can detect. Would dark matter and anti matter annilation produce light or something else entirely?

  • @garethdean6382

    Yes, on all counts. Dark matter particles might even be their own antiparticle (As is the case with photons.) The strength of their interaction would govern their half life. We have in fact looked for such a signal and found none yet, which puts constraints on their decay. astromev.in2p3.fr/?q=aboutus/dark-matter-annihilation-and-decay Given the mass of dark matter this makes it unlikely much has decayed over time. (And a complication arises in that while large galaxies have about the same dark matter content, smaller ones can vary from none to more than 99% dark matter.) A meeting of particle and antiparticle is basically a rearrangement. Two go in, two go out. The most likely result is two photons. All forces are connected (As far as we know, even if only by gravity. The strength of interaction determines how frequently products appear.)

    I have said elsewhere that inviolate CPT symmetry implies antiparticles are traveling backwards in time, the big bang created equal particles and antiparticles, but they quickly separated, the antiparticles going backwards in time to form the previous universe, which we see as a universe undergoing a big crunch (and they would see themselves as expanding and us as collapsing). If as this episode suggests, dark matter is also a particle type created at the big bang, but there is a problem with dark matter antiparticles, the time reversal of antiparticles also completely solves this.

    Viva La Revolution! We must free particles from the tyranny of the Standard Model! But seriously you guys should do the history of the Standard Model and its competitor theories. But also why the Standard Model still holds up. It gives perspective and shows that we are always learning even if its new reasons why the Standard Model is correct.

    It all depends on what fraction of the speed of light you are traveling, or how close to a black hole you are located. 😁

    No it means there is no universal time and each point in space experiences it's own time and events. Some commenters experienced this video earlier relative to you

    Based on telepathy maybe I've already watched/heard parts of it. I dreamed the matrix 4 around 2017, often get spoilers while running outside my ultramarathons then the films happen.. and now 2021-2022 in october we gn ahave matrix 4

    Become a physicist, write an influential paper using that as the dark matter particle representation, and it'll likely stay as the representation

    From a general layman's mind. If dark matter particles don't interact with each other...I am fine with that...but both particles still have mass. And if they are "cold " would they not clump?

    Yeah, I don't understand either why they wouldn't gravitationally collapse just like regular matter collapses into stars, planets etc. And if dark matter particles don't interact with each other, there should be nothing stopping them from collapsing completely into a black hole. What am I missing?

    Say 2 rocks are gravitationally attracted to each other in space: when they make contact (thanks to electromagnetism), their relative velocities become zero, and the kinetic energy just converts to heat or something. If they couldn’t physically interact, they would pass straight through each other and keep going; any energy lost by one would be exactly gained by the other. If dark matter can only interact gravitationally, then it can’t clump up because gravity alone can’t bring the relative motion of 2 ghostly moving objects down to zero. Even if some dark matter particles entered some kind of orbit, it would just take a little interference to scatter it all apart again.

    I still don’t get it. The dark particle has gravity, but is weakly interacting. So I get why it doesn’t affect us. But why doesn’t it clunk together? Into large stars / dark black holes / you know dark clunks of particles? I mean it has enough time to do so....

    They don't interact with each other much, 1 of the 4 qualifiers for dark matter as mentioned in the video. Therefore they don't clump up much through gravity with themselves, instead affecting other particles more, explanation at 4:08
