Bose - Really? Why isn't the dark matter all pulled to the center of the galaxy by its own gravity? It doesn't look like its rotating.

Dark matter is a hypothetical kind of matter that cannot be seen with telescopes but accounts for most of the matter in the universe. The existence and properties of dark matter are inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large-scale structure of the universe. It has not been detected directly, making it one of the greatest mysteries in modern astrophysics

Thanks for uploading - interesting lecture and very well presented!

A great talk, probably the best I've seen on Dark Matter. I also loved how intelligent the questions afterward were.

The hype man should be a Fermilab legend. I was love to find out that introduction is remembered among Fermilab insiders.

Alice Zeiger. This was lots of fun, and the lecturer was great The only reservation I have in saying so is that, in physics, there is always a denominator lurking around somewhere. And I'm never ready for it. Therefore, in a really good lecture, I often don't realize that I don't understand what's going on as well as I just thought I did. Except, maybe, after the lecturer is done.

So much better than the brain dead "Hollywoodized" docu-tainment garbage on television.

The downside for when we understand Dark Matter is that it won't be so mysterious anyone. The upside is also that it won't be mysterious anymore.

Great explanations. I cannot wait to see the results of the next 30 years. Hopefully a result is forthcoming. I’m no particle physicist, but I can say that anything is nature is very natural and we see that, once we are aware how any given system works. The spin of the galaxies is very curious indeed. Black holes have more to them then just existing and creating gravitation waves. Scientists do not attempt to understand their inner structure, and I think this is a major mistake. While past the event horizon lays “elsewhere” it still represents volume within our universe. What is their function......

I love nature, keep it rolling!

DM is an elegant explanation - best fit. But we don't know what we don't know and a better understanding of quantum mechanics may bring other explanations. Particles with no locality or time signature, entanglement, and virtual particles may offer an alternative to explain the phenomena responsible for accelerated expansion.

Great lecture!

on this day Monday 12th of February I unified QUANTUM MECHANICS AND GENERAL RELATIVITY! now can someone please tell me who requires the answer and how do i get it to them.

I think that more needs to be known about the area in space you are observing the density of gamma radiation in. You mention it, but it is worth restating that a feeding black hole (or anything else either massive enough or intense enough - e.g. particle collision at speed in the Hadron Collider) can or does create gamma rays which are also a byproduct of E=MC squared. Great presentation, is there a rationale behind why you are finding a density of gamma rays in the data rather than finding a spread of gamma rays? I guess what I'm not following is - if we are assuming Dark Matter to be non-EMI based and ruling out the EMI forms of matter and that Dark Matter doesn't interact with normal matter (as explained as passing through our hand) I don't entirely follow how the presence of an electromagnetic wave such as a Gamma ray indicates a density of Dark Matter. In the initial description Dark Matter sounds like it's proposed to be some form of a non-conductor which doesn't interact with the electromagnetic spectrum. It would almost seem that absence of gamma rays in an area could be more an indication of dark matter - supposing that as a non-conductor it block or somehow deflects the path of the gamma ray - which also sounds improbable if the description that it does not interact with EMI and there by shouldn't reflect, change the course, or absorb something based in the EMI.

I like in every model of the singularity it is surrounded by a dark space. In the model too it has to be surrounded by dark space before light can travel. That a magical area helped to cool down the infant universe and it physically did it all on its own with nothing to radiate that kind of heat. Found it kind of interesting that they thought of interactions with antimatter. That ultimately dark matter is interacting with particles if it is primed down to size.

Shouldn't planets also move faster than expected? That can be easy calculated and dark matter density around star can produce some sun effects

Don't believe Dan answered Troy's question: "What were you smoking when you wrote the paper?" Think it was lead-up to the follow-up question:"Where can I get some of that?" Great imaginative work on DM annihilation. Good job, now get back to work!

Like explaining looking for intelligent messages from space in high energy wave lengths while ignoring crop circles around the globe. Fermilabs telling us that Dark Matter exists while ignoring the massive amounts of Blackholes in the Universe .... remember, when going the speed of light, drive around the black holes - black holes are black, nothing escapes their grasp, not even light

If the observation holds up: what parts of the theory-"playground" are excluded? I mean in order for the models to be distinctive, they have to make different predictions... (- aside from the problems DM was invented to solve: mass distribution / structure formation).

So a black hole do emit: (1)Gamma rays from it's poles, (2)Hawking radiation, (3)Gravity waves when two BH collide and (4)Explode upon shrinking to the smallest size. Can black holes radiate dark energy too? (Since stars emit light) Just seems like there is more going on here...

Yes, black holes produce high energy photons. What else could explain the high energy photons coming from black holes throughout the universe? According to physics and laws of motion gas and dust do not have the mass required to produce angular momentum. Thus gas and dust should be on a beeline straight towards black holes. Rubbing together to produce the high energy photons would imply that the dust and gas were falling at different rates which would violate the theory of general relativity. Matter falls at the same rate without regards to weight.

I have some questions: Since we don't know what exactly DM is, how do we know they can annihilate and create Gamma rays? Also If the most of DM within the galaxy is contained at the center, doesn't that mean that the Galaxy should still move like it doesn't have any dark matter? (like the left Galaxy at 7:50) I thought the dark matter has a different distribution than the light matter and that's what is causing the Galaxy to move Faster on the outer radii than it should.

+SAHM I'll take this one. We don't know that CDM particles can annihilate and create gamma rays. That is the theory that is being tested at the moment. There is an otherwise unexplained level of gamma wavelength radiation that has been observed since the Fermi telescope has been operational. This is an attempt to explain what it is. Dr. Hooper explained some other candidates for the radiation may be: black holes, pulsars, etc... but CDM particles seem to be the most likely candidate, which is the basic principle of the whole talk. A really nice way to help confirm this is if CDM detectors (like the xenon one) actually got a corresponding detection that can't be explained by the standard model ... or if CERN made some new particle at these energy levels. The halo of DM making up the Milky Way has been determined to be spherical and does indeed drop off in density as you get farther away from the center. It is also significantly larger than the luminous portion (totally enveloping it). So that, combined with the spherical geometry, leads to the observed spin (the model on the right in this presentation). You would be correct that galactic spin would be different if it were all concentrated in the center and spiral in geometry (model on the left).

+SAHM So if all the dark matter would be instantly (magically) replace by, say, just free hydrogen atoms of the same total mass in the exact same density distribution, then the galactic spin would be the same as now (the same as with dark matter). Heck, if you distributed golf balls through the galaxy with the same overall density distribution replacing the current dark matter, the galactic spin would remain the same. That might be convenient, but the reason we know DM it isn't hydrogen, golf balls, or any luminous matter currently in the standard model of particle physics is that we could see evidence of any of those things via clouding, refraction, absorption, etc... and if it were "normal" matter, it would react with other "normal" matter and have clumped together settling into solar systems and stuff by now (since our galaxy is well over 10 billion years old).

Brian R Wait, my question is not about their existence, (eg they said we need 5 times more mass for gravity pulls to work) My question is about their distribution that he said is mostly in the galactic core ( just like ordinary mass).

Here is an idea... I wonder if light (EM radiation) from stars can somehow increase the production rate of virtual electron-positron pairs in free space due to ever-present quantum vacuum fluctuations. And these virtual electron-positron pairs are interacting gravitationally (no outside EM interaction) before popping out of existence again. Maybe dark-matter isn't permanent, but more a property of how space behaves when the quantum fields are excited by passing bosons. Virtual particle production and destruction rates are able to reach different equilibrium pair concentrations (more-or-less gravity), depending on the concentration of bosons flying through a volume of space. That's why you would find "dark-matter" clustered around normal matter. It's because that's where the highest radiation concentrations are. I think we will need to understand gravity a lot better (quantum theory) before we will be able to determine what dark matter is.

This public lecture is even better than Feynman's

I like watching scientists trying to explain what they do to a general audience - some do so extremely fluently and others struggle tremendously but either way it's a break from all those samey TV drama shows they encourage you to buy twice.

Great presentation. But I really want to go to the reception with punch and cookies. That makes me hungry!

How about trying to use the lightest Solid because itgood insulator to hot and cold substance ? On the LZ dark matter experiment.

If his assertion is correct that there may be represented a new sub-particle then there also may be a way to make stable elements previously found impossible within the periodic table. An entirely new understanding of physical dynamics may actually exist. If the sub-particle is a stable version of the Higgs Boson, or even a transient manifestation of it, other worlds unimagined might still be in the offing!

Always enjoy a dark matter lecture.

Where can I get that computer simulator of our Milky Way black hole?

My hypothesis that Dark Matter is not a weakly interactive massive particle (WIMP), but maybe is a deformation of space-time by which the curvature of space-time itself is the cause of the gravitational effect. Gravity is the consequence of the curvature of space-time when mass is present. It may be possible that the structure of space-time itself could be warped without the presence of mass. So, how did this warping occur? We believe this warping of space-time occurred during the extreme conditions present during inflation. Space-time has been shown to react like a fabric by warping, twisting, and propagating independent of mass. These properties have been proven with observations of gravitational lensing, frame dragging, and now gravitational waves. Fabrics can be stretched, pressured, and/or heated to the point of deformation. Such extreme conditions were all present during inflation, so it is plausible that space-time’s elastic nature could have hit its yield point and permanently deformed. Therefore, if gravity is the consequence of the warping of space-time, and fabrics can be permanently deformed, then a deformation could create a gravitational effect independent of mass. Thus, the unidentified dark "matter" that seems to be so elusive to modern science may not be matter at all but merely warped deformities causing gravitational effects. We have a prediction using gravitational lens mapping to prove Dark Matter isn’t a weakly interacting massive particle, but instead is a floating fixed pocket of warped geodesics in space-time geometry causing gravity wells.

Stadtpark90 The DM halo surrounds the galaxy entirely.

I watched Dr Dan's video & i read the comments & i would like to give an aether perspective (ie a non-Einsteinian perspective). Ranzan says that a neutrino is made of two helical photons sharing the same axis (the fields negate). Hencely a neutrino has a mass of twice the mass of a single photon (the standard model says that photons dont have mass). Anyhow the destruction of a neutrino must produce two photons. Elementary particles are made of confined-photons, made when a free-photon bites its own tail & forms a loop (Williamson). If free-neutrinos (dark photons) likewise form loops then perhaps this gives dark elementary particles (possible i think), which form dark sub-atomic particles (impossible i think), which form dark atoms (impossible), giving us a class of dark matter (yes & no), & a class of blackhole (possible i think). I reckon that dark elementary particles (having no charge & no electro magnetic field), would not be able to form nuclear atoms (ie dark atoms), but would be able to directly form the equivalent of a neutron star, but made of dark quarks & dark electrons packed tightly together (due to gravity). These dark-stars need not be very massive, in which case they could be called dark-planets, & dark-moons, & dark-asteroids, & dark-dust. They need not be very massive, but all of them would be as dense as any neutron star. This type ofdark-mass might be as black as the mythical Einsteinian BlackHole, perhaps blacker. Dark-mass would gravitationally attract ordinary (visible) mass, & this might create very visible bursts of ordinary photons. A dark-star colliding or merging with another dark-star (or other dark-mass) might also create bursts of ordinary photons, giving visibility for a while (including gamma rays etc). Dr Dan might be measuring these gamma rays. Dark-quarks & dark-electrons would have no charge or emf (the opposite of what Dr Dan says-expects). Very massive ordinary stars (ie neutron stars) if having a plasma atmosphere must be blueholes due to Cherenkov (blue) light, hencely these are not blackholes (they are blueholes). Einsteinian BlackHoles (where the mass can become a singularity & where the escape velocity equals or exceeds c) are impossible. Anyhow blueholes can be much less massive than BlackHoles, & there might be a great number of blueholes distributed throo all of the Milky Way. I haven’t done the math but i think that unless a dark-star or a neutron-star can shrink to form a singularity (or very nearly) then the escape velocity can never reach c. Ranzan has a theory where mass disappears out of existence inside a super-massive star. Regarding dark-mass, neutrinos have mass & hencely are themselves dark-mass. Ordinary photons have half the mass of neutrinos & hencely can be classed as dark-mass, not because they are dark, but because Einsteinians are blind to them.

The dismissal of neutrinos as was very fast. I think it would have deserved some more atttention because that's the first idea an amateur student would usually think of. Because, obviously, they have been getting produced alot, even at the beginning at the universe - and have we got estimates how many ?

I have also wondered why neutrinos are always immediately dismissed. There could be an extremely dense sea of low energy neutrinos around you and you would have no way of knowing about it.

Could the beam from a pulsar reflect off of a planet and be reflected back to earth? It would give a 3d version of a part of the universe and that might help with the hunt for dark matter

"Dark matter" is the flow of electrons into galaxies. The galaxies have B-fields and when electron flows into gives a force f=eVxB=mv^2/r. The result rotation v=(e/m)(z/c)I=220km/s. The electrons come from escaped hot bodies. See my book The Universe is Electric.

I have a theory that dark matter has developed as the universe developed and has increased over time and the reason we cannot see it isnt because it is "dark" or consisting of non polarized particles that block light. (That theory makes no sense because if it were the case we would not see any stars) I think we cant see it because it is opaque. I theorise dark matter as being liquid helium that has collected in deep space between galactic bodies. Every star emits megatons of helium everyday, expelling helium in all directions. Have scientists ever thought about what role that helium plays in the universe? Or what happens with all that helium and how the helium interacts in subzero temperatures and in low gravity regions? I think the answer is right under our nose and is much more simple than scientists thought. I think it's existence has been overthought and we've been looking in the wrong perspective, hence why we cant understand it. We looked too far beyond what it could be and is much more simple than the common theories

Quantum field is more fundamental than space, time, energy, black matter/energy, gig bang, big bounce, inflation etc. I wonder why physicists doesn't focus on QF.

Dark Shadows....I'm scared. * good show from the 60's. Alright...it's O.K.

I have a new theoretical direction. That is, our world is made up of multi-dimensional space. Normal matter mainly represents the amount of changes in the motion of objects in three-dimensional space. Dark matter represents the amount of change in motion of objects in more than three-dimensional space. For example, the information in text is a kind of dark matter, because text can affect various movements of people. The knowledge we learn is in words, and we all communicate through words. So words have a lot of energy, and this energy is a kind of dark energy. Any object has many spatial dimensions. The dark matter problem we are currently facing lies in the fact that we have always believed that the world is composed of three-dimensional space. Normal matter and energy are to change the amount of movement of objects in three-dimensional space. For example, petroleum and nuclear energy are mainly used to provide energy for objects in three-dimensional space.

We have never seen a galaxy rotate any appreciable amount. The only thing we have are Doppler shifts. We are making conclusions based only on Doppler shifts. Another shocking possibility is that our extremely fledgling observations are not being interpreted correctly.

More will be introduced as time goes on--you can count on it. My point was not this, however. It is that from the Doppler velocity measurement, we can infer that galaxies are spinning. We can't tell if there is a net inward flow of stars, or if they're flowing outward from the center. That component of the Doppler shift is too small. We assume they're being gravitationally drawn inward. This assumption may be false in some cases. That's all I'm saying. If you really look at some galaxies, it looks like some have star factories in the middle, flinging them outward onto an expanding space. This also might not be true, but it really looks like that in many cases. Our terrestrial experience suggests that things are being pulled inward, but if you look at the moon/Earth system, the moon is actually being pushed outward from the center of gravity by a tidal transfer effect.

onehit pick Yeah, because obviously cosmologists _never_ considered any of those factors when trying explain galactic doppler shift observations. It's not like anybody thought they were going to get a Nobel for the "must be invisible matter" conclusion.

If galaxies really are sucking inward (which I doubt), it's just black holes and brown dwarfs in an old universe. Nothing magic. Look -- galaxies these days rotate, notionally, about once every quarter BILLION years. The universe is, supposedly, only some 13-14 billion years old and has expanded from a singularity to a visible horizon of 93 billion light-years in that time. You have to think about that massive amount of expansion in a small number of current galactic revolutions. From point to galaxy. From point to supercluster. From point to cosmos. Galaxies are flying apart too, even now, despite any "gravitational bind". The expansion causes gravity as a side effect, as the inertia of mass resists.

What's bothering me is that bullet like picture of collision of two galaxies when two globes of dark matter fly thru each other with no collision. okay, dark matter does not interract with regular matter - thats okay for me. But dark matter is gravitationally involved , that means dark matter particles should stick to each other gravitationally and if they not interract there should be ultimate mass concentrated in singular point after a while! Shouldn't be a somewhat like Lennard-Jones potential for dark matter?

Is it possible that dark matter are the constituent of quark and lepton? Maybe during the big bang some dark matter became charge and transform into quark and lepton that formed atoms.

Ben 1 those particles you mentioned interact via forces that DM particles are known NOT to interact with strongly, EM (i.e. radiation). WIMPS are proposed to interact through the so-called "weak force" and obv gravity.

p.s it will add an awesome intersection for the really inquisitive if you are super aware

Where?

I almost thought that i heard Bob Odenkirk's voice :-o

It's soooo simple. If you look at the way gravity warps space you can see that all matter is dark matter and conversely all dark matter is matter depending on where you are located. People open your eyes!

why is gravity still considered a force??

Indeed, gravity is a reaction. It is not a force.

Love to hear and learn from these lectures. Anyone who refutes the conclusions here is an idiot unless they understand the science as well as this gentleman and has data to back up their refutation. Scientists say what they think and they reveal the data that causes them to think as they do. I love hearing scientists explain things in reference to what is known and what is not yet known. My only issue is the amount of money we spend and the value the common man gets from that expense. What is the point of science if we refuse to learn from it?

James Smith ...absolutely! ESPECIALLY those brainwashed cult-type babblers who keep bringing up the retarded idea of "electric universe"; a terrible idea for which there exists ZERO EVIDENCE supporting it. It's just one of those things, like bad conspiracy theories (which are all of them), that impressionable, ignorant people absorb like sponges!!!

So it must be likely that dark matter is a lot of different things just as visible matter is?

i love how we rewrite an entire universe to make it fit our minuscule minds when we should be rethinking our minuscule minds to fit our virtually endless universe

That's what physicists do all the time. There are plenty of crazy ideas out there that go way beyond the already established theories. A presentation like this will focus on the most plausible things from what we already know, but that doesn't mean that research constraints itself to this.

start here 2:50 if you would like to keep your sanity

Say you shoot a photon left, and then you shoot another photon right, and you ask yourself where is the mass of that system of two massless photons? Each one is massless individually, but the system of both is massive. There isn't a "thing" still there at the origin of two photons flying apart, imagine a star (or many) moving through spacetime and emitting photons until stellar death, you can imagine a trail of dark matter (which is actually not a thing you can see or touch, it's just the mass of two things which are very far apart) along the path of the star. Imagine a galaxy (or many), and you can imagine an oblong halo of dark matter around it (or them), but you can't see a material object or particles, you can only sense the gravitational effects of the invariant mass of the system of counterpropagating photons that aren't there at the origin anymore. That's what I think dark matter is.

More accurate to call it .

Here's a fascinating thought: Dark Matter is affected by the gravity of a Black Hole, but it doesn't "feed it" like normal matter would. Is that Dark Matter trapped within the Event Horizon, or not?.
