    Meanwhile in the dark matter universe:
    "There exists a small but substantial source of gravity in our universe. It's a mysterious anomaly because we can't directly observe it or interact with it, but it accounts for about 5% of the gravity in our universe. We call it "bright matter" because it's analogous to a tiny, lit candle in the middle of a vast, open field at night."

    • @ryanpauloneeyed9669
      @ryanpauloneeyed9669 3 роки тому +6

      The funny thing is the would probably still just refer to us as something similar as we do them (dark matter/energy) because there matter would be visible to them (maybe illuminating in a way we don't see) and we would still be invisible to them. We both would naturally relate our "visible" matter as being the bases to compare the others to

      I was reading the first part of that in the Twilight Zone narrator's voice. XD
      Just imagine that the whole universe is just an oil spill from something an unimaginable magnitude bigger and oil is black with swirling color in it and Dark Matter/Gravity is just that oil pushing the swirling galaxies apart.
      I keep thinking up this stuff.

    I'm just going to pause this video from the beginning for a little while. No matter where the topic goes, seeing a new Star Talk video is like having my favorite dessert after dinner. I am so thankful that there are frequent episodes of Neil, Chuck, and the special guests on this great show. So, for the time being, I am going to wait until my hunger builds up more for this Grand Dessert. TBH, I may also grab a bowl of Ice Cream with Chocolate Syrup and Whipped Cream while I watch the episode.

      Nope, the Greeks thought the aether (quintessence) was what made the "sky"; the Higgs field permeates everything down to the center of the Earth and of course, all of the sky. Aether was heavenly and affected only the heavens, the Higgs field affects everything.

    Jenna is so smart, love when she is a guest. Blowing minds. Oh can I have your job Chuck, basically a free 4 year degree being on the show, but I know you take notes and have learned a lot, and participate well not just with humor, you bring the every man's questions, just love this channel 🙏👍
