  • How is it possible that you can't see 95% of the universe? The edge of our milky way defies known physics, so physicists are using the LHC at CERN to search for Dark Matter.
    Dianna Cowern from Physics Girl visited CERN and spoke to theoretical physicists about Dark Matter.

    Thanks for the explanation. It really helped my understanding. However, the one question no one seems to address is how we know that the galaxies are spinning faster than they should be? How do we measure the speed of rotation of a galaxy? How do we measure their total mass and the mass of the inner and outer stars? What is the difference? What is the variation of results when multiple galaxies are compared?

      @MrSlowestD16 2 роки тому +5

      You can measure the speed by observing the stars' motion relative to the center, and the mass based on the orbit relative to the center.
      The last part though, I think is what the woman in the video was saying, where dark matter is anywhere from non-existent in some galaxies, to 95% of the mass in others. So I guess the leading theory is it varies from galaxy to galaxy (?).

    Wonderful video. Toward the end, Physics Girl said: "I'm still hung up on the fact that we can only see five percent of our universe."
    As a species, maybe our "seeing" is limited. We know that animals have a keener sense of smell than humans. Maybe our sense of sight is just as limited.
    From all the discourse on "dark matter" I have read about, the concept strikes me as being just a label for that which we do not understand. Couldn't we just as easily call it "dark chocolate"? And I further wonder whether dark "matter" is actually the same thing as dark "energy", but just in a slightly different form.

      Agreed. With our use of detectors for non-visible light, we shouldn't be surprised that there are still things we can't "see".
      And "Dark Matter" is one of these two things:
      (1) Matter that exists (holds galaxies together, gravitational lensing, etc.) but we haven't figured out how to detect; or,
      (2) an indication that our theories on what matter and energy are are wrong, and that it's not a lack of matter that muck up our expectations of galaxy observations.

      I'm also curious if this has something to do with why so far we are not detecting any other verifiable advanced civilizations in the observable universe. The argument has always been that we should be detecting radio waves if there were other civilizations because that seems the most likely way that any would be communicating, at least through a major portion of their history. It could be like Star wars or Star Trek out there but they are using some other form of communication and our species just can't detect it. Maybe other life forms are even invisible or noncorporreal from our point of view.

    So some people might be familiar with the name of Hannes Alfven. He was both an electrical engineer, and an astrophysicist. He applied what he knew of the laws of electrodynamics as laid out by Maxwell, Ampere, and Faraday to what he saw in the cosmos in what are still considered to be 'unconventional' ways, one of which was to interpret the rotation of spiral galaxies according to everyday electrodynamic principles. They even named some plasma phenomenon after him (Alfven waves), and he also was awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on magnetohydrodynamics, although he later went on to revise his understanding of electrodynamics to essentially revoke his earlier postulates on MHD.
    Anyway, Alfven noted that the rotation of spiral galaxies behaved like a Faraday disk, or a homopolar motor. Essentially, if you pump an electric current through a plasma, it will rotate due to the Lorentz Force. Since the galaxy is a big pool of plasma, it whirls due to the Lorentz Force but cannot escape because of the concurrent magnetic field created by the initiating electric current. This would also explain the 'how' of spiral galaxies, as well as the 'why'.
    An interesting sidenote to the above is that there is an almost equal amount of visible plasma as there is hypothesized 'dark matter/energy/etc'. Simply by considering basic nuclear chemistry and the behavior of dipolar atoms in electromagnetic fields, one is able to explain: the observations of the matter at the edge of galaxies and why they do not slingshot away into the void; the bipolar geometry of stellar systems/galaxies/galactic clusters/etc; the axial alignment of visible galaxies; magnetic fields at all scales of observation in the cosmos; high frequency emissions of cosmic objects of all scales. The list really does go on and on...
    The list really does go on an on and on. Just as Hannes Alfven, who is known as the Father of Plasma Cosmology, applied his knowledge of electrodynamics and the behaviors of plasma to astrophysics, I would encourage anyone interested in astronomy and astrophysics to consider taking a course in either Nuclear Chemistry or even just Basic Electricity. It really and truly makes SO much more sense of modern observations of the cosmos than the old Standard Theory does.
    Peace :)

      Well, that's the ultimate question, isn't it?
      If you believe that the universe is finite and created from a big bang event, then it must have delimiting boundaries, perhaps on one side being the universe, and on the other being nothing at all, not even space. Or, more likely, does space wrap around so that the other side of the boundary is actually a continuation from the other side of the universe? Like the globe of the earth, could you get to one side of the universe by actually traveling in the opposite direction to your ultimate destination? In such a case, the universe would indeed seem infinite.

      The Universal “Edge” is a very tricky subject.
      The big bang isn’t expansion from a single point, like that of a Baloon.
      But it’s more thought of as the expansion of an area on the *surface* of the balloon.
      tThat means the Universe isn’t expanding from a single point, but everywhere at once, all the time, at a rate that’s increasing every second.
      The “Edge” of the Universe is the Edge of “Our” Universe/The Universe we can see. The Universe is most definitely larger than we can see. What we call the Edge is just the edge of what we are able to see.
      Think of the Edge as the Render Distance of a video game like Minecraft.

    • @stoneysauce
      @stoneysauce 6 місяців тому

      Yes, Im not referring to the the edge of the 'known universe', that which we simply cannot see beyond, but rather the edge that started out in the big bang and delimits the actual edge of the entire universe. Is it possibly true that the universe is unbound, and that there may not be an edge, the universe actually looping back upon itself, meaning that if you were to continue traveling in the same direction would you eventually arrive at your starting location?
      Space may indeed have been concentrated in a single point at the time of the Big Bang, which would explain the Cosmic Microwave Background. I'm inclined to believe that the universe is not infinite, as infinity is a purely mathematical concept that really has no examples in reality. Again, boggling.

Vera Rubin was in the half a century later, and she was part of a team working for Ken Freeman. All they did was re-measure the same data with 'greater accuracy' using a spectrograph.

    • @FLPhotoCatcher

      Dark Energy seems to be matter and the fabric of space falling into a black hole from another universe. The increasing mass and speed of matter falling into the other universe's black hole may be why the expansion of this universe is accelerating. This universe may be a white hole, and is the 'other side' of a black hole.
      Dark MATTER may be explained by gravity being not uniform. My explanation: Gravity is explained by the strong and weak nuclear forces leaking through from countless other universes. These other universes have changing fundamental forces, causing planets and matter itself to disintegrate in almost all of them. This gradient of disintegrated matter in these other universes causes particles in our U to move toward the higher concentration of particles. So, near the edge of galaxies, there is a bigger large-scale gradient of other universe's matter, vs closer to the center of a galaxy.

I think math should follow a logical progression one divided into 2 that together become a unique 3rd. Like a premise and a related premise that yield a conclusion. The conclusion can become a premise and the logic is 1 premise plus another premise yeild a 3rd premise. I think such a system would help clear up a lot of glitches like PI and e.

    I think one of the problems we have when communicating scientific knowledge is semantics. Nothing in reality 'defies' anything. It just is what it is. Our knowledge is incomplete so when we try to explain something with it, then discover that the observation doesn't quite agree... It's because we are missing something, not because reality says, "I'm going to do it differently just to be awkward"

    Are they doing tons and tons of collision every day with different parameters, and put the data available to the researchers, that could find what they need? Does researchers have to make protocols first (if yes, how long does it take between the draft of the protocol and getting the results of the experiment)? How many collision per day are happening? All this kind of stuff :)

    I liked this presentation. Dark matter and dark energy are fascinating and incredibly important topics. Very recently, some physicists have theorized that there is an "anti-universe" out there, in which many of the "known" laws of physics run backwards. Some physicists even think that time runs backward in this "anti-universe." Some people think that this "anti-universe" is the source of dark matter and dark energy. I would love to hear what you think about this.

    Random thought:
    - Evidence for dark matter is based on seeing effects related to it's gravitational influence.
    - Gravitational force can be considered (equivalent to) an emergent property of time dilation, in a way
    - If one considers the universe as analogous to a simulation, one could consider mass as we know it plus a certain overhead to be the computational cost of a given planck length region of space. One could consider time dilation (and thus gravity) to be emergent from (or at least analogous to) a local computational bottleneck in the universe
    - If you can only interact with something via gravity... well essentially you can only interact with it via a local computational bottleneck... essentially like how much CPU resources you're taking from each other... and well that really sounds like a virtual machine situation doesn't it
    - So depending on the nature of dark matter, it may well be that searching for it could be considered akin to breaking out of a virtual machine into the host system to find out what the heck else is taking CPU resources
