Dark Matter Hunters: A Quantum View of the Invisible Universe

Dark matter, which makes up 85% of the matter in the Universe, remains one of the greatest mysteries in physics. A team of scientists are using ground-breaking developments in quantum technology to hunt for hypothetical dark matter particles in new ways.
This film is based on research by the QSHS & QUEST-DMC consortiums, more info here:

Just got to know the channel. One more subscriber. Great video, by the way! Greetings from Brazil 🤘🏻🪨

[@hamsterproductionsofficial]

Greetings and welcome to the channel! 👋😃

[@beckywilson1550]

He came back edit when will we see the castle film

[@tozboz1018]

with both a beard, brain, and a brilliant music taste

[@Qui-GonJinn1234]

Very interesting

[@SystemicCreative]

Love this 🎉

[@hamsterproductionsofficial]

Cheers Andrew! Glad you liked it 😁

Good video

The fundamental phenomenon of dilation explains galaxy rotation curves/dark matter. Mass that is dilated is smeared through spacetime relative to an outside observer. It's the phenomenon behind the phrase "mass becomes infinite at the speed of light". A 2 axis graph illustrates its squared nature, dilation increases at an exponential rate the closer you get to the speed of light. A time dilation graph illustrates the same phenomenon, it's not just time that gets dilated. Neil deGrasse Tyson recently spoke about this.
Dilation will occur wherever there is an astronomical quantity of mass because high mass means high momentum. This includes the centers of very high mass stars and the overwhelming majority of galaxy centers.
It can be inferred mathematically that the mass at the center of our own galaxy is dilated. This means that there is no valid XYZ coordinate we can attribute to it, you can't point your finger at something that is smeared through spacetime. More precisely, everywhere you point is equally valid. In other words that mass is all around us.
Dilation does not occur in galaxies with low mass centers because they do not have enough mass to achieve relativistic velocities. It has been confirmed in 6 very low mass galaxies including NGC 1052-DF2 and DF4 to have no dark matter, in other words they have normal rotation rates. All binary stars have normal rotation rates for the same reason.

I like your funny words, magic man

[@TheGrievousReviews]

Excellent video, my childhood hero!

[@albond]

Interesting stuff! I particularly like the animation of the standing wave

[@hamsterproductionsofficial]

Thanks! Those round quarter tiles were perfect for animating the photons 〰

[@p1glinking694]

This is better when something is explained with Lego Great and love it

[@hamsterproductionsofficial]

Thank you! If only everything in life could be explained with LEGO... 😮‍💨

[@ErikTongStudios]

Wow God has create such a complex universe, thanks for this!

[@thekiplingcats5595]

When is the new stop motion?

[@hamsterproductionsofficial]

All in good time! 🏰 Links in the description for more updates 👀

[@user-oe7ub7du5p]

Bro when can we see the stop motion ?

[@hamsterproductionsofficial]

Check out the links in the description for updates on my next stop motion 🏰😁

[@MrOnionman]

Can I ask how the castle stop motion is going?

[@hamsterproductionsofficial]

It's going very well 😁 Check my social media / Patreon for updates! (Links in description)

[@DerinUcer-rd6pd]

Love it

[@hamsterproductionsofficial]

Glad you like it Derin, and thanks for all your support! 🤩

[@TrisBricks]

where is your castle stop motion😢

[@hamsterproductionsofficial]

It's coming along nicely! 🏰 Check out the links in the description for more updates 👀

[@TrisBricks]

@@hamsterproductionsofficial ok nice

[@MunciMunci]

Can we get a Kraken video sequel?

[@hamsterproductionsofficial]

Let's say for now I am working on a "spiritual successor" to the Kraken 👀

[@VineFynn]

Physics receives too much money imo

[@kriegerproductionsofficial]

Because Dark Matter interacts with gravity, it must have mass. Could it not therefore interact with our sense of touch?

[@hamsterproductionsofficial]

Dark matter does have mass, and therefore a gravitational attraction, but these effects are far too weak and spread out for us to ever register it as touch 👉🌌

[@kriegerproductionsofficial]

@@hamsterproductionsofficial Ah, for the same reason we can't feel individual atoms. That makes sense.
