We have no idea what dark matter is, other than it’s some source of gravity that is completely invisible but exerts way more pull that all of the regular matter. More than all of the stars, all of the gas, all of the black holes…unless dark matter is black holes, then black holes are most of everything. Dark matter constitutes 80% or so of the mass in the universe, which means even our Milky Way galaxy is mostly a vast ball of dark matter that happens to have attracted a relative sprinkling of baryons-atoms in the form of gas, which lit up as starry glitter spinning in the middle of this invisible gravitational well.

Notice how there is a striking similarity between this theory, and your average Star Trek technobabble. It should raise red flags up the wazzoo! It is a conundrum of our times, that such smart people seem to turn off their inherent disbelief mechanisms, and choose to just follow the crowd, even when said crowd is following what is clearly gibberish! A form of matter that you can´t see, can´t measure, and can´t quantify, but because it fits the "model" then it has to be "real"? I would have thought that "magic" and "superstition" were left back in the dark days of the Dark Age! Get enough people to believe, and you can start a movement, that others will feel compelled to adhere to, even if your intellect tells you not to. Dark matter is the high IQ equivalent to Flat Earth. Just like the Big Bang. When you ask what caused that initial singularity to come into existence to start the Big Bang in the first place, they shake their heads and utter "LA LA LA LA" until you go away, implying that is was the will of a "supreme being", on a cosmic snap of the fingers! It´s technobabble of the highest order, i tells ya!

@@Biden_is_demented Observations and mathematical models are driving us into believing that such an invisible and "magic", as you call it, form of matter exists. Its not something totally made up. Science is not as "exact" as many people think. There is a lot of trial and error and a lot of theorizing. OK, dark matter may not exist, but just because something seems crazy and impossible doesn't mean that we should just give up and say "nah thats nonsense, lets move on". As we've seen countless times with modern scientific discoveries, things that once seemed insane and crazy now have changed our society fundamentally. Let me give you some examples. We use solar panels to convert light from the sun into a "magic" substance that flows through metal and can make your stove cook food. Solid state drives store data using the quantum tunneling effect, where particles(electrons in this case) passes through SOLID matter. Solid state drives are used in your smartphone, your computer and almost anything that stores data. Nuclear power plants can power ENTIRE cities for a day and consume an amount of uranium that could be held on your hand, while a coal or natural gas powered power plant would consume TONS AND TONS of matter. They work by splitting in half the building block of matter which is so incredibly small that you cannot comprehend it. The examples could go on. People many decades ago would find all these insane and crazy. But just because it seems crazy does not mean its could not be real. The universe works in unconventional ways. Also you did not provide any real argument to falsify the claims on dark matter. You simply called it magic and superstition. I could also say that about electricity. " how is it possible for an invisible substance to flow through a non-hollow fully SOLID metal wire and power electric motors that can make cars move at 100 kilometers an hour and make computing devices that can simulate extremely realistic enviroments and solve mathematical equations in mindblowingly fast speeds?". Yet its real and has totally changed our society.

If our mater is visible to them, they would have hypotesis and tehories on "shiny matter", and will think that their location is exeptionnal based on their observations, as we do too. They will have the advantage of knowing the structure of the dark mater, based on the observation of the region they can observe. They will know if the dark mater is mainly composed of black holes, particules, dead stars, or whatever. If our mater is not visible, and they can only see their own mater, they will have the same problem that us: why the univers seem more dense that we can observe ? That is, of course, if dark mater is mater... Maybe what we call dark mater is a distortion of gravity that is not link to any type of mater as we know it. Maybe space-time is distorded in way we fail to understand.

I'm currently studying about both these problems in college (the Too big to fail problem and the density diversity problem). One of the explanations for not seeing the sub halos is that in some of these ultra faint dwarf satellites their star formation stopped sometime during the epoch of reionization and therefore we receive much less amount of light from them. Either reionization or ram-pressure stripping could have pushed the gas out of those subhalos very efficiently. Although this "fix" isn't completely sufficient to solve the problem entirely it's one of the explanations why it could cause such variations.

There is a clear reason for the "missing mass". The answer has to do with what exists at the center of galaxies. Mainstream thought today is that singularities exist there. Most people don't know that Einstein said that singularities are not possible. In the 1939 journal "Annals of Mathematics" he wrote - "The essential result of this investigation is a clear understanding as to why the Schwarzchild singularities (Schwarzchild was the first to raise the issue of General Relativity predicting singularities) do not exist in physical reality. Although the theory given here treats only clusters (star clusters) whose particles move along circular paths it does seem to be subject to reasonable doubt that more general cases will have analogous results. The Schwarzchild singularities do not appear for the reason that matter cannot be concentrated arbitrarily. And this is due to the fact that otherwise the constituting particles would reach the velocity of light." He was referring to the phenomenon of dilation (sometimes called gamma or y) mass that is dilated is smeared through spacetime relative to an outside observer. "Time dilation" is one aspect of dilation. It's the phenomenon behind the phrase "mass becomes infinite at the speed of light". General Relativity does not predict singularities when you factor in dilation. Einstein is known to have repeatedly spoken about this. Singularities have always been a stubbornly persistent fictional term. Dilation will occur wherever there is an astronomical quantity of mass because high mass means high momentum. There is no place in the universe where mass is more concentrated than at the center of a galaxy. It can be shown mathematically that the mass at the center of our own galaxy must be dilated. In other words that mass is all around us. This is the explanation for the abnormally high rotation rates of stars in spiral galaxies. The "missing mass" is dilated mass. Einstein wrote about dilation occurring in "large clusters of stars" which is basically a very low mass galaxy. For a galaxy to have no/low dilation it must have very, very low mass. It has recently been confirmed in 5 very, very low mass galaxies to show no signs of dark matter. This is virtual proof that dilation is the source of the "missing mass", there can be no other realistic explanation for this fact. Dilation is the original and correct explanation for why we cannot see light from the galactic center.

i'm still not convinced an invisible particle is the key to everything. with each iteration, DM becomes weirder and weirder. I've always thought it doesn't have to be a "one theory fits all" situation, to me it seems a variation of MOND *plus* some invisible particle (or, more likely, *several* types of particles) will finally be the key. Once you modify the behaviour of gravity at ultra small accelerations, you don't need quite as much DM

I love it in my far future Sci Fi there is a whole periodic table of Dark Matter and then the future discovery of Invisible Matter that being particles that don't interact with anything in normal space even Gravity instead forming a second universe we can not easily observe. Then many different types of Dark and Invisible Energy. Allows massively faster than Causality scanning and communication example invisible fields that if you provide a equal amount of energy to them to transfer back to matter and energy they interact with you get a non gravity bound sensor or communication that can't be detected by the things it interacts with. Fun part back to the serious is maybe we are actually right now dealing with NIMP's instead meaning Non Interacting Particles. Then we might not be able to solve the Dark Matter problem for a very long time if at all having to accept they exists even though we can't find them.

Every time CDM is discussed I get more confused. not only about the how/why, but also about the scientific conduct surrounding this topic. I work in biomedical sciences, a different field of science, but the scientific principle is a pretty universal one and I have a lot of difficulty accepting CDM as being truly scientific. If I'd grow cells in a lab and they grow weird and my professor asks me which serum I use and I'd answer "don't worry, it's just 20% of the medium" he would tell me I'm an idiot and he would be totally right. It's a simplistic example perhaps, but I was flabbergasted to just learn that phycisists made this flaw in the simulations and that you are so forgiving about it in this video. Though I know/understand why you are, as these are your colleagues. I have always assumed normal matter was included, because that would make the most scientific sense and to my memory it was never mentioned that these were CDM-only w/o normal matter. Especially because the other 80% is so vaguely defined you'd definitely want to add the 20% of the mix which you know most about. If so, then you did an absolutely great job unveiling this. I'm not the first who argues it's strange scientific conduct to invent a particle, which is completely invisible, only interacts gravitationally, then tweak the parameters of this elusive particle in such a way that it fits observations again and then fully adopt its existence and validity. Then more particles with more assumptions are added into the mix and simulations, those also being tweaked based on...nothing?...no experimental validation or whatsoever. How's that scientific? I'm not surprised simulations show similarity with reality, as the simulation is biased by the same assumptions. This whole field of research on CDM seems to lean heavily on circular reasoning to me. We are being educated that a scientific theory is not just an idea as many think of when they hear theory. A (good) scientific theory not only describes reality, but also makes correct predictions. CDM does neither, for decades. I'm totally fine with the idea that I'm not a cosmologist, therefore it's likely way over my head and that I simply don't understand enough about it, but the scientific conduct of this whole field of science is so alien to me. I'd love to see a video which discusses the scientific argumentation and especially scientific validity for each step in the development of this model.

I remember learning in Physics history that is was commonly accepted that heat was a "thing" that flowed between objects rather that a property of the object itself. I've always drawn parallels between that and dark matter. I've always wondered about Dark matter just being regular old matter, maybe not as simple as a bunch of hydrogen atoms, but what about a "soup" of subatomic particles (Bosons, Hadrons, and Fermions) flying through space weakly interacting with more rigid atomic structures we can observe. I agree that inventing a new form of matter and then just tweaking it until it fits our observations is a bit backwards, however astrophysics does not have the luxury of the scientific method, there is no way to empirically test hypotheses, the best we can do if start with our observations and invent reasons for why that may be. I would really love for someone to tell me why dark matter could not be just regular old dispersed matter :)

I'm glad you touched on the gravitational coupling between dark matter and baryonic matter, and how baryonic matter acts as a third party mediator to communicate electromagnetic interaction. It's like dark matter can, in the presence of baryonic matter, interact with (influence) other matter. electromagnetic interaction with extra steps? The more dark matter you have, the more baryonic matter you'll gravitationally attract, which in turn gravitationally influences dark matter. The forces of interaction amongst baryonic matter will modulate gravitational effects felt by dark matter. In fluid mechanics we use can use field equations to describe fluids as a continuum when the Knudsen number is sufficiently small (the length scales of molecular integrations is small compared to the length scales of the flow that we're interested). This allows us to drastically simplify our calculations by replacing the need to consider molecular dynamics with a simple constitutive model of the fluid. In this case, i presume that dark matter can be treated as a continuum, defined by the local density and temperature, with the interactions due to gravity a function of the density. Is there a length scale that is large enough that we treat all baryonic matter as a continuum with a simple constitutive model? I can't imagine the need to simulate the dynamics of star formation, death, and supernova directly in these universe-scale models just to account for the gravitational influence of baryonic matter on dark matter. I assume that there is some statistical representation that would give a relationship for pressure, temperature, charge, internal energy, density, viscosity, etc of baryonic matter and we would have a set of governing field equations for the dark matter and the baryonic matter that would be coupled by way of gravitational interaction. Otherwise, the range of length and timescales required to couple dark matter and baryonic matter in single calculation seems like it would be as ridiculous as trying to simulate a 747 flying in icy weather using molecular dynamics. Is there a "Knudsen number" for baryonic matter at universe length scales where it can be treated as a continuous field and what would its constitutive model look like?

Yes, these simulations usually have millions or billions of different "particles" that represent dark matter, gas, stars, etc. For instance, a single gas particle's mass can be of millions of solar masses. Thus these simulations need to use algorithms that "create" stars, heat the gas, produce supernova feedback, etc. whenever certain conditions are met, because it is impossible to resolve these processes with the simulation's resolution. These "length" scales are basically the simulation's resolution.

I'm afraid dark matter does not exist at all. We're somewhere wrong about the nature of our Universe. But I'm a great fan of dark energy, which is hidden somewhere behind our regular matter. As soon as we understand dark energy, we can speculate on the nature of our Universe, thus putting everything together - light, energy, matter, gravitation, quantum, etc. Otherwise we are blind. And creating artificial realities. Nothing personal. I'm just not a fan of Multiverse either. Our Universe is fair enough for String Theory, probability, causality etc.

There is a clear reason for the "missing mass". The answer has to do with what exists at the center of galaxies. Mainstream thought today is that singularities exist there. Most people don't know that Einstein said that singularities are not possible. In the 1939 journal "Annals of Mathematics" he wrote - "The essential result of this investigation is a clear understanding as to why the Schwarzchild singularities (Schwarzchild was the first to raise the issue of General Relativity predicting singularities) do not exist in physical reality. Although the theory given here treats only clusters (star clusters) whose particles move along circular paths it does seem to be subject to reasonable doubt that more general cases will have analogous results. The Schwarzchild singularities do not appear for the reason that matter cannot be concentrated arbitrarily. And this is due to the fact that otherwise the constituting particles would reach the velocity of light." He was referring to the phenomenon of dilation (sometimes called gamma or y) mass that is dilated is smeared through spacetime relative to an outside observer. "Time dilation" is one aspect of dilation. It's the phenomenon behind the phrase "mass becomes infinite at the speed of light". General Relativity does not predict singularities when you factor in dilation. Einstein is known to have repeatedly spoken about this. Singularities have always been a stubbornly persistent fictional term. Dilation will occur wherever there is an astronomical quantity of mass because high mass means high momentum. There is no place in the universe where mass is more concentrated than at the center of a galaxy. It can be shown mathematically that the mass at the center of our own galaxy must be dilated. In other words that mass is all around us. This is the explanation for the abnormally high rotation rates of stars in spiral galaxies. The "missing mass" is dilated mass. Einstein wrote about dilation occurring in "large clusters of stars" which is basically a very low mass galaxy. For a galaxy to have no/low dilation it must have very, very low mass. It has recently been confirmed in 5 very, very low mass galaxies to show no signs of dark matter. This is virtual proof that dilation is the source of the "missing mass", there can be no other realistic explanation for this fact. Dilation is the original and correct explanation for why we cannot see light from the galactic center.

No, I think it's been hypothesized that every standard particle might have a dark counterpart; however, starting from some random number of dark matter components and then simulating every possible combination of properties they have is going to be much harder than forming one theory that describes the statistical mechanics of dark matter as a whole. Even if we found a combination of particles and properties that matched the data perfectly, we'd have to throw all of it out in favor of the properties they have as a whole, as that is the only thing that can be measured with certainty at the moment. Everything else would just be speculation. That being said it might be a good idea to try simulating mixtures of particles that are already predicted by other theories as dark matter candidates.

This requires galaxies to start it's effects. A small galaxy is like the dust packing. It shows up. Medium sized galaxy like more dark gravity shows up. Allowing massive things to pack. Then you have a 3rd version. Super Dark Gravity. This is the stuff that holds the WEB of galaxies together. Only shows up when enough galaxies pack in tight and it causes this version to appear and it allows that WEB throughout the universe. Stupid idea but sounded logical to me lol.

We have no idea how the structure inside of a black hole looks. Our models break down and produce impossible and unimaginable infinities. But even so, the black holes are most likely not decreasing entropy. Entropy is a measure of how difficult it is to describe a state of a closed system. And not only it is very unlikely that matter in black holes becomes highly ordered, but due to the predicted effects of Hawking radiation, that matter is burned and radiated away later in a super chaotic manner. Meaning we're almost certain that black holes increase entropy just like every other physical process.

Alternate theories of gravity aren't anything new, people have even used them to try and explain away dark matter before - the problem is that dark matter isn't uniformly spread across the universe and we've observed galaxies with hardly any dark matter, and other galaxies that are almost entirely dark matter. That's where modified theories of gravity fall apart - they start failing to make accurate predictions about such galaxies, when if it was an accurate theory of how gravity works it should make accurate predictions about all galaxies and not just galaxies that have average amounts of dark matter. It's also just unlikely we've got gravity that wrong considering how accurate the predictions we can make using that theory - like using the theory of gravity scientists were able to predict that black holes would exist decades before we had the technology to confirm they did in fact exist.

Dark matter isn't a hypothesis, it's merely what we call the source of the extra gravity we can observe out in the universe. What is a hypothesis is the potential explanations for what dark matter actually is - like dark matter being weakly interacting massive particles is a hypothesis that hasn't been demonstrated. But the fact that dark matter (unexplained sources of gravity) exists is not a hypothesis - you can run an experiment to confirm that unexplained sources of gravity do or do not exist, and we've done those experiments repeatedly and made the same observations that they do exist. That's just not a hypothesis anymore when you have that level of evidence.

@@palladium1083 Dark matter is just a name - it doesn't necessarily mean that it's matter. I think you're just getting hung up on the name of these phenomenon as though they are attempting to describe the cause of the phenomenon when it's simply a name for the phenomenon itself. In your head just replace the words "dark matter" with "unexplained source of gravity" and "dark energy" with "unexplained source of energy causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate". If you think scientists are ruling out the possibility that dark matter is something other than matter you're just wrong - plenty of scientific research has been done trying to offer alternate explanations for dark matter which don't involve it being matter, they are just less accurate at making predictions than the explanation that dark matter is some type of weakly interacting massive particle.

Another short message about thermodynamics you said that cold matter moves slowly. Under the law of thermodynamics only heat moves to fill the void of the cold to bring it to a moderate temperature

I still think dark matter is time either moving faster or slower in different gravity wells. I won't be sold on the opposite.

And I don't mean like the young-earth variety, some of these people seem rather scientistic until you mention DM or DE and then they throw the scie3ntic method out the windows and act no different the alt-fact-ers. Anyway, just watching this entire video silenced a lot of their (non-)points, but maybe a video directed at this nonsense would be helpful.

I haven't seen any one such "anti-sciencer" here; plenty of people critical of DM and how its research is conducted - but not a single call for the overthrow of science as such. As for the unnecessary dig at creationism, I'll have you know that most creationists with scientific degrees nowadays have probably put more thought on this than you ever did - you're just parrotting diatribes you were socially conditioned to - and ironically enough, you're likely to approach the arguments with the same closemindedness of the people you're criticizing here. Fundamentalism is not exclusive to religion, as so happens.

Have you guys been using some new audio processing... thing for the last month or two? It makes it sound like the host is speaking directly into a close mic, but there's some odd audio artifacting going on, too. I've noticed this on a couple other RU-vid channels I'm subscribed to, too.

You should consider El Gordo much like it's a compound lens system with a weak foreground field and a local condensing lens. Lensing patterns often have uniquely reduced divergences growing over distance, they can seem dissociated positionally from primary lenses. A single simple lensing mass is not particularly good at reconverging, let alone mirror-like reversing with doubling. With a compound lensing system one can imagine a removable screen in front of a secondary lens viewed beyond focus distance. Adding a rippled lens simplifies a lot of things, including explaining mirror-doubled near-parallel flat lensing image arcs, using radially-oriented projections for ripple-spanning galaxies seen edge-on.

Been a long time since I watched a vid here. Thrilled about the title. Let‘s see what it has in store :) My believe before watching is that they won’t ever find a dark matter particle. I think it‘s more a lack of understanding on gravity. In direction of mond, but not Mond either.

The problem with modified gravity is that the observed effect doesn't strongly correlate with baryonic mass. When you have gravitational lensing where there's no visible matter, and galaxies that don't show signs of extra mass, it doesn't really work for a misunderstanding of gravity.
