SNOLAB: Inside the Dark Matter Lab Buried Over a Mile Underground 

Thousands of dead skin flakes and spit particles from talking flying everywhere. Dark Matter: you "scientists" never learn, do you?

no no, me no can exist

Farts are dark matter unless a Canadian has a Visa Card.

Ah man!You made the greatest discovery of all times...Scientists will now realise what they are missing to take a note deep down there...Why the hell would someone fart in such a serene envoirnment...You got no chill man...😂😂😂

Also, he had an assistance names something Pink?

Unfortunately they never said HOW we know dark matter exists, and its really not that hard to conceptualize. We measure a galaxy's apparent mass, if the spiral arms/area of observation in the galaxy is moving faster than the apparent mass, there is dark matter there causing more gravitational force, which means more "acceleration". Other than observing how mass gets moved on a large scale like that, we've got nothing. So get to thinking!

@@OriginalDingus Thanks to your apparent brilliance, it's now conceptually understood HOW we know. Someone get Dingus a Nobel!

@@OriginalDingus Unless the law's of mass is that objects with mass are effected by neighboring mass. When large amounts occupy a confined area they could have unknown effects other than gravity.

xanderdoesgames whehe ouch

You mean 666 Lab. If your a fan of the Devil's work that's on you. But pay attention, these wicked men are not for any of us. This technology nowdays is not for our benefit in any way. The black Magick which they create in these places are to serve the Devil and these demonic entities.

Ankit Singh while the situation is faaaaaaar more nuanced than that, I'll tell you this, those wars are inefficient, and could very have ended far sooner had some people grown some balls and either invaded entirely or just up and left ;either way would have either ended in peace or complete destabilization of the region, just shortening it to a couple years instead of decades, that is the reason for the endless war, if it ends it gives one side too much of an advantage over the other I'm of course referring to the US vs Russia situation, if Russia wasn't involved, this situation would have been over years ago, and if the US left then this would have ended but the US does need the oil in the region to function or they are going to have to tap into other reserves which at the moment the public will not allow, so the US leaving is kinda not an option, Russia can't really leave because then the US will have so much influence over the planet that their(Russia) very way of life is threatened in the long run, the endless wars have a reason to exist, it is not merely for money, may I also say that the US military has a shit ton of money put into R&D and have developed very impressive stuff that will be very useful commercially in a couple years, the main point I'm making is that those wars exist because they leap to end game for some countries, and at the same time is forcing the military to accelerate their research efforts, meaning that while people are dying atleast technology will be more advanced because of it. It's not a good situation and should end but how can you end it when it almost secures a failure due to further escalation of hostilities. Holy shit sorry for the wall of text

Xenon Zenith it does not require a war to have a technological advancement and almost all the time war is justified to proliferate one's political agenda. I also appreciate things done by US military complex to develop new technology but we respect NASA for it's contribution more than them to tbh

Once gaining an edge over the enemy becomes the top priority, I assure you, progress will ensure. We either need to think as a whole civilisation or be in constant war, the former being preferable

Ankit Singh NASA's efforts were primarily because of the national security threat it posed if the Soviets could put satellites in orbit and we couldn't. And the geopolitical threat if we were perceived by the rest of the world as behind the Soviets, creating the potential to sway more neutral parties to the Sovirt bloc. Also most of the companies that built NASA's hardware were part of that industrial complex and would not have the same level of skill, experience, and resources otherwise. The US military is responsible for a lot of tech its own right too. Most notably, GPS and internet(ARPANET), which both originated for military applications before they were used civilian side. Plus, how much tech could you develop if you have no military and a belligerent nation like say Russia or China could easily boss you around or just steal the tech (or the scientists themselves) by force?

War is more profitable than science sadly

Well, they said Dark matter is very hard to find. It was to be xpected that there wouldn't be any results. I'd expect it to take at least 10 years or more until we get any specific results that would let us research Dark Matter propperly.

I would laugh except that all this dark matter goose chasing is wasting tax dollars on useless shit and not on important things like job creation, healthcare and education.

Kind of reminds me of the line... "I like to work at nothing all day" from the song, "Taking Care of Business" by BTO :)

@@Johnny_Nitro - Oh but just wait... (should they actually find it) I'm sure the discovery will more than pay back all the costs of the project and also provide a great return on investment straight back to the people/taxpayers at double+ the rate it was extorted/stolen :)

I'd say their explanation for 'why' was also not satisfactory.

They use those 6-foot tall tubes to fill with super-heated C3F8 in order to see if any dark matter particles interact with the fluid and cause bubbles to form.

kek did you know of snolabs existence? Its purpose? All the awesome experiments going on in there? Just because they had no results doesn't mean you can't learn something from it. I'm now aware of these people's fantastic efforts, and will seek more information about them, especially when they discover something remarkable.

lol so you want these scientist to be working in tiny cozy compact rooms? They built snolab that big so it can accommodate more, and larger experiments down the road; making it bigger isn't exactly as easy as throwing up a new wall. They're not bribing the government for money, they get grant's because the government recognizes the need for research and rewards people who put forth the effort. Snolab is a laboratory for any researcher who needs a super isolated test environment. that is all sno lab is. The awesomeness that goes on in there is up to the people who rent out the space and put up the experiment. My original comment was about how this video actually provided some content.

yeah for sure,I live within hours of this place,I wonder if they let me visit if I promised to take a really clean shower and only wear new clothes for the Tour?

Lol underated comment!! 😂

That's awesome, how did you get picked???!

Hu great work are you single?

This is a semantic point. You ever consider that perhaps in this context observe means to see visually or with an analog comparable to sight. Why does it even matter? The observation of the effect does not demonstrate that it is "dark-matter" only that the effect is present. See a ripple on the surface of a pond is not the same as observing the fish underneath. The wind could have just as easily caused it. Dark matter is only a hypothesis that seeks to explain the effect. It could be that aliens are actually holding galaxies together. It could be our calculations of the mass of the supermassive black holes in the center of galaxies are actually way off. I personally imagine it might be something like spacetime having features akin to gravitational hills and valleys. Anyways~ Don't be so uptight.

@@Mia-ln1zs: Semantics are extremely important in science. If you think the method of observation doesn't matter, then you would make a shitty scientist.

@@deusexaethera This video isn't a scientific paper. I don't know if you noticed? Comparing the building to Los Vegas wasn't technically accurate either. Did she mean a casino? A particular building?... The whole city?! When I said, "Why does it even matter?" I didn't mean that the method of observation was irrelevant. It was a segway into the next segment. The presence of these gravitational phenomena is evidence of the phenomena. Not the hypothesis that attempts to explain them. So when you said, "We _can_ observe dark matter -- it interacts via the gravitational force!" You are technically incorrect. Dark matter is only an attempt at explaining the observation. Rather than the observation being evidence of the explanation. I knew you were going to be like this chill. I just think you're splitting hairs. I'm not trying to call you an idiot or anything. This just seems like a waste of energy, and it's not quite correct. Given the video context. The term observe was used correctly. It doesn't matter that you have a different more rigid definition. You clearly understood what they meant.

@@Mia-ln1zs: You're right, it's not a scientific paper, it's a RU-vid video -- which means 1.3 million people have watched it as of today, more people than would ever read any scientific paper ever written. Most of those viewers will take the video's content as reasonably factual and authoritative because it is presented as such. That's why it's important to get things right when discussing them in casual media, because otherwise millions of people will misunderstand the things being discussed. In particular, the reason I'm irritated about _this_ misconception is because I've encountered plenty of people who think dark matter is purely hypothetical because it's "never been observed". So to re-iterate: When someone says we can't observe dark matter, they are wrong -- we _can_ observe dark matter, we just can't _see_ it via reflected light the way we're used to seeing things. But dark matter, or something which is mathematically identical to dark matter, is absolutely real and observable even if we don't know everything about it.

Spoiler alert: johns fart still stinks, now it's a quarantine zone.

You know, not finding anything is also finding something, another way that didn't work.

Assumptions about what they call dark matter don't make any sense. It could just as well have a negative mass and be located in different zones of 3D space that we think.

Why are we funding things like this when we could be funding research that could prove more useful to us?
