What is Dark Matter, and Dark Energy?

Question

My question is concerning astrophysic

Answer 1

Dark Matter is hypothetical matter of unknown composition that does not emit or reflect enough electromagnetic radiation to be observed directly, but whose presence can be inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter.

Dark Energy is a hypothetical form of energy that permeates all of space and tends to increase the rate of expansion of the universe.

Answer 2

Energy if defined in terms of the product of the pressure exerted by Dark matter and the distance cubed that darkmatter (substance of space)moves, we have the Definition of" Dark energy."( This is my theoretical astrophysics formulation)
Dark matter is the Modern description of the Aether.
It could be referred as a massless particle since it is not visible and cannot be weighted,(a virtual granular mass).
Hence Dark Energy proves that the structure of space is basically a granular structure.

Answer 3

It was conjured up by shallow thinking physicists to balance their equations. Since formal education tends to strap people inside a box of conventional thinking, lashing them to the old, traditional ways, scholars tend to get caught up in it. Tesla and Einstein were thought to be nutcases in their day, because they were thinking outside the box. I realized this back in the 80's when I was getting my degree in engineering. The established status quo doesn't accept change very well, and they still haven't described gravity worth a hoot, since they haven't grasped the idea that matter folds up (absorbs) and stores space!

There isn't any need to invent the stuff. All one must do is think a little deeper: Matter is frozen energy, while energy is thawed matter. Matter absorbs space (we know that as "gravity"), energy releases that bound space in a particular wavelength fashion, depending on the type of energy it is. If physicists would realize that and apply it to their equations, dark matter and dark energy would cease to exist, except in history books as proof of man's ignorance in earlier times.

All one needs to do to understand how matter interacts with space is look at chemical reactions. Exothermic reactions (explosions) release space, while endothermic reactions always reduce the volume of the given mass (not the weight, just the density). Like a sponge soaks up water, matter "soaks up" space. Even the atom is mostly "empty" space, and that space can be pulled through. It's sort of like electricity, where one electron is picked up, but another one is knocked off to the next molecule, then a subsequent chain reaction occurs, with each adjacent molecule in the conductor doing the same, creating a current.

Distant galaxies appear to be moving apart because they emit energy, which is releasing space. Nearby galaxies are moving toward one another because their gravities (the absorption of space) affect each other, pulling the space between them towards each other. Physicists will eventually come to terms with this and recalculate their equations based on the net mass of each galaxy, its speed, and the total energies being emitted, which includes space "being released". Until they do, simply take all discussions about dark matter and dark energy with a grain of salt, realizing that the so-called experts using it don't know the answer because they are still inside their secure little boxes.

Even a "Big Bang Theory" fits the model of matter absorbing space. Since matter cannot be created or destroyed, an explosion occurred after all matter in the universe converged, and there wasn't enough space left to be absorbed. At that instant, as the matter tried to reduce itself to a singularity, it exploded, releasing much of that stored space. As long as there is energy being released, there will be "new" space being released, thus the universe expands. The real questions should be: "How much space can a given amount of matter absorb?", and "At what point does an energy's mass particle (photon) cease to release that trapped space?"... Good luck to all in your endeavors!

Answer 4

Dark Matter is the final boss in Kirbys Dream Land 2 :)

Answer 5

Dark matter is what cant be seen with a telescope. Dark energy can't be accounted for.

Answer 6

dark matter is real it explains why the expansion of the universe is accelerating.it is matter that is phased different from our own.with no electromagnetic force we cant touch see or feel it but its there.if you ever seen star trek think of it as cloaked matter.this is how parrell universes are able to exist.slap your hand on the table.when it stops its not because the atoms of your hand and table hit each other,its the electromagnetic force stopping you.if you could turn it off the atoms in hand would pass in between atoms of table,if that helps to understand.

Answer 7

poop. It's a dark matter and can be used as fertilizer so it's also a dark energy

Answer 8

We don't know for sure yet. It is just a theory.

Answer 9

Not known yet.
