Dark Galaxies

I recently found this article on the net, I find it rather interesting.

Galaxies that we can't see...

Dark Matter perhaps about to be proven af scientific fact.

I think that were have just touched the tip of the iceberg, unfortunaltey the may be great danger in touching the rest.

isn't dark matter just about everything that the light waves can't show cause not enough or too much time has passed?

No it is not, I posses no physics PH.d but I can refer to some sites which contains essays on the subject:

http://astron.berkeley.edu/~mwhite/darkmatter/dm.html
http://www.astro.queensu.ca/~dursi/dm-tutorial/dm2.html

This is of course if you believe that science holds all the answers...

Any idea whwat he meant about touching the rest?

Ron, whats up with the resurrecting of all these old threads?

Because they have not been resolved yet.

Dark Matter is something we don't fully understand or comprehend... Like black holes, we have many theories revolving around it, but without something up close to study and run tests on (which we can't even do safely with black holes), we have no way of knowing what it is.

Knowing what we know, "dark matter universes" could be the home to demonspawn, or something far worse and more sinister. They could be home to a "dark life form", the likes of which if it came into contact with us, would cancel both their existences and ours out altogether.

That's my theory as to what he pry meant by "touching the rest"...

The possibilities are about as endless as your imagination at this point.

But math and science might be able to narrow it down, given time. Stephen Hawking no longer proposes the Information Paradox because of math.

Understanding something is far better than ignoring it.

Fear usually stems from a lack of understanding... That which we don't understand, we tend to fear.

Until we can watch and see what tends to happen around dark matter, we can't even know as much about these "dark galaxies" as we do about black holes, which we can still only theorize about.

Which isn't as bad as it sounds... A scientific theory is generally held as a fact that simply cannot be proven by current conventional means. While the religious wackjobs out there can claim to try to dispute evolution as "just a theory", I'd like to see them dispute the theory of gravity, or of relativity. These, too, are still "just theories". Hawking's theory of black holes is the currently accepted one, and unless anything happens to violently shake that theory, it will probably remain that way.

Everything is a theory.

Until it is proven anyway.

Good luck with that

Random chance explains a lot.

Actually, I think that's what people say when something ISN'T explained.

Kolya · Post by **Kolya** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 12:11 am

Or can't be explained.

GhostSpider · Post by **GhostSpider** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 12:41 am

Or shouldn't be explained.

KonThaak · Post by **KonThaak** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 7:07 am

As far as I'm concerned, there is never anything that shouldn't be explained... There may be certain people who don't need to and shouldn't know certain truths and/or facts, but there is no reason not to search for answers to questions about the universe.

Yea I'm sticking with can't.

Ron Caliburn · Post by **Ron Caliburn** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 8:35 pm

So an alternate duplicate of us that could cancel us out?

Not like I haven't dealt with that sort of possibility before . . .

At least you've still got your sense of humour.

One of the few things that let me survive.

The universe, you must know, exists in a zero balance. For everything there must be an opposite, this is true of even the basic building blocks of matter, why not for the various forms of energy as well?

this thought dies make wonder if the Taoists had it rught all along thoug "there must be a balance for each action and thing in existance or all will fall apart"

GhostSpider · Post by **GhostSpider** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 9:28 pm

For every action, there is an equal, and opposite, reaction.
