Are Dark Matter Oscillations Possible Like Atomic Vibrations?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the concept of atomic oscillation in relation to dark matter, questioning whether dark matter exhibits similar oscillatory behavior. Participants note that while atomic vibrations indicate energy, the current understanding of dark matter suggests it consists of individual particles that do not vibrate in the same way. Speculation about dark matter's properties is cautioned against due to the limited knowledge available in physics. It is emphasized that dark matter interacts gravitationally and may possess zero-point energy, but definitive conclusions remain elusive. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for further research to clarify the nature of dark matter.

Hi everyone, i was thinking this.
I saw in here someone said that, our heads atoms are osscilating with high frequency than feet. Since aftee seeing it, i was thinking if every atom osscilating, is that dark matter are not osscilating?

What do you think?

Why would it matter if it oscillates or not?

Everything oscillates , the movement of elementary particles is rather a sign that they have some energy.
When you remove heat from some material or liquid after a while it reaches a thing called absolute zero ofcourse there is nothing zero about absolute zero because it is about 273 degrees below the everyday know zero on our thermometers it just happens to be the calculated temperature at which the motion and oscillation of particles stop.

But just like Zapper said it doesn't matter if it oscillates or not , it probably does but we have not much clues about that thing in physics right now where we stand so it would be a mere speculation or a good night story.
 
Since nobody knows what dark matter is, it would be a good idea to hold off speculation until we learn more about it than we so far observe so far.
 
Atoms and molecules have components, so they vibrate with respect to each other. Very little is known about dark matter, but current thinking is that it consists of individual particles - no vibration.

No "vibration" in the sense of motion of charged particles about oppositely charged particles, but it always has some momentum if you have any idea where it is. Dark matter orbits gravitationally, and no matter how "cold" a darkon is, there will always be some zero-point energy unless it is spread throughout all space. Heisenberg.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
