Dark Matter is baryonic matter passed through a black hole?

In summary, dark matter is a type of matter that can't be seen but is inferred to exist due to its gravitational effects on visible matter. It is believed to be composed of baryonic matter that has passed through a black hole and become invisible. Scientists use various methods to indirectly detect dark matter, and they believe it passes through black holes based on calculations and observations. This theory helps explain the abundance of dark matter and its elusive properties. When baryonic matter passes through a black hole, it becomes invisible due to intense gravitational forces and emits high-energy radiation.

Wouldn't this explain why galaxies with no black holes are so small?

From what I've learned, the black hole doesn't lose mass, that which it captures it keeps, i.e. nothing is "passed through".

No, that doesn't even make sense. You would do well to read some basic cosmology plus study the Standard Model.

No, and since this concept isn't found anywhere in mainstream science as far as I know, thread locked.
 

1. What is dark matter?

Dark matter is a type of matter that cannot be directly observed through electromagnetic radiation, but it is inferred to exist due to its gravitational effects on visible matter. It is thought to make up about 85% of the total matter in the universe.

2. How is dark matter related to baryonic matter?

Baryonic matter is the type of matter that makes up the visible universe, including atoms and other particles. Dark matter is believed to be composed of baryonic matter that has passed through a black hole and become invisible due to the extreme gravitational forces.

3. Can dark matter be detected?

Dark matter itself cannot be detected, but its effects on visible matter can be observed through its gravitational pull. Scientists use various methods, such as measuring the rotation of galaxies, to indirectly detect the presence of dark matter.

4. Why do scientists believe that dark matter passes through black holes?

Scientists have proposed the theory that dark matter is baryonic matter that has passed through a black hole based on calculations and observations. This theory helps to explain the abundance of dark matter in the universe and its mysterious properties.

5. How does the passing of baryonic matter through a black hole make it invisible?

When baryonic matter passes through a black hole, it is subjected to intense gravitational forces that cause it to be compressed and heated to extremely high temperatures. This results in the matter emitting high-energy radiation, making it invisible to traditional methods of detection.
