Dark Matter: Waste or Unknown Substance?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of dark matter and its potential origins and implications. The initial poster questions whether dark matter could be a form of waste from supermassive black holes or even from another universe, suggesting that it might contribute to the expansion of our universe. They ponder if dark matter precedes the Big Bang or if it represents a "nothingness" being overtaken by the universe. Responses to these ideas emphasize the need for clarity and scientific grounding, pointing out that dark matter is not responsible for the universe's expansion and that assumptions about its properties and origins require more evidence. The conversation highlights the importance of basing discussions on established scientific knowledge rather than speculation, with a reminder that such speculative topics may not be suitable for the forum's guidelines.

Dark matter...Waste?

This may sound crazy (and probably is)...but.

From my understanding "dark matter" is an unknown substance (?) that comprises most of the space(?) between planets, stars and galaxies, in our known universe. From what I have read the universe does not have near enough atomic matter to explain such vast distances between galaxies. It seems also that "dark energy" is supposed to be an unknown force that is pushing the galaxies away from each other and expanding the universe.

My question(s) is thus.

Is our universe overtaking this "nothingness" and thus it preceded the Big Bang, and the momentum of our universe is overtaking more of this "nothingness"?

Or...Can dark matter be a form of waste, say from super giant black holes that have stripped all known physical properties from atomic matter, and light and is thus regurgitating or excreting this "stuff" back into the universe as an unidentifiable form of waste.

Could dark matter be a form of "waste" from another universe that is being "dumped' into our universe thus "blowing up the balloon" (expanding our universe).

If it has no atomic properties then where does it come from?

Did it precede the Big Bang as the "void" of nothingness?
Is our universe "eating itself"
Is something outside "eating our universe" and returning the remains in this form?
Is something outside eating something from outside and "dumping" it in our universe?

Is very perplexing.

Any ideas?

I apologize for any lack of clarity in the above questions.

Wow not even a whisper, a flame, or a comment.

I would have at least figured on a +1 for a post count increase from someone. :rolleyes:

Maybe my "Chinese" is a bit rusty? :biggrin:
 


I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you are saying.

Youd did say

"Could dark matter be a form of "waste" from another universe that is being "dumped' into our universe thus "blowing up the balloon" (expanding our universe)."

Which makes no sense. Dark matter is not expanding our universe.

Also you say:


"If it has no atomic properties then where does it come from?"

This makes no sense either, because you're assuming it doesn't have atomic properties, and you're assuming that if it doesn't have atomic properties, it has to come from somewhere other than our universe, or be some form of waste.

You should think things through before posting, and make sure you are very knowledgeble on the subjects.
 


Sorry, but your other thread was moved here because it was not about a specific science question.

No where on the forum is speculation of this sort allowed. If you can change this into a question without the personal speculation, you can ask the question in the appropriate science forum.

It is not allowed in GD.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
