Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the nature of dark matter, exploring whether it could be considered a form of waste or an unknown substance. Participants examine various hypotheses regarding dark matter's origins, its relationship to the universe, and its implications for cosmic expansion.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that dark matter might be an unknown substance that fills the vast spaces between celestial bodies and questions its origins and properties.
  • The same participant proposes that dark matter could be a form of waste from supermassive black holes, questioning whether it is being expelled into the universe.
  • Another hypothesis raised is that dark matter could be waste from another universe, contributing to the expansion of our universe.
  • In response, a participant challenges the initial claims, arguing that dark matter does not expand the universe and questioning the assumptions about its properties and origins.
  • Another participant notes that speculation of this nature is not permitted in the forum, suggesting that the discussion lacks a specific scientific question.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the nature and implications of dark matter, with no consensus reached on its properties or origins. Some participants challenge the speculative nature of the initial claims, while others continue to explore various hypotheses.

Contextual Notes

The discussion includes speculative ideas that are not grounded in established scientific consensus. There are unresolved assumptions regarding the properties of dark matter and its potential origins.

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.
