Dark matter does not conduct sound as it is pressure-less and does not interact with normal matter except through gravity. The discussion highlights misconceptions about dark matter, emphasizing that it has mass and is not merely a "potential for mass to exist." Participants clarify that while particles exhibit wave-like properties, they are not simply waves, and the concept of force is distinct from fields. The Higgs field is noted as the source of mass for particles, rather than the Higgs boson itself. Overall, the conversation underscores the complexities of dark matter and the need for accurate scientific understanding.
