Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of mass having latency and its implications for the residual effects of mass on space-time, particularly in the context of colliding galaxies. Participants explore whether this idea could lead to measurable effects, such as changes in dark matter over time.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant proposes that if mass has latency, it could create a measurable residual effect in space-time that diminishes over time, suggesting that colliding galaxies could be a test case for this idea.
  • Another participant expresses skepticism about the initial proposal, describing it as naive and questioning the author's background in physics.
  • A later reply acknowledges the lack of formal training in physics but asserts that the idea is still worth discussing.
  • Further questioning about the author's age and educational background indicates a challenge to the credibility of the initial claim.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus; there is skepticism about the initial idea, and the discussion includes challenges to the author's qualifications and understanding of the topic.

Contextual Notes

The discussion reflects varying levels of familiarity with physics concepts among participants, and there are no established definitions or frameworks for the idea of mass having latency.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in theoretical physics, cosmology, or the dynamics of galaxies may find the exploration of mass and its effects on space-time relevant.

if mass has a latency the residual dimple in space / time of a mass could have leave a measurable furrow that becomes shallower over time. you could check colliding galaxies to see if this is true, the 'dark matter' will dissipate.

your first post and you just joined today.

your comment strikes me as being very naive (for any number of reasons). How old are you?

old enough to know i don't have the math or science to ask the question better. but an idea is still an idea
 
what grade are you in? How much physics have you studied?
