The discussion centers on the implications of discovering that dark matter emits non-electromagnetic radiation traveling at a constant velocity of c times pi. If validated, such a discovery would necessitate a fundamental reworking of existing physical theories, as it would challenge the current understanding of the laws of physics. The conversation emphasizes the rarity of actual discoveries in this domain, suggesting that initial announcements may often stem from measurement errors rather than genuine breakthroughs.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, astrophysicists, and researchers interested in the nature of dark matter and its potential impact on fundamental physics.
Ontophobe said:What would be the ramifications of discovering that a) dark matter radiates something non-electromagnetic, and that b) this radiation always travels at a constant velocity according to all inertial reference frames, but c) this constant velocity is equal to, say, c times pi?
