Exploring the Possibility of Invisible Matter Existing in Different Dimensions

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of invisible matter in the universe and its potential existence in different dimensions. It is explained that dark matter is simply dark and cannot be seen, but its presence can be detected through its gravitational effects on visible objects. Additionally, there may be other forms of dark matter that are made up of sub-atomic particles.

Invisible matter...

since the universe is made up of mostly invisible matter, are they in different dimensions that's why we can't detect them?

such as some say the deads live in the same world that the livings live, except in a different layer or dimension?

No dark matter is just dark.
You can only see things if they reflect light (like planets) or light up themselves (like stars) a lot of the normal mass of the galaxy is dust, cool gas and low mass stars that we can't see because they are too faint.
In addition there may be other forms of dark matter that is made up of large number of sub-atomic particles.

We can detect the presence of this matter because it's mass has a gravitational effect on things we can see.
 

1. What is invisible matter?

Invisible matter, also known as dark matter, is a type of matter that does not interact with light and is therefore not visible to our current instruments and technologies.

2. How is invisible matter different from regular matter?

Invisible matter is different from regular matter because it does not emit or absorb light, making it impossible to detect through traditional methods. It is also believed to make up a much larger proportion of the universe than regular matter.

3. What is the evidence for the existence of invisible matter?

The evidence for the existence of invisible matter comes from various observations in astrophysics, such as gravitational lensing, galaxy rotation curves, and the cosmic microwave background radiation. These observations suggest that there is more mass in the universe than can be accounted for by regular matter, leading to the hypothesis of invisible matter.

4. What is the current research on exploring the possibility of invisible matter existing in different dimensions?

Scientists are currently using a variety of approaches to study the possibility of invisible matter existing in different dimensions. This includes experiments at particle accelerators, observations of galaxy clusters, and theoretical models based on quantum physics and string theory.

5. What are the potential implications of discovering invisible matter in different dimensions?

The discovery of invisible matter in different dimensions could have significant implications for our understanding of the universe and fundamental physics. It could help explain the nature of gravity, the formation of galaxies, and the structure of the universe. It could also open up new avenues for research and technology, such as energy production and space travel.
