Uncovering the Mystery of Dark Matter: Theory and Evidence Explained

AI Thread Summary
Dark matter is supported by evidence indicating insufficient ordinary matter to account for the gravitational binding of galaxies and galactic clusters. Dark energy, observed about a decade ago, relates to the accelerating expansion of the universe. The discussion includes a request for collaboration on a conceptual model that could explain these phenomena without extensive mathematical background. The user seeks feedback on their ideas and clarification on the term "spreading of cosmological objects." Overall, the conversation highlights the ongoing exploration of dark matter and energy theories.

Can someone explain to me if there is any evidence besides the spreading of cosmological objects behind dark matter/energy? Because I have a pretty solid theory that could explain that without anything beyond relativistic physics.

I've got quite a few solid ideas, but I don't have access to academia, so I have to reach out via the internet to get feedback from others.

I don't want to go into details, but I have a conceptual model worked out as far as I can go without heavy number work, and I'd rather find a trained partner than spend ten years learning the math.

I don't know what you mean by "spreading of cosmological objects".

However, the evidence for dark matter is there is far too little ordinary matter to hold galaxies or galactic clusters together. The idea has been around for quite a while.

For dark energy, the evidence was first observed about ten years ago and has to do with the apparent speedup of the universe expansion. This may be what you had in mind.
 
Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.
