Pyramids, dark matter & the Big Bang theory - What’s holding our universe together? | DW Documentary

Without elementary particles, there’d be no X-Ray machines, no Internet and no electricity. Because some elementary particles penetrate matter without destroying it, they’re a boon for scientific and medical applications.
But have all the elementary particles been discovered? Researchers are endeavoring to answer that question. They’re decoding the protein structure of viruses or showing us cavities in the Egyptian pyramids. If scientists at the research center German Electron Synchroton (DESY) succeed in sending light particles through matter, this could provide evidence for a new, as yet undiscovered elementary particle. Why is this important? We still don’t know what ca. 85 percent of the matter in the universe consists of. We call it dark matter. Solving this mystery won’t just tell us what’s holding the world together at its core, it’ll also explain the glue that’s holding the entire universe together. Prof. Christian Schwanenberger and other leading scientists take us to DESY in Hamburg and the European Organization for Nuclear Research to see the tunnels and laboratories and observe the relevant field studies. The film also tells the story of particle physics and the key discoveries of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen and Peter Higgs.

Since the inception of the Nobel Prize in 1901, no Nobel Prize has ever been revoked. Once awarded, the prize remains intact. The Statutes of the Nobel Foundation explicitly state that no appeals can be made against the decision of a prize-awarding body regarding the award of a prize. This policy applies to all Nobel Prizes, including those in Physics, Chemistry, Literature, Peace, and Physiology or Medicine. Alan Guth, Georges Lemaître, Edwin Hubble and their theories are safe. Their theories and concepts, are clearly in need of more than a minor rethink however.

Does time have more than one dimension? We can define "back" and "forward" in time. But can we define "up", "down" "right", "left", or even "inside" and "outside"?

[@jinfin221]

Isn't time a dimension in itself?

[@TheSubpremeState]

Time isn't real obviously. There's NOW and there's clocks. People talk of time passing as if it was some kind of wind 😂. Events occur. That doesn't mean time caused them to occur. Do we speak of miles as real when we take a long journey. Would we study miles?

[@ChantsLirox]

It has been shown there is no universal “now” - due to gravity and the fixed speed of light. But closer to home time becomes more relative (so to speak) as cause and effect, learning and living, life in a Newtonian cage is hinged on the passing of time, regardless of any opinion.

[@toni2918]

I think spacetime is more accurate in describing the dimension where there is an “up”, “down”, “right”,”left” as relates to “time”. I read Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time and it helped me understand that time and space are linked so closely that if you travel quickly through space, you can theoretically travel through time, depending on different observers who have different frames of reference. Look up time dilation, and theory of relativity too. It’s fascinating.

My Model For The First Events in the Beginning of the Universe. (From left to right) 1. Singularity before the Big Bang was eternal photons. 2. Big Bang was a release of photon energy. 3. Photons through pair conversion, created space time; and both the fundamental particles and first atoms of hydrogen and helium. 4. The universe temperature continued to drop until the annihilation phase when all free electrons (e-) and positrons (e+) not in atoms, began to annihilate and turn into pure energy. 5. This massive universe wide conversion of mass to energy caused the inflation phase. This model suggests my answers to these physics questions. Q. What was the singularity that started the Big Bang? A. Eternal photons outside of space and time. Q. Where did the anti matter go? A. It went into the protons and neutrons. Protons have 2 positrons and one electron. Neutrons have 1 proton and one electron. Q. Why did inflation happen? A. When the temperature fell low enough, free electrons and positrons annihilated in a universal wide explosion of energy that created the inflation period. *** The Big Bang singularity produced a zoo of waves. So which ones lasted? Most compatible waves formed atoms, molecules, etc (or the most neutral didn't react with anything) while the rest decayed. That is important clues to every aspect of physics. That is a physics natural selection. More psy phy physics from a sci-fi writer.

[@mykofreder1682]

An important thing is the mixing interfaces between internal and external gravitation backgrounds that causes lensing in the worst case, it could have strength in that interface. You could image such a nonvisible interface with gravitation exiting the core of a galaxy and incoming from the surrounding background. If pressure develops internally the arms would be path of least resistance and would link them to the body of the galaxy through a common internal background, gradually instead of abruptly reaching external background as you go down the arm. The arm would be a way to vent internal gravitational pressure like a heat sink on a computer chip. If that interface has any strength to not allow the external background in, it could be the thing keeping galaxies arms in sync with the central rotation.

Ok! Here it is! Why are we looking for a particle when we don't even fully understand the physics of black holes or the quantum world. Maybe the answer is simple, it comes from the relationship between black holes being centrifuge to galaxies, a field of power generation unmeasurable by human calibration. Almost like an anti-matter of sorts.

[@TomHendricksMusea]

The Curvature of Space May Be Caused by Anti Gravity, Not Gravity. The curvature of space is now defined as this: Massive bodies, like planets, have gravitational fields around them that causes light or any matter to travel in curved paths around them. My suggestion is that the expanding space caused by dark energy, an anti gravity like force, causes light or matter to travel in curved paths around massive bodies. Therefore it's not gravity causing curved space, but the anti gravity force, dark energy causing curved space. The expanding force of dark energy is 70% of the universe and by far the greatest force in the universe. It pushes and expands everywhere in space. But it is weakest where there is massive bodies; because, there is no empty space there to push back from! The dark energy drops off significantly near massive bodies. This dark energy pushes or expands from all sides. But there is little dark energy pushing back between the planet and a passing photon, or matter of any kind. That's where dark energy is the weakest. Therefore any photons or matter of any kind that is nearing a planet are pushed by dark energy toward the planet. They are pushed toward it from empty space, not pulled toward it because of gravity. The expanding force of dark energy between any planet and a photon is weak and weaker the closer the two objects are to each other. This is the opposite of gravity. See drawing. When the photon traveling from left to right approaches the planet, dark energy striking the planet from all sides is much greater than the weak amount of dark energy between the photon and planet. This causes the photon to be pushed toward the planet in a curved path. This helps explains an alternate reason for the curvature of space. This suggests curvature of space is caused by dark energy.

Time is the key to a lot of things we don’t understand. IF an explosion is powerful enough, and if material was expelled faster than the speed of light, which i believe is also the speed of time, this material would disappear. I get that things like light cannot naturally and unassisted travel faster than time as any particle doing so would no longer exist in this time dimension. it makes sense this would not happen easily. However matter with the assistance of explosive propulsion could leave this time dimension which is exactly what I believe dark matter is, matter that was expelled in an explosion, maybe the Big Bang, beyond the speed of time/light. This matter still exist, you can detect it, you just cant see it. Think of a black hole in the same light, pun intended. I believe what stops light at the event horizon is time has actually been put in reverse. This would mean a black hole is indeed a portal to another dimension. A black hole is literally a door to the past.
