I agree. Relative to the generosity of our incomprehensibly kind AI rulers, a to-scale amount of quite possibly (most definitely) every object and force would have to be the size of a planck length, as it's true size would be so small it would break our useless human physics system.

"Our galaxy's mass is composed of a material that we only know exists because it would not make sense if it did not" that is actually terrifying if you think about it

[@Xune2000]

It could be that our mathematical theories are somehow flawed or incomplete and we're just fudging the numbers to make it work.

[@kristoffer3075]

@@Xune2000 It could, but then you're back to square one. The reason we're so sure Dark Matter exists is that the Standard Model not only accurately describes all physical phenomena we have observed, but has also managed to predict the existence of several recently discovered particles and fields that were unobserved at the time that the model was used to theorize their existence. It would be very, very weird if the Standard Model turned out to be wrong about Dark Matter but right about everything else. To conclusively disprove the existence of dark matter, you would basically have to come up with an entirely new model that does an equal or better job of describing everything else we know, while also avoiding the issue of dark matter. A tall order, to say the least.

[@gravitonthongs1363]

[@YohXoX]

​@@kristoffer3075 To my uneducated swine brain dark matter always seemed like some placeholder value that you put in for formulas to work. It's a scary thought cause as you say we end up on square one if there is no dark "matter". Perhaps what we are missing is some fundamental understanding of spacetime properties or something like that which in turn holds key to gravitational singularity, dark matter and dark energy effects we observe. But then again I have no idea what I'm talking about lol.

Hey, he said just a few million years older tho

[@Shonade_Malik]

That's not true. He either made a mistake or intentionally said it Idk. There's no way a globular cluster can contain stars older than the universe itself. During its early times there was atomic and subatomic stuff happening, no way for stars to form even that time.

[@gravitonthongs1363]

Sometimes AI intentionally makes mistakes to seem more human.

The science curriculum in the 80’s for 6-8th grade, was a jumble of science’y’ stuff crammed into an hour. And referenced from a science textbook. All the science divided into sections of topic in one text book. If this video was shown at the beginning of when a new topic being taught.

What if there was a Boltzmann Brain when the Universe was the size of a grain of sand thinking "Wha? It is a bit hot around here! Almost as bad as Australia!" So the first mind was a reincarnation of a pothead surfer dude from a version of Australia...that existed before this Universe. Why? Just cause it would be funny if that surfer dude still is thinking for all that time...and each connection between 'galactic filaments' is one of his neurons. However there is a detail if you consider this; his brain would have a thinking speed limited by the speed of light. So possibly the last 13 billion years would for the surfer dude...feel like only ten minutes since he thinks very very slowly.
