What is Dark Matter and Dark Energy?

What is dark energy? What is dark matter? Well, if we knew exactly we would have a nobel prize - we know that they exist though. So what do we know about those strange things?

I’m a junior in high school, and am currently doing a lot of college tours. Physics is an interesting field and my current first choice for major. This spring break, I have the chance to meet with a world leading professor/researcher in the field of dark matter. I’m super excited and am trying to watch more videos on the concept itself in order to be better prepared. This was super interesting and helpful! Thanks!

[@omri9252]

That's amazing! good luck

[@kellyy8735]

okay update. It was really cool. I got a run down of the subject since all I knew was what this video told me. I got to check out some really cool technology being made to sense these dark matter particles (which is his specific field of study - discovering a way to detect the particles) and even check out some of the labs. It was a super cool experience, and in the end I met with another lady to discuss the career plan and class scheduling for college if physics was my major, which i’m currently planning on it to be.

@@kellyy8735 super excited for you. I can barely wrap my mind around physics but it’s fascinating.

[@BuzziMuzzi]

@@kellyy8735that’s amazing you had an experience some dream to have! (Like myself). I did not choose Physics as a major back in the day because I wasn’t good with math but with KZbin existing and the lectures they have I’ve realized it’s not just about the math. Physics is in a way very philosophical. Einstein himself wasn’t good at math. And so I would’ve chosen the major now. Good luck it’s an infamously hard major and a lot of math but don’t get stuck on just the maths. As you see there’s so much still unanswered and we require creative minds that literally can think beyond the classical understanding of our reality to lead us to new findings in physics!

Albert "PROBABLY" spent a lot of his limited time alive triyng to solve a problem while turning a blind eye for a directly impactfull cientific discovery. imagine i fe had embraced it, what would his genious mind come up with. mabye nothing, mabye many more. (i used the word "PROBABLY" this way enforcing the idea that for that example: Newton thought he had the universe figured out, and for decades all other cientists thought too, until Einstein proved them wrong) its astonishing and unmesurable the beauty of human discovery i hope i made a nice contribution to your day and ideas. sorry for my bad english

Been reading some quantum physics books. Penrose put out this concept of collapsing/variable wave functions of particles in relation to their distance with mass and gravity. Made me think. Perhaps Space time itself as a medium has a “resolution” that becomes more defined as mass increases. So as you approach areas of mass like a galaxy, space time becomes more constrained. As light pours into empty space without any resolution outside the galaxy, it expands space as its wave function increases to a higher probability.

Do you know what a lightyear is? A light year is the distance it takes for light(the speed of light) to travel an entire year. If someone is going the speed of light, would take them an entire year to travel a lightyear. Did you know, there are places are SO far away, it is literally impossible to observe them because they're light hasn't reached us yet? In the whole existence of our universe, there are places that are SO far away, that the light from the other side hasn't reached us yet. it is been more than sextillions of centuries, and at the speed of light, it has taken it this long and it's light still hasn't reached us. If that makes any sense. The things we CAN observe is called the "Observable Universe", and anything past it is completely unavailable to us because the light past it hasn't reached us yet. Crazy right? So everything we think we know about space and the universe is only a TINY fraction of what there actually is. WAY less then 5%. More like .000000000001% is what we know, compared the the size and complexity of reality. But if you think about it this way, there could be aliens on the other side just like us, wondering if they're alone in the universe, just like us, trying to grasp at any information and learn, just like us. Advancing to try and keep going, just like us. But we'll never be able to meet any of these aliens because they're so far away, and not even light can reach them.

Knowledge has never been so accessible. People today know more about diseases and health through internet research; Than doctors a few centuries back, who've studies most of their lives.. I can get recipes with origins from around the globe. Know the date of the next and last Blood moon. Translate or learn any language. I can talk to my family halfway around the world in real time. 200-ish years ago (which is nothing in terms of human history) sending a letter that far would've been quite hard, and extremely costly, if not completely impractical.

[@emilflognoid1532]

Personally I think your actually correct. What if dark energy is actually Gods active force? If the universe was created by an intelligent mind, than that would explain why there isn’t an equal amount of Anti-matter in the universe, Which is mathematically what should be the case if the big bang was an accident. It would explain why the universe would be speeding up in its expansion as well, Which defies Physics and mathematics, But would make sense if the universe was created for us to live in it forever. Maybe were just at the footsteps of being allowed to expand into the universe itself as a species.

[@joaodecarvalho7012]

[@xZise]

But then the first part of the sentence wouldn't make sense. As he says there are more theories to what dark matter is than what it isn't. And then he also says why these theories are wrong.

[@Ollie2220]

Fabian Neundorf I think you're mistaken, he says "Right now, we have more ideas about what DARK ENERGY is not, than what it is". He then goes on to say what Dark MATTER is not. He meant to say "Right now, we have more ideas about what Dark Matter is not, than what it is". He says we know more about what Dark matter is not, rather than what it is.

[@xZise]

Ollie Maddox ah misunderstood. I thought you were confused by the "not". Didn't actually hear him saying dark energy and thought he said dark matter.

[@j.lucido9536]

Ollie Maddox I think he said it right... Because we don't know what dark matter is, so we can only explain what it is not hence kind of, explaining it.. It's kind of a paradox. but it works to explain such things.

[@FNHot]

This video was so good until you ruined it with the "It's just a theory" thing. You mean hypothesis. In science, theories are working models, with fact and evidence behind them. Gravity is a theory.... by saying "just a theory" you discount science as a whole, and give creationists a reason to spout "evolution is just a theory!" Ugh, please be careful with this.

[@OppaiAI]

FNHot But it is just a theory, like superstring theory is a theory. Dark matter and energy are both theoretical models based on observations or calculations, but not fully understood or proven. And they are not the same like for example the hollow earth hypothesis. Who cares what creationists think, they wouldn't believe in evolution anyway, no matter how you name it.

[@linkinl1]

FNHot It is just a theory. But evolution is just a theory with so much evidence that it is unlikely to be anything else.

[@kwsapphire]

FNHot I was going to bring this up if no one else did. I thought "Hmm, pretty sure it's not scientifically accurate to call Dark Matter & Dark Energy theories, because they're not proven the way Gravity and Evolution are." They are indeed hypotheses. I was a little saddened that such a well done channel would so carelessly use that word. :\

[@billsmith8397]

FNHot Hes, they are both hypothesis, but I don't think he ruined the video and disregarded science as a whole, you just overreacted. Also, stop picking fights. Anyone with half a brain could see that you WANT a religious argument. Atheists like you just bring up religion whenever you can. This goes to +theoverdark too. And just so you know, there are religious people that believe in evolution. The notion that all Christians, for example, think the world was created in 6 days is just false. Look up "long day theory" if you are interested, and I would really appreciate if you stopping thinking and spreading that idea.

[@FNHot]

Vantor Die Originale werden offensichtlich auf English verfasst. Auch wenn die Betreiber Deutsche sind werden die Videos auf dem deutschen Kanal lediglich übersetzt. Die deutschsprachige KZbin-Gemeinschaft ist soweit ich weiß nach der englischen die zweitgrößte und vor allem wenn es um Wissenschaft geht ist es für viele deutsche Angenehmer und weniger verwirrend die Videos auf Deutsch zu sehen. Auch wenn sich die deutsche Übersetzung im Grundtonus leider underscheidet (vor allem wenn es um politische Themen geht von relativ neutral zu etwas linker) begrüße ich den deutschen Kanal. So können selbst die Deutschen, die Sprachfaul sind mitreden. The originals are obviously drafted in English. Even though the operators are Germans their videos on their German channel are only translated. It makes sense since the German KZbin community is, as far as I know, the second largest after the English one and many Germans like to see videos in their motherlanguage - especially when it comes to science it is less confusing. Also Germans who are not good at the English language can have a chat about the videos. Even though the German translation lacks of neutrality especially on political topics being more leftist I appriciate this step.
