dark mater is the failure of a mathematical equation that theoretical physics use to prove mathematically they can figure the rules governing the universe.
Basically the math does not ad up unless the Mathematicians substitute some numbers that says there is more mass to the universe then is predicted in another mathematical model so this mas is called dark mater because we currently cant detect it .
For me it is quite comforting that we don’t have everything figured out... who wants to live in a world with out mystery and wonder... Who wants to live in a world where all is explained.

Most of the mass is the result of an interaction and not of the particles themselves. Hence the term “dark matter”. It is misleading as it is not matter at all but a way of quantifying how matter interacts in the universe and so far it has not been detected
I agree with you 100% and you said it better than I.
Which equation?
John Fowles: "Mankind needs the existence of mysteries. Not their solution."
Maybe the theories and equations are wrong, and there’s no dark matter.
WE KNOW IT EXISTS BECAUSE WE FUND IT!
Very interesting post. To me, it’s all even more unexplained. The idea that there isn’t enough visible matter in the universe to explain what we observe is based upon the assumption that those very fundamental principles that we observe and believe (e.g. that mass attracts mass, like charges repel, opposite charges attract, etc.) are operative everywhere. Are they? We don’t even understand how or why mass attracts mass. We developed atomic weapons based upon release of ‘strong forces’ that we know exist, but the nature of which we don’t understand. We are, at this point in human history, only a few steps into a billion mile journey trying to learn how God works.
John Fowles: “Mankind needs the existence of mysteries. Not their solution.”
That quote, IMHO, is Profound.
I have long considered the implications on a society in which all that can be known was known.
It would be the End. Like driving a bus with all of mankind on board at 1000 mph for centuries and hitting a brick wall.
Everything thing stops. The future stops. Hope Stops. All that continues is the slow motion deconstruction of the billions of pieces of accumulated knowledge diffused into meaninglessness.
Can't argue with that. As to the laws of the universe being the same everywhere, check this out. It's going to blow me away if someday they show that the laws of nature on the far side of the universe are different than here on earth. The universe is strange, but so far it doesn't appear to be that strange!
Not saying this applies to you, USA, but what gets me is that people seem too willing to believe something for which there is little evidence (math and physics is all wrong!), and disbelieve something for which there is a lot of evidence (dark matter exists).
Answer. We donk know that dark matter or energy exist. Our formulae dont work for all things.that doesnt give anyone the right to say something exists. P.S....that sounds like the “god of the gaps”....or in this case...”the maybe of the gaps”
.make new discoveries....stop trying to calculate reality with so few facts....like a blind man doing brain surgery..
The physical constants might vary over distance, but even more bizarrely, they may vary over time.
Dark matter is not DARK matter.
It is the same matter that we see and touch and measure and smell and hear.
However, there is DARK matter as it exists in a different time plane, and that time plane is in the past, where all matter that ever existed (which still exists today), exists in the past, and it’s the matter of the past that is “interacting” with the present, and which scientists still have no way of measuring, and may never be able to do, since, that matter exists in all instances of the past. With more passage of time, the influence of dark matter will increase, and matter that we see in the current instance of time, will become and even smaller slice of the “space/time/matter/energy” continuum.
So, there is your answer. Simple, but complicated.
BTW, there is but one universe, and it’s comprised of matter and energy, which exist in the present and in the past. It’s the past that is being pesky with our cosmologists, and humans in general.
basically I am saying that a lot of times scientists make up the numbers so that they can further there work on a theory when dealing with mathematical models it is valid for there research but drawing any sort of conclusions for the public is insanity.
a good example of this insanity is the cult of global warming the same equations that says man has a noticeable effect on global climate change rather then it being the gravitational effect on volcanoes and the Magnetosphere caused by sunspot cycles and solar flare from the sun is created by made up numbers in a mathematical model.
I love science but unfortunately lot of scientists are intellectually dishonest when it comes to the validity of there conclusions and the media eats up everything not understanding that what is being presented is just a dam good attempt to explain things and a lot of times is just used to reinforce preconceived belief systems
or to make a name for someone presenting am idea that needs more work before it should be looked at as a fact.
Did they go there and set up instruments to measure gravity and orbiting stars?
Or did they stay on earth and "reckon" all their estimates?
I think you are correct. A world without mysteries would die.
