It is amazing how much we don’t understand!
It takes more faith to not believe in a Creator, than it does to believe in Him.
Sounds like the Mechs are busily herding pulsars for one of their mysterious projects.
“The center of the Milky Way galaxy is thought to contain dark matter because it is home to a dense concentration of mass...”
INCORRECT.
Dark matter was invented because all galaxies (not just the Milky Way) absolutely fail to behave as they should if their movements were dictated primarily by gravity. Thus scientists imagine that pixie dust, oops I mean “dark matter”, is sprinkled around the galaxies in just the right amounts, in just the right places, in order to allow them to describe the galaxies using only gravity-based equations. They cannot detect this pixie dust, I mean “dark matter”, but I guess if they just believe in it really hard, it might become real.
WEll, that’s comforting , I guess.. As we don’t know how much dark matter is out there anyway.
Although , it must be quite substantial. In a relative way. I reckon.
peace.
IN GRB WE TRUST (MISSING US) :-)
If dark matter is gravitationally reactive what would keep it from aggregating into dark matter planets and stellar structures of its own. These should be detectable as they’re presumably massive, thus supposedly contributing to the so-called missing mass of the universe overall.
Yet this is not what we detect in this nor any other stellar system that we have discovered, instead to be informed that there is just dark matter, which is supposedly is undetectable.
If it is gravitationally coupled then it seemingly should be discernable.
I’m convinced dark matter is a myth that is developed to solve bad math that helps support bad physics theories.
