Big Bang experiment may reveal dark universe: Yeah and it’s called Washington DC..

Cool. Thanks!

Here’s what I wonder. Are you reaching a point where you are creating universes when you slam these little marbles together this hard?

[Greysard]

"We don't know what dark matter is," -- Then how will you know it when you see it?

By seeing something that you do not know.

[tet68]

Of course.

[circlecity]

"We don't know what dark matter is,"

You don't know "if" it is either. Right now it's just a term you use to explain why your equations don't work out right with the data you've got.

I'm no genius, but isn't that "EONR"

[beethovenfan]

I think some of that stuff is in the White House.

Dark Matter: What’s in Michelle’s thighs!!

[rahbert]

the one that says the universe was ‘created’ in 6000BC?

[caww]

Exactly....my brother who is into this sort of scientific stuff says this is very dangerous...he explained why but of course my limited mind did not compute it well. As was said the earth could get sucked into a black hole...they just don’t know.

We don't know what dark matter is," Then how will you now it when you see it?..............

My understanding is that it will be really, really dark and smell a lot like licorice...

Let me know which night to go outside & look up! :)

There's nothing in the Bible AS stupid as evolution or as thinking that the universe started 17B years ago in a singularity.

In fact, having all the mass of the universe collapsed to a point would be the ultimate black hole. How's anything gonna "bang" its way out of that??

[parsifal]

And, not only does it bang its way out of it, supposedly we know it’s size, and about how long it took to coalesce into particles and energy, and about how long it took for the matter and anti-matter to KERBLAM, and about how much percentage wise there was of each, so we know that there was more matter than anti-matter.

Science is great, and so are mathematical representations, but it seems to get stretched to me.

parsy, who OTOH, may just be too stupid to understand

>>How’s anything gonna “bang” its way out of that??

Thats what the learned minds at CERN want to find out.
But the evidence we can see and measure tells us that
this is indeed the case. The guy who coined the phrase
big bang also attempted to proven that the U was steady state and therefore no “Creator” needed to set existence into being.

It is pretty conclusive that the universe is indeed about 13.8B years old, as proven with measurement
of distances to various stars, the behavior of light,
and the decay properties of the elements.

Maybe when we finally solve this mystery the Lord will
call us home and tell us we’ve graduated to the next level.

The big bang was never based on anything better than a misinterpretation of redshift data. Halton Arp basically destroyed the idea with good counterexamples of very high and very low redshift objects which are clearly part and parcel of the same things and growing numbers of scientists are giving up on the idea.
