Dark Matter: Is a Revolution Coming to Physics?
scitechdaily.com ^ | JULY 15, 2022

Posted on 07/17/2022 12:56:29 PM PDT by BenLurkin

Newton’s Theory of Gravity explains most large-scale events fairly well. ... However, the theory is not foolproof. Einstein’s theories of general and special relativity, for example, explained data that Newton’s theory couldn’t. Scientists still use Newton’s theory because it works in the overwhelming majority of cases and has much simpler equations.

Dark matter was proposed as a way to reconcile Newtonian physics with the data. But what if, instead of reconciliation, a modified theory is needed.... Mordehai Milgrom...developed a theory of gravity (called Modified Newtonian Dynamics or “Mond” for short) in 1982 that postulates gravity functions differently when it becomes very weak, such as at the edge of disk galaxies.

His theory does not simply explain the behaviors of galaxies; it predicts them. The problem with theories is that they can explain just about anything. ...One way to separate good theories from bad ones is to see which theory makes better predictions.

Recent analysis of Mond shows that it makes significantly better predictions than standard dark matter models. What that means is that, while dark matter can explain the behavior of galaxies quite well, it has little predictive power and is, at least on this front, an inferior theory.

Only more data and debate will be able to settle the score on dark matter and Mond. However, Mond coming to be accepted as the best explanation would shatter decades of scientific consensus and make one of the more mysterious features of the universe much more normal. A modified theory may not be as sexy as dark, unseen forces, but it may just have the advantage of being better science.

You just falsified your original argument.

Nope.

And you are a marble.

No, YOU'RE a marble.


At least he would be real. Black holes are not real and are pure fantasy. They're fun in movies though.

There are more than claims:

Live demonstrations on Tomorrow's World and BBC Radio 4 showed that an egg coated in Starlite could remain raw, and cold enough to be picked up with a bare hand, even after five minutes in the flame of an oxyacetylene blowtorch. It would also prevent a blowtorch from damaging a human hand.[6] When heat is applied, the material chars, which creates an expanding low density carbon foam which is very thermally resistant.[7] Even the application of a plasma torch, capable of cutting eighteen-inch thick steel plate, has little impact on Starlite. It was reported that it took nine seconds to heat a warhead to 900 degrees Celsius, but a thin layer of the compound prevented the temperature from rising above 40 degrees Celsius.[8] Starlite was also claimed to have been able to withstand a laser beam that could produce a temperature of 10,000 degrees Celsius.

and

The American company Thermashield, LLC claims to have acquired the rights to Starlite in 2013 and replicated it.[2][3] It is the only company to have itself publicly demonstrated the technology and have samples tested by third parties.[4] Thermashield's Starlite has successfully passed femtosecond laser testing at the Georgia Institute of Technology and ASTM D635-15 Standard Testing.[5]

Wiki's got it.

You’re wrong about black holes. They do violate pure mathematics, that is because mathematics is a framework, invented by us, that is an imperfect framework for describing the physical world.

True. Though we have an atmosphere. By the standard model of the sun is a gas the sun wouldn’t have it’s chromosphere. I gave a report which uses their explanation on how hydrogen steams holds up the chromosphere. Sounds like magic to me

Agreed. Black holes are based on faith

The sun is not a gas. The sun is plasma.

hydrogen steams

Dahell is ' hydrogen steam'?

The sun is almost all Hydrogen and Helium, and not much else. Those are gasses on earth, but liquids at the surface of the sun. However, they’re under gravitational pressure that’s nearly 30 times that of Earth. In the center of the sun the temperature is off the charts, causing the H & He to deform to plasma.

Depending on a star’s size and life stage, the plasma recombines to any of the scores of elements found on earth:

Years ago a freeper, I can’t remember who, came up with a great alternative theory of gravity, which is that all stuff is getting bigger while the space between stuff is staying the same, so stuff is tending to bump up against other stuff, which is indistinguishable from gravitational attraction. He was kidding but it was pretty clever.

I agree. Yeah I often miss spell stuff.
I think I get my point across.

You realize that isn't what the standard model of the sun?
They actually believe it's a gas. They never even question their faith.

I agree it's a very dirty Plasma as the sun creates a tremendous amount of electricity. Take a shovel full of dirt heat is up to 20 million deg F and run the electrical power of a nuclear power plant into the shovel full of liquid dirt. You got yourself a simulation of the suns plasma (although it would have a lot more electricity on the sun then what a power plant can do.)

"which is that all stuff is getting bigger"
I heard a variation of this theory. I don't think its a bad theory.
As with nuclear decay so does the forces of an atoms bond. As time progresses the atom weakens and expands.

Not sure who you're reading but everywhere I looked they agreed the sun is made up of plasma.

plasma is a loose term which really means it's highly charged particles. They will tell you it's mostly hydrogen and helium. It's like saying earth is mostly made of hydrogen if you left out the soil.

The sun nor the earth can hold up it's atmosphere without dense object at it's base.

This might seem like a minor point given that it is true. Nearly everything about astronomy and nuclear physics is wrong.

Chondrite meteors are only found from our sun. They're negatively charged meteors when they hit our positively charged atmosphere they always blow up on entry. Which means they came from the surface of the sun which is negatively charged. Other meteors have no charge or are positively charged.
Another odd thing about Chondrite meteors they're the only meteor with amino acids on them.

Then I advise you to get your doctorate and prove all the others wrong with solid, replicatable mathematics and physics. You will be more famous than Einstein!

I gave links in this thread to many different doctors from all over the world with their detailed reports that has done exactly that.

I see you have a lot of faith in government still. Give you believe Einstein was some kind of genius. He was a fraud.

Actually, I have a lot of faith in mathematics.

I have a double-degree, and one of those majors is physics.
