Scientists Are Pretty Sure They Found a Portal to the Fifth Dimension
Popular Mechanic ^ | 23/12/24 | Caroline Delbert

Dark matter could be the result of fermions pushed into a warped fifth dimension. This theory builds on an idea first stated in 1999, but is unique in its findings. Dark matter makes up 75 percent of matter but has never been observed ... yet. Scientists say they can explain dark matter by positing a particle that links to a fifth dimension.

While the “warped extra dimension” (WED) is a trademark of a popular physics model first introduced in 1999, this research, published in The European Physical Journal C, is the first to cohesively use the theory to explain the long-lasting dark matter problem within particle physics.

Our knowledge of the physical universe relies on the idea of dark matter, which takes up the vast majority of matter in the universe. Dark matter is a kind of pinch hitter that helps scientists explain how gravity works, because a lot of features would dissolve or fall apart without an “x factor” of dark matter. Even so, dark matter doesn’t disrupt the particles we do see and “feel,” ...

Superman: Dark matter*. Now that little nudnick Mxysptlk will be able to "visit" more often.

* Superman never cusses. That's the closest he'll get to it.

If dark matter is so prevalent why isn’t my lawn covered in the stuff?

Do you get there in a beautiful balloon, or do we have to wait for the age of Aquarius?

“When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

[Chorus]
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius”

The moon Mia be in the seventh house. Maybe Jupiter aligned with mars.

‘Dark matter’ and ‘string theory’ are fantastical cheats thought up by physicists to explain away what they don’t understand. They have never experimentally proven dark matter or strings in any way. Those two theories are a cheat to cover the fact that they don’t really know the real answer. Now they’re coming up with extra dimensions and other flights of fancy that are yet unproven by experiments or any other evidence besides basically describing the phenomena they do not understand.

There is no 5th dimension. Up, down, front and back, side to side. Time really is not a dimension at all, but they like to say it is. ANY point in space can be described using the 3 dimensions....

But SciFi needs magic dimensions.

Keep the blacks here. They’re cultural catalysts in style, music, and colloquial language, as well as sports. As Eddie Murphy said, if there’s only white people, all that would remain is Hockey. They’re also homophobic and transphobic, and lots of them voted for Trump.

As for the Dems, it’d be too easy to trick them into saying their names backwards, and then they’d be back here in the other four dimensions, annoying us endlessly.

Why do they not go through the portal? Isn’t that what a real scientist would do?
