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,” ...

“If dark matter is so prevalent why isn’t my lawn covered in the stuff?”
It is covered with the stuff.
Dark matter. In the Bible, Paul said. “For now we see through a glass darkly...”
And we know nothing is at it APPEARS.
For all I know the dark matter is the illusion.
So much for that theory. Another one hits the crapper!
Oh, dear. What can the matter be. Johnny’s so long at the fifth dimension ogling Marilyn McCoo, who is still young and beautiful there, though Mr. Mxysptlk keeps trying to get into her pants.
So my lawn is covered with some heretofore undiscovered substance that is invisible and undetectable by any means yet it manages to hold the entire Universe together.
Bunk.

DANG!!
I was too late!
LOL
“undetectable by any means”
It has been detected.
No, it hasn’t been. It’s been postulated.
Look it up.

“No, it hasn’t been. It’s been postulated.”
I thought they disproved “Dark Matter”..?
“Oscillating Overthruster, monkey boys”
Latest data of the early universe from the JWST definitely shows that dark matter theory completely fails when compared to the observations.
MOND theory was closer, but still fell short of the data.
The amazing complexity of the human body reveals astronomical odds that we are random matter in the universe that just happened to come together in way that supports complex life.
I think the odds of all the proteins required for mono cellular life to have the right handedness are like 1.06 x 10^300 odds.Does NOT even count for the right proteins to be sequenced correctly. Just the direction they are pointed.
We live in an anthropomorphic universe.
The only thing "warped" are the drug-addicted physicists who publish this climate-science-level drivel...
This crew must belong to the wacky "string-theory" gaggle...
That Physical Review C would publish this kind of crap is heart-breaking...

And then…her voice!!

We need another mind like Einstein’s to move us forward again.
Agreed. That person may have been aborted though. I’ve frequently wondered if the person who was destined to cure cancer was aborted years ago.
Big-boo-TAY! TAY!!!
