Physicists Wonder: Why Has No One Been Killed by Dark Matter?

The fact that no one has died from being struck by dark matter is enough proof to rule out certain ideas about the mysterious stuff, according to one new theory paper.

There’s a conundrum facing physicists: Most of the universe’s mass appears to be missing, based on observations of the universe’s structure, how galaxies move, and how they seem to warp distant light. Thousands of physicists are now hunting for what might be producing these effects. But the mere fact that we’re alive here on Earth can offer some insight as to what dark matter isn’t, and the researchers behind the new paper say the human body itself can serve as a dark matter detector.

Maybe it isn’t real, and it’s something made up to fit preexisting equations?

Does Dark Matter matter, and is it racist to ask the question?

They had to invent dark matter because their equations didn’t explain the Universe as observed. Intelligent people would try to create equations that explain reality.

None of the universe’s mass is missing. It’s right where it has always been. Revise your theories!

PS, what about “dark energy”?

And they make fun of us for “making up” God. ;)

Except He shows His presence in the lives of LOTS of us.

Maybe dark matter doesn’t go around striking things or people.

But everyone dies from neutrino radiation. Well, everyone dies, and everyone is penetrated by hundreds of billions of neutrinos per second 24/7, so that only makes sense.

I knew an atheist in college who believed in String Theory, and laughed about those who believe in God.

Dark matter is fiction needed to support the hrs irrational model of the universe. The electromagnetic model does not need it.

The same people who believe in Global Warming, Dark Matter and Green Energy laugh at us for believing on GOD!.......................

Dark Matter comprises only 13% of all the matter in the universe but is responsible for 50% of the deaths.

The term ‘Dark Matter’ is racist!

We should use ‘Matter of Color’......................
