Do black holes reflect, or emit any electromagnetic radiation?

I don't know, but I been told them pesky black hole accretion discs could be kicking off some electromagnetic stuff.

Not to worry. Dark Matter and Dark Energy are just names we use as placeholders while we wait for another Newton or Einstein to come along and explain to us what is really going on out there.

My unscientific theory is that physics and the rules of nature are much different at the macro level, just like they are on the micro level. Quantum physics on massive steroids.

Me too. Any theory that says “The magical band of elite sorcerers (er, mystical unknowable multi-string invisible multi-dimension mathematical physicists ) say so but YOU are too plebian to understand it” is no more than magic.

So, 85% of mass, and 80% of energy in the universe cannot be detected at all, but they “have to be there” to make the theory work? Time to get a new theory.

At least with the Creation theory, you only need one coincidence (er, miracle. )

She is the perfect black hole.

An invisible hell that sucks in all..

“One possible origin for this discrepancy is that we may be missing some key physics in the simulations.”

As much as 85 percent of the matter in the Universe could be dark matter.

``
Not new, just more data to affirm. Byronic matter (us) is just the frothy head on a pitcher of beer; dark matter is all the rest.

Had we raised James Clerk Maxwell to the same status as his disciples Einstein and Tesla, perhaps we would know much more that we do, instead we relegated Maxwell to the dustbin of mathematics

Now that’s good. I’ll give you a high five and a ping.

Come to the dark side it is theoretically 85%!

Thank Oliver Heaviside for taking a hatchet to Maxwell’s equations written in Quaternion form, reducing the math to a mere vector calculus description. Maxwell’s 20 equations in 20 variables was reduced to Heaviside’s 4 equations in 2 variables. This partial description of the elephant is only the blind man’s interpretation of encountering a trunk, a leg, an ear in isolation—what is taught today as Maxwell’s work.

Or maybe it doesn’t exist at all. After all, there’s only indirect evidence for it, right?

If there's so much dark matter floating around all these galaxies, shouldn't we be able to detect it (or its presence) in our own galaxy? In our own solar system? Seems to me it would be much easier to find this stuff if we look much closer to home, fewer gravitational lensing issues, better resolution, etc etc.

Always be suspicious when experts create invisible bogeyman objects that explain everything but can’t be directly observed.

Hey! Those are my lines! I’m sure you know all we know about the entire electromagnetic spectrum comes from the 4 vector equations Heaviside transformed.

I think the only place any of those original quaternions are being studied is in the Black world, about which we only know that it may exist, but never the extent.

But if it does, then many of the otherwise crazy/impossible statements alleged to have been said by various people who were close to such things may well be true, because those statements compliment the very things things the 200 quaternions postulated.

Just ask any cosmologist where all the matter came from that caused the "Big Bang".............

Gads I do love you-alls explanations of gravity, dark matter, quantum leaps and, oh, yes, the quantum/black hole, starry-eyed gravity comparisons... math. Seriously, I do!

Actually I really do admire your thoughts and gibes about the universe as well. Is it really “the” universe or some enormous circle of unending collections then dispersions of black holes, gravity accretions (do they or not?), galaxies...magnetic mountains, plains and vales and in what dimensions?

Often in the dark of night I think of these things. But no one resides close enough to my eternal heart and soul to share my wonderings...I can’t imagine the joy of sharing the darkness of a cool night watching the stars from a mesa top at 7,000 feet in the clarity of the desert and musing...with a love.

Given enough time, after 81 years of being given this gift of life, I...I hope my soul/spirit does understand the way “it works”, at least a tad, so that as “I” wander into the Mystery I am as thrilled as I was today to read your ideas and enjoy your humor....

Maybe the thrill of “ knowing how it works” is inviolate and the end will be as much fun as the effort.
