And, I have always thought (imagined) that a “black hole” is where an object departed our time frame, faster than the speed of light.

I suspect, that you could follow that path. But trying to get back?

Yet, someday, some “AI” thing might map the “black holes” of the universe. So, some places beyond the beyond, you might travel to and return from . . .

But I am thankful for the blessings of Jesus, and with God, ‘the end of time’ actually means, what we think of time, is entirely his creation: ‘The end of time’ is non-existence of time.

The first time I heard the term “dark matter,” I figured we could replace the term with “God” or “magic” interchangeably. People are way to quick to accept dodgy explanations for what they don’t understand.

‘Dark Matter’ is just a placeholder in an equation that stands for an unknown variable, it might as well be X∞.................

An “unknown variable” is a great way to explain things we don’t know but want credit for knowing. (Note: I’m embarrassed for using “to” instead of “too” in my previous post.)

Nothing but your postulation gentlemen, go back and read your bible.

I find that, with those of Faith, science supports the Bible. God's wonders are manifest and
display His supernatural genius.

I've always wondered if dark matter might be something related to the 4th dimension. As 3 dimensional creatures we can't fathom the 4th dimension.

Here is how I look at it. Imagine a 2 dimensional creature, that only has length and width, but no height. Like a small square of paper (obviously paper has height, albeit very small, but pretend it is like that). A creature from the 3rd dimension, (us!) comes and lifts up that 2 dimensional creature and holds it in the 3rd dimension, hovering over all its friends. He thinks it is awesome!

Then it gets set back down. It tries to tell its friends about this 3rd dimension, but there is no point of reference to try to explain it to someone who hasn't been in the 3rd dimension.

So back to us, is there a 4th dimension, but we cannot grasp it, because there is no such frame of reference. Maybe that is what the whole space/time and/or dark matter thing is.

These theories are worthless.

It’s simple. There is no such thing as gravity.

The Earth SUCKS.

But, what made it suck? Sin.

And, whodunnit? Adam and Eve, when they went Woke.

Bad move. Ruined the climate too!

Where did the matter come from that produced the “infinitely” dense speck that “expanded” into the universe? Where did the energy come from that made the “infinitely” dense baby universe expand as it’s now doing?

Good start on getting rid of that “dark-”whatever nonsense. If your theories math requires unicorn farts to exist... it’s probably wrong.

Now if they can just couple in the rate of particle creation from quantum perturbation of space/time... maybe they can adjust the Universal “expansion” that they are seeing that should just rightly be quantified as “movement”.

This is a very poorly-written article.

Dark matter is the hypothetical gravitationally interacting mass that permits galaxies to spin much faster than their baryonic (non-dark) mass would seem to permit. JWST seeing brighter and more complex galaxies in the early eons of the observable universe doesn’t refute the hypothesis.

Dark matter is not the hypothetical explanation for the observed expansion of the universe - that’s dark energy.

The Bible teaches that space was stretched out like a tent, one dimension after the other, not an explosion- a great expansion not a big bang, but, at the end of time, Jesus is said to release His grip on the elements and they will fly apart with a great noise. Space will then collapse, forming “hell” Hell is simply the old universe at the time of its death. This is why Satan u.s. always said to be crushed at his judgement. Hell in the Bible is a place of intense heat but also darkness. There is a valley between hell and the new universe which “no one may cross.”. That would be the event horizon. Hawking said time runs like normal in the center of a black hole so for the spirits trapped within, time would continue forever fueled by a universal-mass hole.

“Gravity possesses concentrated time.”

It depends on how being “concentrated” (as a concept) affects the experience of time.

There is measurable evidence that the greater the gravitational pull (or linear acceleration) within a frame of reference, the slower time moves. It’s called “gravitational time dilation”.

Considering how many of these scientists have tenure riding on their theories continuing to bring in funding?

You are most likely correct.
