In current brane theory, there are many brane combinations of space and time which effect particles bound to those branes. Gravity from the graviton particle (not found yet, but theorized) is the single force which is not bound by branes and the nature of gravity as a weak force marco-wise is theorized to be weak because it is spread across so many branes beyond our brane. If there are other branes not directly discernable by our brane, you literally could be vacuuming up dark matter, but there would be a 'mass/gravity effect that would not escape your attention. So, no, you wouldn't likely be vacuuming it up regularly if you don't find your 'bagged grit' to be unusually heavy.

That's the same thing the Oreck guy told me.

I hate when NASA teases so far in advance. This is an interesting finding...

I agree. There is no such thing as Dark Matter or Dark Energy any more than there is a Darth Vader.

Separation of dark matter and light matter happens every Thanksgiving whenever you carve the bird...........
Amen!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'd like to clarify. "Brane" is short for membrane, the theoretical construct becoming popular as an explanation of the shortcomings of String Theory.

It's no big deal, it's just that we're coming up to the next fiscal year for the Gov. (October) and NASA always has a major discovery, around this time of year, in order to get the slice of the pie that they need for research. It's not science, it's politics.

Clearly you don't have white carpets.

Liberal Intelligence? Sounds like a Dark Matter conspiracy to me.

Somewhat. The membrane approach has led some to postulate multiverses or parallel universes. Strictly speakng, brane theory is involved with branes confined to the universe of our existence, though some interactions may not be as obvious as light (for instance). String theory will likley prove to be somewhat the state of our reality, though perhaps not having 26 dimensions.

A question from the dunce in the corner: is dark matter the same as anti matter?
