So uhh... what is dark matter made of?

massive compact halo objects

Something with gravity

>>9125596
Dark energy is probably a better name.

It is just excess energy~gravity that the theories fail to account for.

Trust theory -> Observe discrepancy -> Hypothesize existence of exotic material instead of assuming the theory is wrong

>>9125596
WIMPs like yourself

>>9125605
no, they're weakly interacting massive particles

>>9125608
they're different things schweinstein

>>9125608
would a super hyper black hole explain that?

So how do humans survive these three scenarios?

>>9125596
If we knew that we wouldn't be calling it dark matter.

Well, actually we do consider black holes to be dark matter. But considering the huge discrepancy between what is predicted and what is measured, something tells me we're gonna have to update that definition in a few decades.

It's made of nothing because it doesn't exist. It's sci-fi technobabble attached to a fudge variable.

>>9125649
They don't.

>>9126087
FUCK you we will survive

>>9125632
Nope. We've already detected all of the black holes. They account for a very small fraction of the Universe's total dark matter.

It's made of non-baryonic matter and non-baryonic matter is matter that does not have baryons

>>9126131
So neutrinos, then? Something tells me that's not quite true.

Our universe exists within the event horizon of a black hole that is in 4 dimensional space. Anything that exists outside this 4d blackhole will have a gravitational effect on objects within it.

It's possible that the gravity disortion of dark matter is actually 4d matter that's still in the process of falling into the black hole. As it gets closer to the event horizon it'll generate more gravity in our 3d space. Once it makes contact with the event horizon the 4d matter will be compressed into 3d space, and the dark matter will enter our universe as regular mater in a giant explosion or big bang.

In short, dark matter is the stuff the big bang was made of, and the great attractor is the next one that's coming.

what is dark energy made of?

>>9125596

dark matter/dark energy is hypothetical shit used to explain observed anomalies where we can't find a source of the anomaly

Dark matter is a sea of massive dark photons which fill 'empty' space and is displaced by ordinary matter. What is referred to geometrically as curved spacetime physically exists in nature as the state of displacement of the dark matter. The state of displacement of the dark matter is gravity.

>>9126592
>used to explain
No one is using it to explain anything, it's literally just the name they use to identify the anomaly.

>>9127345
jesus christ i found a brainlet

it's accelerating at a rate disproportional to the amount of matter we observe in the universe; the only obvious explanation is that there is matter, it's just not directly observable

The crushed dreams of physicists

yep, either that or the current theories are shit
really make you think, huh
