I feel like this could've been a shorter video:
Narrator: "What is Dark Matter?"
Scientists: "We're not sure yet."
Roll credits.

"I'm dropping the title, they love that!"

I'm glad that made it in.

Perhaps instead of the current MOND model, there is more of a multiplier on gravity that looks like- x cubed + 1. When matter is in a normal range the multiplier on gravity's equal to one. As the Rarity of matter increases the multiplier increases and therefore the effective gravity is increased. As the density of matter is increased to a critical limit the multiplier on gravity goes down. This would be testable if we observed a neutron star collapsing into a black hole. If a black hole were to collapse, the modifier on gravity would eventually go down to zero and dip into a negative range for just a moment. This would cause the black hole to expand and we would see exactly what we see in inflationary cosmology.

These people has a really fun way of explaining stuff and it's very easy to understand also lol

I learn new things that "dark matter is like the glue of the universe . "

[MrGlobali]

Thank you very much, well done, very good presentation.

I wonder, could it be that dark matter is something existing in another dimension, and all we can see in our dimension is it's influence on gravity. Like 2D species wont be able to see 3D objects in 3D space but these objects can have an effect on their gravity too.

I'm sure there's some reason behind the theory, but... we programmed a computer to think something, and it did.

[sandman]

Maybe all matter created from dark matter. Like some kind of waves colliding with each other and created matter. Maybe...

[wackywankavator]

Dark Matter is the virtual question mark in the gap of scientific understanding.

What you've likely missed is here on our YT channel

Dark Matter seems to be a safety net. Potential Engineering. Hm. More research is needed to definitively confirm whether this is the case. But I'm definitely leaning towards engineering.

[michaelanderson]

I think most dark matter is black holes, and smaller objects such as asteroids, comets and drawf planets.

[Knight]

the dark matter map looks like our brian structure with all its neuron😧

[icare]

Therefore, it is possible that between Dark Matter are Black Holes vs just in Black Holes. Thus, Black Matter is the quantum highway bending time and space to hyper jump between galaxies🌌& planets🪐 in our Universe.

[tombenjamin]

A matter that is dark is a dark matter

Here is an off topic, fringe, pseudo-science, theory I had yesterday. What are your thoughts on the following? I can take the criticism so don't hold anything back. Thanks!

What if the pyramid structures doted around the planet at specific latitudes and longitudes were ancient Ham Radios?

If the piezoelectric effect were generated by the mass of the pyramids, while the buildings surrounding were equipped with stone analog logic gates you could say the entire Giza Plateau was a circuit board the size of a city. While harnessing that much geomagnetic energy it might be possible to tune the occilating frequency output from the obelisk towers. Thus turning it into an ancient two way antenna/ Ham Radio. If the output carrier wave were specifically tuned to the inverse harmonic resonance of the ionosphere you could, in theory, bounce data packets across the world to every other pyramidal structure set as a two way receiving antenna, simultaneously. Theoretically a 12, 500 b.c.e. to 30, 000 b.c.e world wide telegraph network of the most rudimentary design might have been possible.

Think of the quartz crystals used as transducers, and signal attenuators housed within the logic gates which comprised the circuitry.
One caveat. All this obviously assumes that boolean logic, and binary data transformations were harnessed to disambiguate between background radio noise and carrier waves.

Now the hurdle of proving it which will undountedly be impossible. Because the passage of tens of thousands of years has erased everything not made of megalithic stone.
But I digress.

I'm clearly not an electrical, or computer, engineer. But if you can entertain the possibility by making several quantum leaps of faith I'd love to hear any alternative theories you might have.

Thoughtfully yours;

Or the mass of ALL the objects in that galaxy work together to keep it from flying apart at the current speed at which it is rotating.
If it began to spin faster or slower it would begin to fly apart or collapse on itself. Either of those would make a real mess. Lol

[mindblue]

if hot & light are power then cold & shadow are power too. cold & shadow(dark) power are origin of universe. human from Absolute vacuum.

Hope one day when we know enough of Dark Matter we will rename it "Bright Matter"
