Dark matter is out there?

Question

how would scientists get their hands on dark matter?

Answer 1

koggit has a good analysis of the problem. I think he has a good understanding. But think about this - the newest concern is that there is "dark energy" postulated because of the expansion constant not being constant. Why should we be suprised because we all know that matter and energy are the same. e = m x (a constant)

Answer 2

Do you mean black holes?

Black holes make scientists  @!??!Â¥%?!! When they think about them.

Black hole is concentration of a great mass in a very small volume.

For ex: if all the matter of the earth was concentrated in a volume of a tennis ball , it would be a black hole.

There's such a strong gravity around the black hole that it doesn't allow even photons (light) to escape from it's surface , so if no light is coming from there , you don't see anything there . Thats why they are black holes.

It would rip apart any matter which enters it's gravity field.

Such a great gravitational power makes the 3-dimentions to bend there , it makes the time to go slower.

I think the brains of the mankind hasn't got that capacity to deal with such things.  

Answer 3

There's no answer to how scientists might get their hands on dark matter until we learn exactly what it is.

Answer 4

In my opinion, it is unlikely that "dark matter" even exists.

Scientists believe dark matter may exist because, in observing the orbits of stars and galaxies, and analyzing the amount of mass in those systems, it appears there must be far more mass than we're observing.  The motion of the galaxies are not consistent with predictions made by our understanding of gravity.

Dark matter, if it exists, may explain those orbits.  "Dark matter" is just something with mass that we don't know about.  It may just be 'invisible', it may be in another dimension, we don't really know.  In my opinion, rather than dark matter existing to justify our current understanding of gravity, it is more likely that our current understanding of gravity is flawed (it's also inconsistent with rock solid quantum theory).

Answer 5

In my opinion it's impossible to touch dark matter. Think of it, well... of course.
