This series is going to be me expressing all the science-y things I like to geek out on. From new technologies to the latest discoveries in science, how I feel about them and why it gets my geek on.
Today I find myself particularly interested in Dark matter. Now, If your not fimlir "Dark Matter" is basically gravity that cant be accounted from mass. In other words we have NO IDEA what it is, and it makes up around 70% of our Universe. So when I say we have no idea what it is, doesn't mean we can't say what it might be. I theory about dark matter that I like to subscribe to is the idea that Dark Matter is just regular matter, but who's influence (gravitational pull) is transcending from another universe. This ties into the multiverse theory, where you have multiple or even infinite universes.
I find this theory very intriguing, one because it give he multiverse theory more merit and two, because its just seriously cool. The reason its unaccounted for gravity is because there isn't any corresponding mass to account for the gravitational pull holding galaxies together. When we build a model of a galaxy and put it together with only the mass of the matter we can account/calculate for, it falls apart. The galaxies get ripped apart because they are moving too fast and theres not enough mass to hold them together.
Awesome stuff I highly recommend youbtubing some of this stuff, Neil Degrasse Tyson has some pretty cool videos on it. Also on that note listen to his podcast Star Talk Radio, great stuff.
Stay Geeky, til next time.
