Dark Matter... a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle or WIMP? Maybe it's Information. (Page 1/1) rinselberg NOV 17, 03:19 PM quote Originally posted by cvxjet: I just want to chime in with one of my...Pet peeves; To me, the whole Dark Matter thing is big bunch of BS- They had a problem with gravity not being consistent over large distances, so they came up with "Dark Matter".....Solved that one problem, but created a number of other problems, so they had to come up with secondary concept; "Dark Energy"......and that has created other problems. That alone would make me doubt it...But they have been trying for decades to prove "Dark Matter" with no success whatsoever! Another scientist came up with a different hypothesis..."Gravity varies over very long distances"...he has tested his hypothesis a number of times and it has always worked out. Dark matter.....Dark energy....next, they need to come up with "Dark magic"... So how is it that a New Topic starts with quoting another forum member? I remembered that post from another recent thread. So I went and got it as a setup for this. There's a new article from the Institute of Art and Ideas or the IAI. "A new particle won't solve dark matter" quote Dark matter may be information itself Melvin Vopson for IAI; November 16, 2022. https://iai.tv/articles/a-n...auid-2307?_auid=2020 The article posits that "Information" should be considered a state or phase of ordinary matter, alongside the states of Solid, Liquid, Gas and Plasma. It's not a research report. It's written for the general audience, although it has a list of "science heavy" references at the end. I would say it's about as long as two or three pages of text from a commonly formatted textbook of some kind. There's one data visualization in the form of a graph of "X vs Y". There are connections, in terms of research, with the University of Portsmouth in England. Artist's impression of a "digital blueprint" for the Universe maryjane NOV 17, 08:12 PM matrix
