Our universe, as we know, is expanding and going at an accelerated rate and the galaxies are moving at an enormous speed without their stars being scattered everywhere. However, for phenomena like this to occur, there must be much more matter in the universe than what we see. In fact all the stars and all the galaxies in the universe, explain only five percent of the matter that should exist. The scientists attribute seventy percent to "dark energy", and another twenty-five percent, the scientists believe, is in the form of "dark matter" - a substance whose nature we do not know, because it does not react with radiation, and therefore cannot be seen or felt. Until now, there was no proof of the existence of such a substance, but now, say scientists at the European particle accelerator, the first evidence of its existence has been discovered, with the help of a sophisticated particle detector, (AMS (Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer), which was installed about two years ago on the International Space Station.

Groping in the dark

"There are various theories of dark matter, and another of them says that it is actually a particle with mass in a weak interaction, which is its own anti-particle. When such a particle and an antiparticle interact, they can decay into an electron and an antielectron, known as a positron, and into radiation," explains Professor Yaron Oz, Dean of the Faculty of Exact Sciences at Tel Aviv University. "This detector looks for the positrons at very specific energies. "They sat down and measured these positrons and found a significantly larger number at the right energies, and one explanation is that dark matter collided with other dark matter, and they decayed into these positrons and other radiation. But of course this fact can also be explained in other ways. If there is evidence from several different places, it will be much more significant. At the moment this is the first sign, and perhaps also true, of the existence of dark matter."

Verification is required

One of the ways to try and verify these observations is to look for such signs of dark matter in other places, including on Earth. "If such findings are indeed discovered and the dark matter theory is verified, it will be an amazing result," says Prof. Oz. "This is one of the great mysteries that exist today because we do not know most of the matter in the universe. This will indicate that we have found it, and then it will be possible to explain many phenomena, including the formation of galaxies and the speed of galaxies. Then it will be possible to think about how to produce it in accelerators. It is also possible that just as the matter we know is made up of different types of particles, dark matter is also made up of different particles and this will be a completely new field of research."

As mentioned, the findings published last night are only a first indication of the possible correctness of a complicated and very complex theory. However, about two years after the installation of the giant detector on the space station, at a cost of about two billion dollars, they provide further proof that in science there are no assumptions and shortcuts, and groundbreaking science also costs a lot of money.

  1. You will read well the dark matter from which everything was created. My friend Zohar talks about the dark matter three thousand years ago. This is the substance from which everything was created and it is called in Aramaic Bozina Dekardonita the book of Genesis. I would suggest everyone to read it there.

    You write and I quote:
    "A second reason that justifies the search for dark matter is a logical reason:
    If we don't investigate and look for dark matter, we won't know if it exists or not.
    just no ?
    What do you suggest ? …. Assume in advance that dark matter does not exist.
    That's not how a scientist thinks!
    End of quote.

    I'm not suggesting not to search, but we have to decide when to say: stop!, that's it!. Because you will understand, we have been searching for 80 years for a dark mass whose essence is: "changing the measured results so that they fit Newton's "holy" formula. Eighty years is enough for me to decide that the dark mass does not exist. Do you want me to give you a few more hours? I have no problem with it.
    I wrote a story on the subject about a case that happened in the court of the Turkish Sultanate. For those who want to smile a little at the end of the day, please:

    Glad to hear about your love for Stanislav Lem. I enjoyed reading his story. Perhaps I must point out that each of the twenty solutions is a comprehensive solution. For example, when I claim that one of the possibilities is a letter change in the formula for example G is the gravitation constant, I am not expressing the essence of the change. For example, it is possible to decide that at large distances G will become ten G and another change is also possible. What I am proving is that any possible change in G will not be good enough for our eyes. Likewise, even with the possibility of changing the gravitation formula, there can be many changes, for example at large distances we will use R squared with R to the power of 1.95, but there are many other options. What I am proving is that any solution of changing the gravity formula will not work! This is how I handled twenty options, except for two, all of them fell in the elimination I activated.

    I understand what you're saying and how you got there (by 20 I mean).
    And you are the first to know Lem!!!! I have read some of his stories and he is an amazing man to me. I cited "Solaris" in my thesis - I was looking for an example of a living creature that does not reproduce and except for the flower from The Little Prince, this is the only example I know. I haven't read the book, but I've seen the movie (a bit embarrassing…..)

    Since there is no connection between the movement of the galaxies and the gravitation formula, maybe we should look for another force instead of gravitation because correcting the gravitation formula would not help here.
    for miracles:
    I went from the easy to the long and checked all the options, first changing the letters in the formulas, then I moved to a larger order of magnitude, which is the correction of the formulas themselves, then the replacement of the formulas, then the replacement of the dimension, centrifugal force of the entire universe, a parallel universe/twin higher forces, and finally, on the recommendation of my brother, and under the influence In the book "Solaris" I also introduced the possibility that the galaxy is a living being that likes to move like this. Trust me that includes all possibilities including God. There are twenty options. You can see an excerpt in my lecture on YouTube.
    If anyone sees another option - I'd be happy!
    I'll just reveal miracles to you in secret that I'm working now on the twenty-first option but don't tell anyone because I'm not sure it exists (:))
    Good Day

    What I am saying is simple. You offered 20 options. You have to prove that there are exactly 20. Otherwise, how will we think that there isn't another possibility that we didn't think of?

  7. Lesbadramish Yehuda.
    You write that:
    "...in fact any connection between the rotation speed of the galaxy and the gravitation formulas is purely coincidental! At the estimated speed according to Newton..."
    But the conclusion you draw is wrong:
    "...and since we have a discrepancy between what was calculated according to Newton and what was found in the field, what had to be done was to replace the formula..."
    Does it make sense to formulate different gravitation laws for each and every galaxy?

    A second reason that justifies the search for dark matter is a logical reason:
    If we don't investigate and look for dark matter, we won't know if it exists or not.
    just no ?

    What do you suggest ? …. Assume in advance that dark matter does not exist.
    That's not how a scientist thinks!

  9. Mr. Nissim
    I did not understand
    Please don't mince words
    Give an example or two so I know what's wrong with my enumeration of all the possibilities
    I would appreciate it if someone else could explain

    Just as the writer of the article on the holocaust took an experiment that suits his eyes, I also take the same experiment because it suits my eyes. The fact that it was taken for an article dealing with the Holocaust does not mean that it should not be taken in other subjects. It was said there that we always strive to be part of the consensus. To conclude that I did something wrong is complete nonsense. This was also true for Galileo, Giordano Bruno, Copernicus and others who existed long before the Holocaust, who precisely did not want to be part of the consensus and suffered because of it.
    It would be different if I said that there are at least six million proofs that something is wrong with God. In this case I associate it with the Holocaust and mean it.
    Good Day

  12. Honorable Sabdarmish Yehuda, I try to answer you with great respect, although I will use an uncivilized word with you, forgiveness and forgiveness,
    The exciting topic that you mentioned above, even though you gave an example from the Holocaust for an article about dark matter, is called in the professional language:
    "Monkeys"
    And it appears a lot in the context of going back in time, thank you very much, blowing water

  13. Miracles
    I just read the article about the holocaust here in Bidan and saw the harsh reactions of all of you. But for our eyes
    In the first experiment in the Holocaust article there was an important conclusion, and I quote:
    "From similar experiments they have done, it appears that if there is a general agreement about something, a consensus, we will be very afraid not to be part of this consensus. Most of us will choose to go with the agreement of the majority and not stand alone, even if it is clear that the majority is wrong." End quote.
    I think that's how it is in science too. I can show countless proofs of incorrectness and yet the majority will choose the accepted opinion. Just food for thought.
    Still waiting for the definition of the philosopher's syndrome

    What is the philosopher syndrome? Then I will know what I am accused of (:))

    I built the options from the light to the heavy, I started from mistakes in the parts of the formulas until I made mistakes in the entire universe, and I even introduced the possibility of delusions and reached twenty possibilities. I can't believe I left out an option but maybe. I will call you after the Anaheim and Moffat test

    All in good spirits 🙂
    And now - full disclosure on my part... I looked at your video and saw that you talk about the rotation of galaxies. I was looking for material on this topic, and I came across these scientists. I read about them and saw that they are well-known physicists, and that they also have different theories on the subject.

    What bothered me was the determination of "20". It gave me an idea that Dennett called "the Sanidrome of the philosophers": what I cannot imagine then necessarily does not exist.

    I'm sure you understand the subject itself much better than I do, and the theory you propose is not unreasonable.

  17. Dear Lenisim....submissively
    I came up with a simple solution and went to Google in Hebrew and what I found was exactly Mannheim and Moffat dealing with socialism and communism.
    In light of your difficult response (to say the least) I entered Google again and this time in English and indeed they exist and are completely cosmological.
    I apologize, I will read them and respond. It seems to me that they are talking about gravitation which is one of the twenty possibilities.
    We hope you will forgive the misunderstanding
    Humbly
    Thank you and return Yeruham!

  18. Sabdarmish Yehuda
    You're just rude. Both of these men are well-known physicists.
    You are talking nonsense and I have to prove????
    Bye!!!

  19. Miracles
    I went to Wikipedia to see who Moffat and Mannheim are and I saw that they are just people who dabbled in socialism and are not of our concern at all. If you don't prove to me that they belong to our interests, I will conclude that you just confused my head, and you must be enjoying the fact that you are bothering others. In that case, I will no longer address your comments and suggest others not to address you.
    For your attention, my father.
    Good night
    Sabdarmish Yehuda

  20. Sabdarmish Yehuda
    What bothered me was your very assertion that there are exactly 20 options. I'm sure you know other options too. What about Moffat's theory? What about Mannheim's theory?

  21. for miracles
    There are many who disagree with the dark mass explanation.
    Overall, I show an analysis of all the possibilities for explaining the inequality in spiral galaxies (20). From which I reach a conclusion by the method of elimination. You can disagree with the conclusions and I would be happy if you show me where the failure is.
    good evening
    Sabdarmish Yehuda
    .

  22. Sabdarmish Yehuda
    So you say there are 2 theories. One that is accepted by many scientists and this is yours. Now - the article here gives additional confirmation to the first theory.

    In addition, your YouTube link is unconvincing, to say the least. The very fact that you define that there are exactly 20 possible explanations, and the rate at which you dismiss them all doesn't seem right to me.

  23. The way I understand the reason for dark matter or in other words the play of gravity:
    Our universe is cyclical in time, and the force of gravity is circular and cyclical in time as well, as the size tends to zero the force becomes infinite and is reduced to zero area - where the circularity of time reverses. And in the farthest part the circularity of time reverses again and therefore the properties of gravity come into play. Thanks

  24. I don't understand why you are drawn to biasing the comments in a direction that is not related to the article.
    And about the article itself
    The dark mass is an attempt to change the data measured in the field to fit the formula. And I will explain.
    About eighty years ago they discovered that spiral galaxies rotate faster than what follows from Newton's gravitation formula. In fact, any connection between the rotation speed of the galaxy and the gravitation formula is purely coincidental! There are galaxies that rotate at a speed ten times faster than calculated, for example the Milky Way, Andromeda and more, there are some that rotate ten thousand times faster than the Nimmeter, for example small satellite galaxies that rotate around the Milky Way, and there is even one galaxy - M94 that rotates exactly at the estimated speed according to Newton. And since we have a discrepancy between what was calculated according to Newton and what was found in the field, what had to be done was to replace the formula. But what is happening is actually the hype and "bending" the findings in the field and "obliging" them to conform to Newton's "sacred" formula. The bending is done by arbitrarily adding mass (dark mass) in the required amount. There is a huge reluctance to cancel Newton's gavitation formula at the great cosmological distances, distances that are a hundred million times greater than the solar system where the formula is proven, and even distances that are trillions of times greater than in the solar system.

  25. Nissim, I will help you, or rather I will help Yossi.
    The mistake in all your claims that they do not strengthen Yossi's claims.

    Definately not. I've tried to tell you this many times. I will try again. Tell me which clause you disagree with.

    1. If the 3 conditions of variation, competition and heredity are met then there will inevitably be evolution
    2. The 3 conditions exist on Earth from the moment DNA (or RNA, doesn't matter at the moment) was created.

    That should convince anyone…..

    Now let's look at the evidence:
    1. All life forms we know are DNA based.
    2. All fossil evidence confirms evolution. We see, for example, that earlier creatures are simpler. We see that the distribution of fossils in the world is suitable for the development of evolution (for example - there are no kangaroo fossils in the Ararat mountains.... 🙂
    3. All biology we know shows a common origin.

    Again - show me in which section I am wrong. I don't want to write too long, but I have a lot to write 🙂

  27. Miracles!
    The landing on the moon is a figure of the first order of magnitude.
    The theory of evolution is a theory that tries to find a connection between many different data (there are no disagreements about the existence of the data) based on similarities between some of the data. and based on the hypothesis that all species evolved from one source.

  28. Yossi Simon
    In your opinion - the fact that they landed on the moon in 1969 is only a hypothesis??

  29. If the dark matter, of which little is known today and there are different theories about it and about its influence, then the question arises, on what basis do people definitively state, for example, that the theory of evolution is certain and correct and not just a hypothesis?
    In particular, there is a claim that dark matter affects gravity.
    And another question, why is such an important issue not making headlines in the media?
