Astronomers think there should be 5 times as much dark matter as ordinary matter - a shadow universe that makes up most of the mass in the universe. But after decades of trying, no experiments have found any trace of dark matter - except one.

More like telling a person from the stone age that they might get a shiny surface from heating up certain rocks hot enough. So long as they keep seeing rock after the fact, they will try to better insulate the rock or try to find other samples. When one finally melts, they may see a semi-shiny surface and assume, correctly, that they are close. They will likely then try to perfect smelting techniques to get a better finish/metal over time.

Since we already know of particles that don’t interact with some of the fundamental forces, it makes more sense to me that there’s a particle that simply only interacts with gravity. Like, neutrinos only interact via the weak force and gravity, but we already know a lot about them; I doubt dark matter, if it interacted with either of the nuclear forces, could be so elusive.

But think about if a particle doesn’t interact with anything then it’s literally impossible to detect. If dark matter *only* interacts with gravity but on a minuscule level, then it’s going be incredibly difficult to detect on a small level. We’re only seeing the affects of dark matter on a astronomical level. Meaning it takes a ton of dark matter over a massive area to affect anything.

@Electro-Cute I don't particularly care if dark matter gets thrown out or not. If we can refine general relativity so dark matter becomes unnecessary to explain what we see, GOOD! We've got a better explanation than we do now. If one of these experiments actually pans out and finds the stuff, also good! More interesting things to investigate.

14:14 I'm with this guy, it'd be really exciting if we ended discovering a whole new family of particles, but since they apparently don't interact with each other very strongly, the chance of anything showing up that isn't a fundamental-level particle is low.

I don't know - I'd say we know so little about dark matter at present that we can't rule out some exotic interactions between its particles other than just gravity. The simplest explanation is that it's bland and uniform, but that's not the only solution to what we see...

SCR1BE IV 5 ヶ月 前
@Matthew Plizga Eh but aren't you more likely to avoid getting hit by things too, because you could get out of the way faster? Also consider this: it's a well-known idea that if someone is trying to shoot you, run in a zig-zag, not a straight line. Doesn't matter how fast you run, what makes you an easy/hard target to hit is the direction that you're moving. My point is that there are more factors that can affect how easy of a target Earth is -- not just its speed.
lowkey loki
lowkey loki 5 ヶ月 前
@SCR1BE IV No. Moving faster through space makes you more likely to impact stuff. This is a well established principle, there's plenty of videos and explanations on it with good visuals. Zig-zagging doesn't matter at all, so long as the speed remains constant. Also, meteors don't aim themselves. They just exist in space at some velocity, and if earth exists near them, they will impact earth.

You made me post my first youtube comment. Ever. ;) We use lead from sunken Roman ships. But that's super rare, so it's really only used in the CUORE experiment for some of the shielding, and for soldering stuff in some specialized applications, such as in CRESST. Old iron is too brittle. And copper can be made extremely clean using electrolysis (and even cleaner doing the electrolysis underground)

0:47 The Dama/Libra is under the Gran Sasso mountain chain in Abruzzo, actually it’s the highest mountain in the Appennini. The Alps are located in the northern Italy going from est to west, the Appennini divides Italy in two going from north to south (starting roughly at the border of tuscany and emilia-romagna and ending with the Etna). The lab where the Dama/Libra is locates is called INFS (istituto nazionale fisica nucleare) and they also tested neutrinos’ speed with the CERN in Ginevra. Best regards from Montorio al Vomano, 20 minites away from the mentioned lab!👋🏼

Flying Cars would be made possible too and making heavy objects (like buildings) very light.

i've lived near the italian detector for years and it is absolutely amazing to discover so much time later what did they do and discover inside that laboratory. There is a gallery which passes just trough the gran sasso and in that you can see a door with written "INFN Laboratory". I've always been curious to discover in what is at the other side of the door but it is almost impossible to enter in there whitout any specific pass.

Okay so exposition time from someone who's currently working on dark matter densities. If dark matter does interact with itself, then yes there would be the dark matter equivalent of friction and dark matter would slowly migrate to already dense places in the Universe. This is because friction is the result of particles colliding/interacting and re-distributing their energies, and changing the energy of a particle alters its trajectory. However, we have no evidence (that is significant and that I know of) for this dark matter self-interaction. Think back to the Bullet cluster example. If the dark matter did self-interact significantly, it would have behaved more like the ordinary matter; colliding and getting stuck in the middle. This didn't happen, and instead the dark matter clouds passed through each other completely unfazed. No significant self-interaction means no way of re-distributing energy, and thus dark matter particles don't alter their trajectories once they're on a set path. This means that the only dark matter particles that would end up in singularities, are the ones that were already going to collide with one head-on, and the radius of no escape from a heavy object is very small compared to the rest of the Universe. So yeah, that's why we have dark matter zipping around all over the place.

Yeah "degeneracy pressure." It should be considered a fundamental force (and strong/weak aren't) but they have a model that forces are carried by particles (which they aren't) so it doesn't qualify.

@Paul Thomas Curious, why do you think forces arent carried by particles? And why do you think degeneracy pressure should be a fundamental force when its just an extreme manifestation of the pauli exclusion principle but the Strong/Weak forces shouldnt be fundamental forces when they describe how atoms stay together?

Good one. Thanks! It's refreshing to see more scientists embrace the ideas that we really don't know much now, and are most likely to fully answer so many of the biggest questions. I think the relatively rapid pace of what we consider significant discoveries has given us a new, more open, and healthier perspective on our unavoidable human limitations. It also seems to be bringing back a reverence for our existence, more like our ancient ancestors experienced. What has seemed to us to be backward and elementary is quite the opposite. We've chosen to dominate our environment rather than work in mutually beneficial harmony with it. Our human exceptionalism just tossed aside the importance of our inextricable relationship to literally everything.

This is the literal frontier of science. This video is attempting to explain what we as an entire human race cannot currently explain or understand at the moment. The crazy thing is it only takes one human or other being (who can say really) to encounter this enigma and go oh I know what’s going on here and unravel it all. God I really hope I’m alive to hear the explanation or even better be part of it.

I had a thought, what if dark matterr isn't an object but a field of reality that we just don't know yet. We couldn't figure out why mercury had such a weird orbit. Some thought that maybe there was a planet inside the orbit of mercury. We had just found the last planet because of the same reason. However this was obviously wrong turns out the thing that was missing was relativity by Einstein. I feel that this is very close to what we have now.

My personal layman imagination is that when virtual particles come in and out existence is never really gone (matter that exists for short times inside of vacuum, and that hyper massive particles that exist for short periods of time when destroying atoms) Somehow us destroying atoms can actually turn the dark matter into matter we can actually interact with.

I honestly think there’s an alternate theory of gravity. There’s some constant or something that is negligible or zero in most cases but is inflated based on certain factors ... also because quantum gravity and classical gravity don’t line up. I find it likely we have something wrong there, and it’s probably at the same point.

Gravity might have a lot more than Newtonian mathematics ever covered. What if thousands of massive point sources, or millions... or, yes, billions and billions... act differently together than the assumed point source at the center Which is what Newtonian gravity math basically assumes. The Simple Model, as it were. Also, gravity seems to act odd everywhere, on astronomical scales. What about that?

I'm not really good with physic so could you explain for me, if possible how can black matter transfer its energy to the sodium crystal when earlier in the video you said that dark matter don't interact with matter. And I believe one of your example is when two galaxies collided the heavier part is on both end because dark matter just pass though other ordinary matter. I'm asking this question because I am genuinely curious about the topic, not to complain or anything. Anyway, the video is amazing and have a nice day.

Quick thought: When you mentioned how dark matter only interacts with things through gravity, it got me thinking about the quantum theory of gravity and the theoretical graviton. If we can directly detect dark matter, then it could in theory also prove the existence of the graviton particle and create a quantum theory of gravity.

2 questions: 1. You mention a couple times that the belief is dark matter only interacts with other matter through gravity. The experiment as you describe it seems like an interaction other than gravitational (i.e. the dark matter will "hit" the sodium-iodine). Am I incorrect in thinking that? 2. The special paint coating on the wall in the cavern to contain radon...is that just lead paint?

when he says it doesnt interact with luminous matter it's a simplification, he does touch on what DAMA/LIBRA is actually assuming dark matter is, a WIMP, (Weak interacting massive particle). This assumes that dark matter can interact with regular matter, but does so at such low rates that it is borderline undetectable, thus remaining undiscovered.

sorsocksfake

@rutger5000 To the contrary, that's what the experiment is for. The hypothesis is that it does interact, but extremely rarely. So we wouldn't notice it among all the things that do regularly interact. The experiment takes away all the things that regularly interact, hopefully leaving us with only those weakly interacting things, if they'd be so kind to pop up. Kinda like trying to catch the invisible man stealing our sandwiches by sprinkiing flour all over the room and getting everybody out.

I'm not gonna lie, dark matter really feels like an explanation that could be developed under the Ptolemic model of the universe to describe why some of the orbits didn't match the model before the model itself was found to be wrong. In other words, it has the feeling of a materialist god of the gap.

I'm a PhD candidate working on DM and I think this video was great. I see so much discussion online where people assume scientists are just being narcissistic when we assume DM exists and that it must be like the new version of luminiferous ether theory, because they're not in tune with just *how much* **independent** evidence we have that is cleanly explained by particle DM. My only gripe with the entire video would be that I wish you had mentioned specifically that the idea of a particle "we can't see" or being "dark" isn't absurd in the slightest--I think part of why laypeople have gripes with the idea is that they think it's absurd that we could just posit something "invisible" is there. In reality, we already know of MANY particles that are similarly "invisible"--like neutrinos! In this context, "invisible" just means "doesn't interact with light" which is precisely true of neutrinos, and yet we are bombarded with trillions upon trillions of solar neutrinos every second from the sun. Unfortunately, we are not so lucky that DM is as easy to detect as neutrinos :)
