Is dark energy an ad hoc solution because the calculations don't fit instead of something that exist?Basically like a made up lie sciece invented.
>>16817521>ad hocJust read this term for the first time in a book and now I immediately see it on the latest post on /sci/Coincidence? I've had enough of this simulation
>>16817521what's the difference?if the calculations don't fit, it means we don't know shitif dark matter is real, it means we don't know shit
>>16817535If equations aren't valid, then our understanding of the universe is fundamentally broken.If dark matter is real, then we're just missing a little information about one aspect of the universe.It's honestly not far fetched that some matter wouldn't interact with the electromagnetic field or nuclear forces. So this knee-jerk disregard of dark matter is a little bit grug. Though it's certainly odd that so much of matter takes this form.
>>16817541>95% of the universe>a little information
>>16817549Well first off I misread OP as asking about dark matter because I'm illiterate. Second off: yeah dark energy just explains why the universe is expanding. We don't know its source but that is a pretty small amount of information we're missing. Answer that one question and it's accounted for. How much of the universe it makes up is irrelevant insofar as what piece of the puzzle we're missing.
>>16817561dark matter + dark energy is 95% of the universe anonthat's not a little thing we are missingit's the vast majoritywe don't know ANYTHING about what happens in the "dark" part of the universe, except that it also has gravity and it doesn't interact with light, that's what the dark part meansthe thing is in our "visible" universe light is a fundamental thing that we had assumed is universalour theories are all based on lighthell everything we know is based on lighteven spacetime itselfthe dark universe could have a million different things happening in itscientists opinions range from "it's just a halo of cold particles" to "there could be forces like our own, like dark electromagnetism and such, that don't use light" to "it could be an unknown shadow realm where nothing we know applies"there could literally be a shadow civilization right here on Earth developing besides us and we wouldn't even know it.
>>16817575Is dark matter the spritual world?
>>16817575Meds. Also reading comprehension. Light being "fundamental" or "the basis of everything" is incoherent.I repeat: how much of the universe is made up of the stuff is irrelevant to how much we know about it. If you didn't know what nitrogen was, you could still learn a lot about your atmosphere. There'd just also happen to be this ~70% "other shit" that you don't quite understand.
>>16817521Isnt it just an observation? >observations no match calulation>equation make observation match calculation>give it fancy name>get Nobel prize
>>16817584heh just had the same thought anonyeah sure it could be where ghosts and spirits and such resideit could also be the gate to "magic"if light doesn't work there, almost nothing doesthat means FTL travel could be possible (science fiction tier)or even actual magic like teleportation or time travel, or anything really, since most things depend on light (pure fiction tier)
>>16817549its just a small accounting error goy
>>16817521>>16817575>>16817605Telling normies about physics was a mistake.
>>16817525Didn't have a PSP with ad hoc wireless...
>>16817521If the placeholder of dark matter works, then it doesn't matter for now
Reminder to the new friends that dark matter is well understood and well observed. It is matter that doesn't emit electromagnetic radiation, hence is invisible to telescopes. It's that fucking simple.
>>16817706Your mistake was trying to build a model while having very little data, which led to things like this thread or Webb discovering galaxies older than your model predicted. God is laughing at you people and adding stuff whenever you build one more telescope.
>>16817706>normiesI'm a certified schizo dudeI'm hearing voices and seeing hallucinationsWhere do you think they come from?The dark universe obviouslyI'm astounded that I didn't make this connection beforeUnconscious mind = "Dark" mindThe conscious mind sees the "light" universe and the unconscious the dark universeIt's painfully obvious if you aren't a limited normie like yourself
>>16817521I believe the word you are looking for is kludge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kludge One theory is that dark matter is neutrinos, they're very plentiful but difficult to detect. Don't know about dark energy, sounds like a kludge.
yea its a placeholder for wtf we have no idea
>>16817521Its not a solution, its a problem
Is you anon in the post grads, you are the source
