Is it theoretically possible that dark matter and energy are related and are both manifestations of some underlying field like electromagnetism? This idea has been discussed a bit in terms of the "quintessence" (denoted as Q) scalar field (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintessence_(physics)), but simply as an explanation of the expansion of the universe. If a person wished to explain both dark energy and matter as manifestations of this idea, it would at least have to be a vector field, if not a tensor field or something else. In my view, it would look a little like this:[math]\nabla Q[/math] has solutions that lead to dark energy.[math]\nabla \times Q[/math] has solutions that lead to dark matter and would be equivalent to some sort of phenomenon when energy density has some rotational movement.I don't know, I'm not smart enough to figure that out. But could it work?
>>17059689Not enough experiments to test. First, we must imagine a scenario in which a group of normies is catapulted in the direction of the distant phenomena. What do you think the results would be? Consider the metaphysical implications.
>>17059689What if its the energy of the aether? Basically the aether expands since at its borders there is no energy.
>gravity has infinite rangeso am I influencing some cutie pie ayylmao from a few galaxies away? there has to be a limit. as in practical terms. doesn't my body's gravity fade with distance? there has to be a distance where my body's influence is less than 1 planckmeter/plancksecond^2

>>17060220Why does everyone shit on aether theories? There are modern interpretations like Superfluid Vacuum Theory that you never hear about, but if you read anything about field effect propulsion from credible sources, it's mentioned in the citations page almost every single time.
