"What is dark matter?"

well turn the lights off... and matter is now dark.

"What is light matter?"

lights on, abra cadabra, matter is now light.

I don't think it is the matter reacting to us, rather our consciousness affecting it without us knowing. I believe the human mind to be one of the most powerful forces in the universe and having the capacity to control matter at will.

it accounts for like 90% of the matter in each galaxy? maybe 95%...i think it has been identified by gravitational lensing

and this

it says 90%, but in our solar system, if dark matter takes up 90% of all mass in the solar system, then why would others say 99.99% of our solar system's mass is from our sun?

AFAIK there is supposed to be about 4x more dark matter than there is regular matter, and then dark energy makes up 75% of the universe's mass-energy. So that puts regular matter around 5% and dark matter around 20%.


the last i read on the astrological model, dark matter+energy = 94% of the universe.

is that no longer the case? i've been pretty busy these last few months

Since mass = energy, could they be converted into dark matter? So dark matter is simply a different state of mass/energy.

If mass = energy then energy = mass... But I thought energy = mass * light^2

What I suppose he means is 'Mass is potential energy, energy is released mass'.

And yes, if there is dark matter, there will also be dark energy.

Dark matter is both there and not there. The same way matter is both there and not there.

Dark matter only exists when conscious beings look into space and experience it visually.

biocentrism! bob berman has a few youtube videos about it and a brand new book about it.

i think he's alluding to a ridiculous proposition that briefly had "merit" if you can call it that, when physicists first discovered the wave collapse phenomenon

look over the evidence of this then try to disprove it. good luck.

i realize it sounds crazy and doesnt seem possible, but that is science. you cannot ask yourself what is the most likely explanation, instead look at the data collected from experimentation then make a decision.

how can that be true when the universe has been around since before man and the universe requires it to function. (asking from the pov of someone who has accepted the current astrological model)
