Something From Nothing

[CherubRam]

Dark Matter is undifferentiated material which has no atomic bonds, this would make it of no particular substance. In other words, it is Nothing. And if you are willing to accept it, it is primordial, and God's store house for creating the universe from "Nothing."

First, I need to see and touch some dark matter.

 

[chrysostom]

it is not
something from nothing
it is all an illusion of a non dual nature
but
it is still real
so
what you see as creation
is
just a morphing of something that already exists

Perhaps, but it has no atomic structure to define it. How else would a person who lived many years ago describe it?

Scientists don't know what 'dark matter' is. And neither do you.

 

[ok doser]

it's a theoretical construct to make high level macro physics equations work


think of it as a mega fudge factor


mmmmmmmm, fudge

 

[CherubRam]

Scientists don't know what 'dark matter' is. And neither do you.

Dark Matter is accepted by the mainstream scientific community. The existence and properties of dark matter are inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, on radiation, and on the large-scale structure of the universe. The presence of dark matter in the universe, including gravitational lensing of background objects by galaxy clusters such as the Bullet Cluster, the temperature distribution of hot gas in galaxies and clusters of galaxies and, more recently, the pattern of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background. According to cosmologists, dark matter is composed primarily of a not yet characterized type of subatomic particle.

with its attributes

Give us an example of how a person living more than 2000 years ago would describe it?

 

[CherubRam]

Job 26:7
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

We now know that the world is suspended by gravity. Did people living thousands of years ago know there was a force called gravity?

Right, so we have no idea what it actually is. And in fact have only recently become aware of it existing at all. So it would be quite foolish to use it as proof of some philosophical proposition.

We are able to see it with special equipment.
Philosophy is for Bozo's, and a term destined for the garbage can. How wise was Philo for believing in gods made of wood and stone?

It isn't nothing. It interacts gravitationally with the rest of the Universe, ergo it has mass, ergo it can't be "nothing". And we also don't know that it doesn't have atomic bonds. It isn't thought to bond with the matter that we're more familiar with, but we just don't know a lot about what it actually is.

 

[ok doser]

again, it's a fudge factor


did any of you guys actually do science?



research "correction factors"

:think:

or splines - that was one of my basic tools when i was doing stats work - playing with splines

"What do you want the data to look like?"
"How many inflection points can I use?"

 

[chrysostom]

It isn't nothing.

is a hologram nothing?

 

[ok doser]

We are able to see it with special equipment.

we're able to see effects that we attribute to the construct we call "dark matter"

 

[chrysostom]

we're able to see effects that we attribute to the construct we call "dark matter"

all you have to do is name it
and
then argue about what it is

 

[ok doser]

i know what it is

it's a fudge factor to make their equations work

 

[rexlunae]

is a hologram nothing?

No. And also: huh?
