All I really know on the subject is that it's merely a type of matter that we cannot see, but has been guessed at existing because of an abundance of otherwise unexplained gravity in the universe.

That's what wikipedia explains it as, but I was taught that wikipedia isn't a trusted source.


If what you say is right (and you weren't looking off of wikipedia) then I'm going to use wikipedia as the reference for the explanation of dark matter.

Hate to say it but...Wikipedia can actually be helpful in situations like this, gives many different theories (good or bad) about these topics. Just keep an eye out for entries that look fake/made-up/nonsensical.

My head has just exploded and I thank you very much.

The simplest/best fucking explanation I've ever seen. So proud to be a part of /sanc/ right now.

What grade are you in? Are there underageB&s for /sanc/?

>dark matter and parallel dimensions

Sometimes, because the distance or because the light of stars / other galactic interference, astronomers can't literally see some things in the universe, but they can calculate the existance and position of them

Think for example in the gravitational field of a moon and it's relation with a planet, you don't need to see the gravity to know it's there, it's mesurable and they can calculate the field

Well, having this in mind... imagine that you calculate the energy caused by the mass of all the celestial bodies you know... and finding that the space is terribly empty, it's impossible to have all the energy we have (in the context of the universe) with so little mass. The answer was a theory

Theoretical matter, invisible to normal means, (including radiation from it) but with gravity, an effect you can mesure, now that's the dark matter

Now, about the relation between dark matter and parallel dimensions... well I have no f'in idea

Sauce on OP's pic?

I'll keep and teach the topics separate on dark matter and parallel dimensions seeing as (from all the evidence) they can't really be related, unless somebody tells me otherwise.

It's on Wikipedia because that's what it is. But no, I didn't use it. It's a pretty well known theory.

Anyhow, use it as a source for information. Wikipedia has gone through tons of independent verifications and it is regarded as having about a 99.9% accuracy overall, with most inaccuries/un-cited info being fixed or removed within a very short period of time.

lol krzycrazy!

The presentation was successful. I didn't get a chance to film it seeing as my fellow presenter forgot the video camera. I'll probably be making a video on my presentation at a later time.


I thank you guys very much, I have learned so much, and so have my peers! :D
