Matter isn't unchanging though, so this whole post is fundamentally flawed. For that matter the universe isn't unchanging either.

You are not supposed to belive it blindly, it's the best explanation consistent with other results. No scientists is saying that it's irrefutable, but it works as a model. It's just difficult to deprat from theories like GR, considering how succesful they are at explaining shit. A lot of scientists new that mercury had some weird shit that wasn't explained by Newton, but it was so succesful at explaining other things it became the standard theoretical model of the universe.

Don't listen to popsci you faggot
Things are tru within the framework you want to work in, and it just seems shit has been working for quite some time, but no one is caliming absolute truth.

>observable

>Implying

From what we know of physics even if this percentage is true,all that is not dark matter is already kind expected so there is not point at even looking

...

Expectations are not observations.

Wisdom and intelligence are separate things.

how so?

Congrats on reading Nietzsche for the first time, how was it? Did you read it before or after the god delusion? Is being 15 putting you down?

Nietzche's gay scince doesn't spout this stupid shit.

Except that's not why they call it "dark," and it's certainly not why they call it "matter." They call it "dark matter" because it implies there's actually this entity in the universe that they know anything at all about instead of just a giant hole in the theoretical models.

Wisdom has more to do with understanding civilization/human nature well intelligence has more to do with more practical applications for understanding the world like science and mathematics. A wise person understands more about human need and human nature. They aren't mutually exclusive.

Yea, but no self-respecting teen would anything with Gay int he title. They just read all the anti-semetic hit his sister put out cus True Detective made em do the big dinks.

the other user is more correct and less annoying than you are. congrats, you are making an ass of yourself.

it's called dark because they dont know what it is and it seemingly doesn't interact with electromagnetic waves (i.e. light). it's called 'matter' because it affects things gravitationally.

Yes, it's called dark because they don't know what it is. It's called "matter" because there's a gravitational effect they can't explain and they want to pretend they do.

How about instead of Veeky Forums you go to fucking college if you want to play that card.

I have a masters in astrophysics. Say something correct and compelling that isn't just mincing words and half-truths.

OK:
There is no evidence at all for "dark matter" unless we make it completely tautological with "we don't understand what gravity is doing at large scale." We are taking a question, waving our hands, and pretending it's an answer.

I have an Sc.D in Quantum Universe Modeling. Was this simple enough for you?

> I don't understand what gravity is doing -> mysterious voodoo matter

> I don't understand life -> magic consciousness in sky

i dont understnad the simalarty

fuck you nigga i have a cat and also a barbecue

I think you're putting way too much emphasis on a name and/or you simply don't understand how theoretical physics works.

It's something weird that seems to interact gravitationally. "Dark" because it doesn't interact with light and "Matter" because it seems to interact gravitationally. Only highschool-level youtube videos and infographics make it seem like the scientific community has concluded without further debate that it is 'special' matter. Since it acts similarly to matter, that is a place to start in figuring out what it is.

I get that you knew you'd get laughed off Veeky Forums so you tried it here, but just fuck off.

>implying Veeky Forums isn't mostly HS nerds and homework.

>Because they believed that God is unchanging (not in time) they came to regard created substance as having an unchanging essence.
>This is the foundational assumption used in the modern definitions of physics, most measuring units, scientific methods and mathematical laws.
Except matter isn't unchanging at all. Go to with this shitty bait.

>fuck I hate you, where do you live?

>This is the foundational assumption used in the modern definitions of physics, most measuring units, scientific methods and mathematical laws.
Wrong. It simply resembles many of the assumptions used in modern physics...which even then are often abandoned to define certain phenomenon at extreme scales.

>tips fedora.

>"wise men" have predicted its existence through mathematical formulas

No it interacts gravitationally and they have observed its presence by studying distant colliding galaxies.

>Quantum Universe Modeling
no such thing

1: Observable universe = space contained within the part of universe light can reach us from, dark matter is (supposedly) part of the observable universe

2: "Visible" matter does constitute around 5% of the mass of the universe, but "dark matter" is only supposed to be around 20-25%, with the remaining 70% being dark energy, which, despite the similarity in names, is actually unrelated

3: Dark matter doesn't exist, MoND is correct.

...

what about the laws of physics, are they unchanging as well?

that's a fine ass

Well damn, you got me. I now accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior.
