• Why Is Dark Matter Research So Biased?

    From Robert L. Oldershaw@21:1/5 to All on Mon Dec 14 17:11:09 2015
    It is scientifically desirable to include stellar scale dark matter candidates, such as stellar-mass and planetary-mass ultracompact objects, in discussions of the quest for the identity of the enigmatic dark matter comprising the overwhelming majority
    of matter in the cosmos.

    After 40 years of failed attempts to find the ad hoc "WIMPs", or any other form of subatomic dark matter particles, maybe it is time to completely reassess what the dark matter might be.

    Mike Hawkins has offered a cogent empirically-supported case for stellar-mass and planetary-mass ultracompacts (with primordial black holes being the most likely candidates) as the mystery objects causing microlensing events seen in bulge, halo and QSO
    research. [papers available for free: http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.3875 and http://arxiv.org/abs/1503.01935 ].

    A huge population of primordial black holes satisfies the non-baryonic constraint, might also explain where cosmic rays primarily come from, and might explain why the ARCADE-2 experiment found a unexplained factor-of-6 excess in cosmological radio
    emission. Primordial black holes also might constitute the sources of the approximately 6,000/day Fast Radio Bursts that have been discovered/inferred in the last few years by several astrophysical research groups (Science News, Aug. 9, 2014 issue; many
    papers subsequently posted to arxiv.org).

    It is a scientific error to assume, as most theoretical physicists do, that the dark matter absolutely must be composed of hypothetical subatomic particles. A scientist maintains an open mind, in word and deed. Moreover, a scientist does not condone
    denial of important and confirmed empirical results.

    Not long ago microlensing research (MOA group) identified at least 0.1 trillion unbound planetary-mass objects in unknown physical states (Suni et al, Nature, May, 2011).

    Astrophysicists have discovered an estimated 70 billion brown dwarf objects in the thin disk of the Galaxy. Since the thin disk represents a very small fraction of the Galaxy's volume, one can be reasonably sure that 70,000,000,000 is a lower limit.

    So let's see: trillions of unbound planetary-mass nomads and >70 billion brown dwarfs and 100s of billions of stellar-mass MACHO objects. That's a significant percentage of the total dark matter population, and it is a minimum estimate!

    Can we understand why theoretical physicists and the scientific press ignore observed stellar scale dark matter candidates, and only emphasize mythical particles like WIMPs and axions that have never been observed? It seems like a dubious and
    unscientific obsession.

    There are a lot of excuses about not detecting gravity waves as well. Why would you build a $100 million dollar machine that you knew was not sensitive enough to detect such waves. Now they are saying oh,if we spend $100 million more we will be able to
    detect them. That's not so sure. There are 2 things MIA. There is the grim misfortune though that humans are able to make atomic weapons. Which is like giving a 3 year old child a loaded gun to play with.

    Sparticles have also been missing for decades.

    Magnetic monopoles have been missing for decades.

    Bold questioning of assumptions has been missing for decades.

    We are way overdue for paradigm change.

    Hey, it's neat that gravity waves are real and have been detected. I guess clown comments about topics I don't know anything about are not the most sensible option.

    Well, Bob Lazar already seemed to know that gravity is projected in a
    wave...

    ;^)

    FWIW, here is a very crude online 2d gravitational field line generator:

    I am almost ready for a 3d one in WebGL.

    An interesting gravitational field rendering I managed to reap generates
    the fairly interesting rendering:

    Well, it kind of resembles some sort of alien craft, lol!
