- How is it possible that you can't see 95% of the universe? The edge of our milky way defies known physics, so physicists are using the LHC at CERN to search for Dark Matter.
Dianna Cowern from Physics Girl visited CERN and spoke to theoretical physicists about Dark Matter.

I love stuff like this. I wasn't the only kid in the 60's to ask the geography teacher why the continents looked like a jigsaw puzzle. I wasn't the only student in physics to ask how come there are spiral galaxies when the solar system is not spiral at all. Even in my degree, they insisted that proteins denatured at high temps when you can clearly see the green slime in Iceland and Yellow Stone.

Good joke. I will have to remember that one
Thanks for the explanation. It really helped my understanding. However, the one question no one seems to address is how we know that the galaxies are spinning faster than they should be? How do we measure the speed of rotation of a galaxy? How do we measure their total mass and the mass of the inner and outer stars? What is the difference? What is the variation of results when multiple galaxies are compared?
Earth has to send them a speeding ticket !
@@malcolmhardwick4258 I suppose they measure the relative red shifts of known atomic bands on both sides of the galactic centre - I think that would work for a galaxy with an axis not pointing directly at us. Like measuring Hubble's constant except only looking at changes in speeds across a chosen galaxy.
Great Question Jon. Whats the difference in the rotational variation against the calculated mass of a given galaxy.
You can measure the speed by observing the stars' motion relative to the center, and the mass based on the orbit relative to the center.
The last part though, I think is what the woman in the video was saying, where dark matter is anywhere from non-existent in some galaxies, to 95% of the mass in others. So I guess the leading theory is it varies from galaxy to galaxy (?).
i think relativity best explains how this speed can be measured
In the mythos of the original Star Wars continuity, there is a bubble that surrounds the Star Wars galaxy, this bubble is known as the circumferential hyperspace barrier and prevents travel outside of the galactic boundary.

"Is it possible we don't understand gravity?" Here is the question. There is a hole in modern physics, and it is filled with the idea of 'Dark Matter'.
Good question! That hole can only be filled with the acceptance of god in science by the scientific community! Only then the we will move beyongd this dead end of ignorance and a new era of physics will open it doors! Its the only way forward but it goes against all norms! Lets see it wouldn’t be in our life times I guess
@@abutorab1004 religion is the only thing in our world that is not related to science at all, so yeah that’s not the answer because it’s not scientific and can’t be measured scientifically in any way.

Yep. Like the old "Phlogiston" theory of combustion.
At age 32, bog down by the responsibility and demands of society I kinda forgotten how it felt to be amazed by science.

The picture of the galaxy you posted on this show, is neat! I like M-33; i think galaxies are so cool. They resemble whirlpools, tornadoes, and hurricanes, i think there's a strong relevance there.
My favorite galaxy might be M81, which is some 11.7 light years distant. Hence we are seeing it as it was long before there were any humans on the earth-when our remote ancestors were little more than arboreal apes.
Really admire your work. Never been a student of physics but still find your videos interesting. Love from India. Keep up! 😊

If you think the edge of the galaxy defies known physics, just imagine how much the edge of the universe defies known physics. Could you even see it if you were standing at the edge? boggling
"The edge of the universe"?.. The universe has an edge??🙃
Well, that's the ultimate question, isn't it?
If you believe that the universe is finite and created from a big bang event, then it must have delimiting boundaries, perhaps on one side being the universe, and on the other being nothing at all, not even space. Or, more likely, does space wrap around so that the other side of the boundary is actually a continuation from the other side of the universe? Like the globe of the earth, could you get to one side of the universe by actually traveling in the opposite direction to your ultimate destination? In such a case, the universe would indeed seem infinite.
The Universal “Edge” is a very tricky subject.
The big bang isn’t expansion from a single point, like that of a Baloon.
But it’s more thought of as the expansion of an area on the *surface* of the balloon.
tThat means the Universe isn’t expanding from a single point, but everywhere at once, all the time, at a rate that’s increasing every second.
The “Edge” of the Universe is the Edge of “Our” Universe/The Universe we can see. The Universe is most definitely larger than we can see. What we call the Edge is just the edge of what we are able to see.
Think of the Edge as the Render Distance of a video game like Minecraft.
Yes, Im not referring to the the edge of the 'known universe', that which we simply cannot see beyond, but rather the edge that started out in the big bang and delimits the actual edge of the entire universe. Is it possibly true that the universe is unbound, and that there may not be an edge, the universe actually looping back upon itself, meaning that if you were to continue traveling in the same direction would you eventually arrive at your starting location?
Space may indeed have been concentrated in a single point at the time of the Big Bang, which would explain the Cosmic Microwave Background. I'm inclined to believe that the universe is not infinite, as infinity is a purely mathematical concept that really has no examples in reality. Again, boggling.
When the LHC is done with its primary mission, they should use it to crack walnuts.

Dark matter is comprised primarily of odd socks and coat hangers.
And 10mm sockets.
And tupperware lids
@@nasonguy 10mm sockets? No wonder they haven't found it.
wunnell
Plectrums too.
And biro tops.
I wonder if faster 'time' rather than faster speeds could be anything to do with what you are seeing if the universe appears to be spinning faster than it's calculated mass appears to be, so you don't really need any more matter to explain the speeds you think you are observing. It's a calculation taking into account the affects of mass and gravity on time that you need.
At relativistic speeds , perceived mass increases in proportion to the energy input. So you are probably correct
That would be an idea to make sense, but only if the stars near the center appeared like they were moving slower than they should be. Because our time frame should be faster than theirs.
I'm pretty sure some physicists already had the same idea but they found a way to prove it wrong
@@Henning_S. yes ..i expect that's true
I first learned about this when I was 14, and I was excited that something hadn't been discovered yet and I would get to eventually learn what it was. I'm 41 now, and still waiting.

I love how you showed a clip of a vehicle digging when you said "...looked for dark matter here on Earth". I know it was probably them digging to make something like the LHC, but I just can't stop picturing scientists with little gold-pans sifting through all the dirt going "Nope, no dark matter in this pan" all day
That would mean an actual particle has to be produced, when it's math and speculation one can keep coming up with new ideas ad nauseum without having to evidence one's "discoveries".
i find the videos on this channel so interesting, i should really watch more of them.
I read a long time ago that there was a quantum foam made up of virtual particles in empty space. The theory stated some particles might escape from their virtual state which might add mass to the universe, which might also add gravity and energy. I believe that is where so called zero point energy came from. Just a thought.

Brief mention of dark energy as a whole other can of worms - can we have a video on it please?
@Toughen Up, Fluffy Try the Entropic Gravity theory of Erik Verlinde.
You need to hear him explain it many times before you understand it. Lol
@Toughen Up, Fluffyedit: just realized you were talking about conversion between dark energy and dark matter.
No, dark energy and dark matter are completely different things. Astronomers gave the name "dark matter" to objects that have mass, but do not interact with light. They gave the name "dark energy" to whatever phenomenon/property/entity that is causing the expansion of space itself to accelerate.
So yes, the naming was arbitrary. There is no reason to believe they are convertible, or even related at all.
Dark Energy seems to be matter and the fabric of space falling into a black hole from another universe. The increasing mass and speed of matter falling into the other universe's black hole may be why the expansion of this universe is accelerating. This universe may be a white hole, and is the 'other side' of a black hole.
Dark MATTER may be explained by gravity being not uniform. My explanation: Gravity is explained by the strong and weak nuclear forces leaking through from countless other universes. These other universes have changing fundamental forces, causing planets and matter itself to disintegrate in almost all of them. This gradient of disintegrated matter in these other universes causes particles in our U to move toward the higher concentration of particles. So, near the edge of galaxies, there is a bigger large-scale gradient of other universe's matter, vs closer to the center of a galaxy.
- A youtube commenter.
@@FLPhotoCatcher wow, thats a bit arbitrary.
FLPhotoCatcher If the universe has different phisics, why would it form also galaxies?
Or if it doesn’t have gravity, how does it form a black hole? If it forms a black hole, why is it leaking to this universe convinient places? If the other universe has gravity, where is it getting it?
Gravity was already present after the Big Bang. So the other universes formed black holes faster to pump stuff over here?

@@williamchamberlain2263 Exactly. A misleading oversimplification.
Wonderful video. Toward the end, Physics Girl said: "I'm still hung up on the fact that we can only see five percent of our universe."
As a species, maybe our "seeing" is limited. We know that animals have a keener sense of smell than humans. Maybe our sense of sight is just as limited.
From all the discourse on "dark matter" I have read about, the concept strikes me as being just a label for that which we do not understand. Couldn't we just as easily call it "dark chocolate"? And I further wonder whether dark "matter" is actually the same thing as dark "energy", but just in a slightly different form.
Agreed. With our use of detectors for non-visible light, we shouldn't be surprised that there are still things we can't "see".
And "Dark Matter" is one of these two things:
(1) Matter that exists (holds galaxies together, gravitational lensing, etc.) but we haven't figured out how to detect; or,
(2) an indication that our theories on what matter and energy are are wrong, and that it's not a lack of matter that muck up our expectations of galaxy observations.
@@my-back-yard " I consider myself a materialist, but I don't like that term because it implies that we know what matter is". Sir Roger Penrose :)
In response to your last sentence, all known matter is the same thing as energy just in a slightly different form, so yeah.
I'm also curious if this has something to do with why so far we are not detecting any other verifiable advanced civilizations in the observable universe. The argument has always been that we should be detecting radio waves if there were other civilizations because that seems the most likely way that any would be communicating, at least through a major portion of their history. It could be like Star wars or Star Trek out there but they are using some other form of communication and our species just can't detect it. Maybe other life forms are even invisible or noncorporreal from our point of view.
I definitely prefer "dark chocolate." At least it's delicious!

@@JG-mp5nb Close! It's really an Electric Universe! Electricity is 39 times more attracting than gravity. And there is a theory that gravity is a property of electricity, that is still being researched. Also, electricity repels, as well as attracts, which can explain why cosmic structures, like galaxies, retain their structures over time. Electricity also has a dark mode, when current flow, in space, can't be seen. When the current is strong enough, it goes into a glow mode. The best example of it working, is in incandescent lights.

So some people might be familiar with the name of Hannes Alfven. He was both an electrical engineer, and an astrophysicist. He applied what he knew of the laws of electrodynamics as laid out by Maxwell, Ampere, and Faraday to what he saw in the cosmos in what are still considered to be 'unconventional' ways, one of which was to interpret the rotation of spiral galaxies according to everyday electrodynamic principles. They even named some plasma phenomenon after him (Alfven waves), and he also was awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on magnetohydrodynamics, although he later went on to revise his understanding of electrodynamics to essentially revoke his earlier postulates on MHD.
Anyway, Alfven noted that the rotation of spiral galaxies behaved like a Faraday disk, or a homopolar motor. Essentially, if you pump an electric current through a plasma, it will rotate due to the Lorentz Force. Since the galaxy is a big pool of plasma, it whirls due to the Lorentz Force but cannot escape because of the concurrent magnetic field created by the initiating electric current. This would also explain the 'how' of spiral galaxies, as well as the 'why'.
An interesting sidenote to the above is that there is an almost equal amount of visible plasma as there is hypothesized 'dark matter/energy/etc'. Simply by considering basic nuclear chemistry and the behavior of dipolar atoms in electromagnetic fields, one is able to explain: the observations of the matter at the edge of galaxies and why they do not slingshot away into the void; the bipolar geometry of stellar systems/galaxies/galactic clusters/etc; the axial alignment of visible galaxies; magnetic fields at all scales of observation in the cosmos; high frequency emissions of cosmic objects of all scales. The list really does go on and on...
The list really does go on an on and on. Just as Hannes Alfven, who is known as the Father of Plasma Cosmology, applied his knowledge of electrodynamics and the behaviors of plasma to astrophysics, I would encourage anyone interested in astronomy and astrophysics to consider taking a course in either Nuclear Chemistry or even just Basic Electricity. It really and truly makes SO much more sense of modern observations of the cosmos than the old Standard Theory does.
Peace :)
Who would have thought that atomic structure would have anything to do with the visible universe.
You explained it better than my comment...those who believe in "dark matter" will not change their mind no matter the results of observations, the simplest explanation doesn't apply when you are receiving funding researching something that doesn't exist.
Yes! Plasma Cosmology!

I've often wondered if it's due to how compact stars are within compared to the outer edge that causes space to blend in such a way that it can create the event we see?
Gonna go out on a limb and assume they already ruled that one out.
Physics, especially astrophysics, has always been something that I am very interested and passionate about. I never took any Physics classes in HS as my interest mainly developed from star gazing, in my earlier days, to watching countless youtube videos learning about Physics. I'm 32 now and recently started re attending my local Community College to resume the process of getting a degree in Computer Programming. I enjoy computers and love to tinker with them and play games, but I would love to take some Physics classes as well. The joy I feel from thinking about taking Physics classes makes me want to take a full course load and just soak up all the info I can. So therefore, I'm starting to think I should consider switching my major but I don't really know what all fields are out there...tbh, I don't really know what kind of jobs are out there for it or even if it's in demand. The only careers that I could think of would be to teach (not a fan) and I would assume that NASA would need to hire some people who are educated in the field.

You do such a great job and always find interesting topics! I was glued to this conversation
Every thing science has discover and show us so far about the universe, is that everything started from a single point of inflation that originated from nothing that has being theorized that is actually something, that something has existed for ever. Whatever it is, is the other 95% that act like gravity on the scale of a galaxies, by the mass speed. So, yeah, cheers to Vera Rubin!
the passion you have is contagious and precious.
i concur. she should change her name to PhysicsGoddess. her enthusiasm is divine (and refreshing) 💯
Oh daddy!
she is a layman speculating on things she knows nothing about unfortunately.
@@mickrussom ...hence all the references to her previous work on dark matter. OBVIOUSLY she wouldn't know anything about what she spent a lot of time studying.
Perhaps if we studied in your proximity we could observe small scale gravitational lensing just above your neck.
*Correction: It was astronomer Fritz Zwicky who made the first observations of what we now call dark matter in the 30's.*
Lord Kelvin first presented math postulating dark bodies, in 1906 Henri Poincare coined the term 'dark matter' in discussing Kelvin's work, but the first evidence of dark matter using stellar velocities was Dutch astronomer Jacobus Kapteyn, and Jan Oort in 1932 before 1933 when Fritz Zwicky a Swiss astrophysicist obtained the first evidence at CIT. Vera Rubin was in the half a century later, and she was part of a team working for Ken Freeman. All they did was re-measure the same data with 'greater accuracy' using a spectrograph.
dark matter is another word for the either...lol
When she said, “Hey Siri”, my Apple Mini said, “I’m here.” 🤣
Very important statement a lot of people would be quick to ignore: "according to *our* (and current) law of of physics".
So what you're to say is that we're still in the dark when it comes to matter?
Apparently to Everything.. we understand 4.9% what grade is this on a completed test?
@synchromorph 97% of scientists agree about climate change. 100% agree that Epstein didn't kill himself.
@Toughen Up, Fluffy Orange man bad. C02 making the world die. That's the consensus of 151% of scientists now.
To conclude a fractional percentage of a thing you first need to know what a 100% of the thing is .
@@tracker001 1000% of politicians agree with everything they are paid to.
Needs to say "The observable Universe"
ju-....just stop
Accuracy is paramount. otherwise it's just more muddle.
I love your show!!! You are entertaining and informative!! Good luck finding Dark Matter.
so,since specific collision is controlled area, if dark matter is created can it then be dissolved at will?
2:28 best explanation of centripetal force.
*Fun Fact:*
The Big Bang was just Michael Bay directing the Universe
Wowwww! How clever Mr. NeverWashHisCock, I have a real issue with your so called "joke". It first begins with the fact I dont like you. And yea, i guess that basically ends all my facts up to this point. Go squander the streets for nickles dated before the 1980's and get lost.
@@plint99 toxicity is starting to become a problem
I'm going to follow you simply because Cash Lint is such a monumental douchnozzel
Oh my - @@plint99 doesn't think his dad respects him. Poor Mr @Cash Lint ; cry for him.
This is not true, because then the contents would be boring.
You asked the question whether dark matter does not exist and we simply have a limited understanding of gravity at a very large scale. I have wondered this myself, but your explanation early in this video of why the existence of dark matter seems more likely was very good. I've listened to a lot of people talking about the subject, but this is the first time I have felt half-convinced.
this just popped up in my recommendations. really cool gave you a sub, this stuff is interesting . why not learn something new
Would love to see an update to this with the new modified gravity information coming out that might explain it without dark matter.
I love how you showed a clip of a vehicle digging when you said "...looked for dark matter here on Earth".
People never take into account spacial time/gravity in regards to the speed of the outside of galaxies. Stars distances between themselves is huge. Dark matter does not exist. Stars are just following the gravity well of the galaxy. It's more like they are being pushed along rather then gravitationally connected to each other. .
When talking about percentage of dark matter to dark energy to regular matter, is it based on the calculated volume of the universe or is it to balance an equation based on the observed volume of regular matter?
I mean, the answer is that we _don't_ know that dark matter exists. The concept was invented to resolve the conflict between our observations and our models. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, in fact, this kind of thing is very common.
But dark matter may just be the next ether, or centrifugal force. The results that we get maybe not be due to a "quirk in math" but maybe a flaw in the way we are observing the universe overall.
What isn't mentioned here is gravitational lensing. Gravitational lensing causes optical illusion when a light source behind an object is seen at multiple points around the object. It is also why we see the sun set yet it has already set. Gravitational lensing is happening in areas where the math says the dark matter should be there. If the math is wrong, there wouldn't be the gravity in the area bending the light.
And what if it's electro-magnetism!?
We know it's there as much as we know gravity is there. However, both of them got some splainen to do!
.
"The only thing that can hold stars in our galaxy is gravity" and what about the power of friendship?
Stars are notorious loners, they don't believe in it.
This comment might be onto sth. Why can't there be a new force that we don't know of
@@Arthur0000100 because a dark force is totally evil and we will have a bunch of weirdo running around waving a plasma torch like it is a completely sensible use of energy weapon.
damn i gotta send this signal to Murphy using gravitational waves
That's magic. We ain't gotta explain that.
I think one of the problems we have when communicating scientific knowledge is semantics. Nothing in reality 'defies' anything. It just is what it is. Our knowledge is incomplete so when we try to explain something with it, then discover that the observation doesn't quite agree... It's because we are missing something, not because reality says, "I'm going to do it differently just to be awkward"
Fun and easy to understand video. Tanks!
So dark matter is just stuff with stuff that we just don’t don’t know what this stuff is. Awesome.
probably just normal matter but inside a thing which information can't get out so we can't know they exist like a matter inside a blackhole
Well, we have to given the observation a name, even if we don't understand it..... better than saying, "that stuff, you know.... out there!"
@@Vvopat96 Lol, that sentance 😂
Nice video !! One thing I'd like to know though, that I've never seen in video from the CERN is....how is the CERN working? Not 'technically', but more like 'administratively'.
Are they doing tons and tons of collision every day with different parameters, and put the data available to the researchers, that could find what they need? Does researchers have to make protocols first (if yes, how long does it take between the draft of the protocol and getting the results of the experiment)? How many collision per day are happening? All this kind of stuff :)
What is the life of a CERN researcher basically :)
That's a video idea for The Administration Girl.
That's a nice of a subject for a video. I'll talk with the people in the video / media dept
In the meantime here's some starters
czcams.com/video/-fXAsrZ-ePM/video.html
czcams.com/video/-fXAsrZ-ePM/video.html
czcams.com/video/AdJn82JwhTM/video.html
and of course the official youtube channel czcams.com/users/CERNTV
They do like 20 million collisions per second. Then they have software to sort the ones that are not really that interesting. They store only the interesting ones. So theres this big chache of collision results researchers have access to.
i like when CZcams suggests to me videos I've already watched and liked. Because I get to re-watch Diana!
maybe sense light takes so long to get to us, we are seeing an image of what that area looked like before any matter was there but we can still get gravitational readings.
My theory:
Dark Energy = Dark Matter x (Speed of Dark)^2
Dark Matter and Dark Energy are effectively the same thing
I know I haven’t included my derivation but I deserve a Nobel Prize, please.
Here take an apple instead🍎
@@gamesbond006 Or maybe a Dark Apple...
_"Dark Matter and Dark Energy are effectively the same thing"_
No, they aren't. DM is effectively attractive, while DE is effectively repulsive.
Darkness is faster than light
Think about it,,,,,,,,,
Darkness always precedes light.
Without darkness how would one know there was light?
I knight thee Sir Dark
When I turn off all lights in my room and I close all of the curtains then all I see is dark matter.
Your videos are VERY informative. You obviously are very well grounded in the nomenclature of physics. But for us who don't know terms such as "LHC" I suggest defining the term somewhere at the beginning of your video.
In this video I find it kind of amusing, two books on the shelf,
"We Have No Idea" sitting right on top of a copy of
"The Big Picture".
Also find it amusing that I don't recall commenting twice on this video already, although I do remember the 'pie chart' comment...
Dark matter was a glitch in the simulation. The patch was cleverly hidden to look like it was always there when someone figures it out.
Dark Matter is the fundamental. You can't have a big event like the Big Bang without a place to have it. If there is no space/time, where does this bang take place? In this primordial substrate. What is it? A mold?
@George Pen I have a theory about this. Our math system is based on a linear progression; one, then two then three . . . I think math should follow a logical progression one divided into 2 that together become a unique 3rd. Like a premise and a related premise that yield a conclusion. The conclusion can become a premise and the logic is 1 premise plus another premise yeild a 3rd premise. I think such a system would help clear up a lot of glitches like PI and e.
What makes the simulation, if not a reality?
@@briankleinschmidt3664 In math, there is so much more than this.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_integral look up Cauchy, Riemann etc.
You can navigate around a singularity, and often still get a useful result etc.
What you bring in, actually is Constructivism.
Only the universe can simulate the universe.

My physics teacher while checking my paper
4:04 Teacher: you got zero 0
I am a science teacher, and not a physicist, so my lifelong interest in astronomy and cosmology is more a hobby than even a study. I tried to understand Neutron Stars at age 15 in the mid seventies, so yes we have come a ways since then. As an occasional listener to Matt O'Doud, Anton Petrov, and Dr. Becky, I am finding you a lot of fun to listen to. I like folks like Matt O'Doud because I try to keep up a little, and he stretches my mind past my ability to even believe that I 'got it'. Your approach to your videos is a little history ( yay! ), with some credit where due, and very easy to understand for the layperson. I also appreciate that you find the subject matter itself exciting without need for extra sensationalism. I really liked this dark matter vid for how much you packed into ten minutes. Keep up the good work, Physics Girl!! Ranger G.
The Electric Universe makes more sense than the classic Hocus Pocus model.
I clicked on this video hoping to understand something, now i think i know less. So im subscribing.
Thank you for describing the amount of amazed I feel every time I watch this channel. Thank you Diana!
That's how learning works. The more you know, then the more you realize how much you don't know.
I wish you could have been my teacher in High school, would have liked Physics more.
Word.
She isn't bound by curriculum, national expectations and the spectrum of classroom capabilities.
@@suraj9 that's true
man if she was phy teacher here it ends she woildnt be this interested in physics cause that job is really heavy.....
What about the object that appeared inside the vacuum chamber. Just appeared out of nowhere.
I've always enjoyed talking about physics, particularly with my uncle who is just absolutely brilliant but I have a hard time grasping some of the more advanced parts of physics. My uncle eats, sleeps and breathes physics, he is a commercial electrician by trade but he spends virtually ALL of his free time reading all the academic papers, discussing with his online physics communities. It just gets to a point where my head starts to hurt and my brain turns to mush lol but this was such an interesting video to watch! My uncle says if I'd applied myself more to mathematics in high school and college, I would probably be able to understand some of the concepts and details a little better. Makes me regret not applying myself in math and science mote but I was always an English and history buff
We need English and history Buffs too.
I liked this presentation. Dark matter and dark energy are fascinating and incredibly important topics. Very recently, some physicists have theorized that there is an "anti-universe" out there, in which many of the "known" laws of physics run backwards. Some physicists even think that time runs backward in this "anti-universe." Some people think that this "anti-universe" is the source of dark matter and dark energy. I would love to hear what you think about this.
I wonder if people that believe in dark matter and dark energy criticize people that believe in ghosts.
Yes, I know that the concepts were introduced to explain certain observations, but also ghosts were.
@@usuarioenyt Not even close the same thing. I don't see how it corelates
