Dark matter does not exist ?! What do you think ?
« on: 15/09/2020 14:47:34 »
sorry, translated from french by google

I am not a scientist, but I am passionate about science.

I have imagined some things and I would like to submit it to people who know to tell me if I am a little crazy or if it is possible. Sorry I'm not very good at writing texts or explaining my ideas.



I've seen a lot of videos that talk about dark matter, according to them for galaxies to interact as we see it, it would take dark matter to explain things that we observe.



I saw that there were projects out there to try to capture dark matter particles and that it was almost elusive because it was rare, but if there were a lot we would capture them more easily ?!



I thought to myself why not start from the idea that dark matter is not matter, but a kind of grid, like the grid lines on a sheet of paper. Which would act as a support to fix matter and dictate the physical laws of the universe.

Dark matter and dark energy would be one, they would only be the paper of the architect's plan, with its own physical laws. It would give the mass and energy properties to the particles. As if such and such a particle were a red pencil and another a blue pencil with each their characteristics

Perhaps this medium is intangible or energetic, it is a component of the universe that we do not yet know or that is not measurable.

It would be the thing that makes us speak of force of gravity, gravity would not really exist as an independent force but as a result of the laws of this support.

For example a black hole would be a kind of tearing of this support, creating a hole towards the non-universe where everything that falls in it dematerializes due to this non-grid of support.



What do you think, dear reader?

A couple of things.  While there is a lot of dark matter in the universe, it is spread out very thinly.  For example, the total estimated dark matter in our Solar system amount to about the mass of a smaller asteroid, and this is spread out over the whole volume of the solar system.  Also, the very nature of dark matter is such that, because it really only interacts strongly by gravity, it is hard to detect on the scale of a lab.
Explaining it as being a consequence of how the physical laws of the universe behaves has already been considered. Such explainations generally fall under the label of MOND ( MOdified Newtonian Dynamics). 
The problem here is that a number of observations are really compatible with this.
A recent example would be the detection of galaxies which behave as if they have little to no dark matter in them.
If DM was due to built in rules of the universe, then all galaxies would be equally subject to those rules.  You shouldn't be able to find "dark matter free" galaxies.
However, if dark matter is really some kind of particulate matter, there is no rule that says any  particular galaxy has to have x amount of dark matter in it.  So while a galaxy ending up with little to no dark matter may be rare, it is not forbidden.
So as it stands, the observational clues tip towards the dark matter as particles view.
