How We Could Solve the Dark Matter Mystery | Chanda Prescod-Weinstein | TED
The universe that we know, with its luminous stars and orbiting planets, is largely made up of elements we can’t actually see — like dark energy and dark matter — and therefore don’t fully understand. Theoretical physicist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein takes us inside the search for this cosmos-shaping invisible matter and explains how, with the help…

Razer’s Zephyr mask lands them in regulatory hot water | TechCrunch Minute
Gaming gear company, Razer, is under scrutiny after falsely claiming their Zephyr face mask had an N95 grade. Why is a company mostly known for glowing keyboards making a high tech mask? And why are so many companies shipping out hardware that just doesn’t work and expecting people to pay? Hardware is hard, as we’ve…

I enjoyed this right up to the point where she just had to mention her race and sexual orientation.
WTF does that have to do with her subject matter?
I don’t understand why so many people find it necessary to announce these personal things that should be private.
These things are a big deal because people keep making such a big deal out of them.
No one asked & very few care.
Thoroughly inappropriate.

Because the field is white and male-oriented. Discrimination in all its forms suppresses ideas and, in effect, slows progress. She is making an appeal to the scientific community to embrace people from diverse backgrounds. Someone non-conforming potentially holds the clue to unlocking the biggest discoveries.

Yet another Ted Talk fluff piece that gives us nothing to discuss. Mind-numbingly bland and senseless. Except that now we have proof that Ted Talks seek to silence critical discourse of their “topics”. So sad.

I always hated math, not because I was bad in it, but because whenever I got an answer wrong I knew it is true. There is no maybe in math or “what if”, once you get to the right answer there’s just YES or NO. And that’s why it’s important that brilliant people like Mrs. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein brings up the question “what if” to push forward the science and research to find the YES answer. Thank you for this TED talk.

Math is just a language. Modern day “science” is not science at all but instead psuedo science quite literally by definition. “Imagine if you will” and “what if” is usually followed by nonsense more often than not. A magician’s go to.

Dark matter isn’t real. It’s a measurement that the scientific community just jumps on board with no proof. It’s as archaic as the belief that the sun rotates around the earth.

July 13, 2022 at 8:04 pm
Well the obvious clue is that we only see evidence of dark matter in galaxies with supermassive black holes. Gravity falloff is doing something strange when a singularity is involved, so I would start by looking at the math when a 3D object like a star is compacted down into a 2D rotating singularity, and how it would effect gravitational curves when all that gravity is focused into two dimensions like, I don’t know, the galactic disc surrounding it.

I think the work that goes into all this is fascinating and I have tons of respect for the people that dedicate their lives to it… but there was a lot of unnecessary and random stuff thrown in on top of it seeming like a flex of how much work they’ve done with not much explanation of what is actually going on.

Your dismissal of her expertise in physics because she happens to acknowledge a psychologically recognized gender spectrum does nothing more than illustrate your own bias and your inability to see past it. Gender and a person’s location on the gender spectrum is a scientifically debated topic that is every bit as valid as the dark matter theories on which she is clearly highly educated.

So what is the wavelength of the force particle of gravity? Like photons certain wavelength probably interact with objects of the right size. A radio wave passes through some material. Higher the frequency the more likely the interaction. Dark matter.

My question with Dark Matter is; is it one thing or more? For example, say we discover what Dark Matter is, would it be ‘one thing’ and so we suddenly know what ‘all’ Dark Matter is? Or is there different kinds and types of Dark Matter, or different things making Dark Matter (like how we have different elements. So discovering one element doesn’t mean we know all the elements)?

Pretty disgusting way to end a decent speech. There has been no evidence to support the claims made by Chanda that James Webb had anything to do with the persecution of LGBT people. As a scientist, Chanda should be smarter than to reach conclusions without conclusive evidence. To interject her half-formed politics into the end of a scientific discussion is unprofessional.
consummateVssss
July 15, 2022 at 9:10 pm
In Chanda’s own words, James Webb ‘acquiesced’ to anti-LGBT policies at NASA in the 50s. He wasn’t supporting them nor was he against them either. They probably also had a policy for “commies” back in those days, which also sounds ridiculous by todays standards.
Her suggestion of naming a telescope after Harriet Tubman because she used the north star as a compass while operating the underground railroad so that makes her an “astronomer” is ridiculous.
Tubman was a great person, but I doubt she had any better views of LGBT people living back in the 1800s than JW did in 1950., if anything Tubman’s views on LGBT would be even more abhorrent to today’s views.

Mix all the particles of the standard model of elementary particles together and bind them together with various hydrogen molecules. As the universe is filled with a variety of hydrogen molecules. Then you’ll have at least one version/structure of dark matter. This will require a lot of experimentation to get the variety correct.

Perhaps instead of trying to do the same thing over and over we need to go back in time and see where we took a left turn? Dark matter is an illusion an illusion that started when the idea of an ether was abandoned . The Michelson–Morley experiment never disproved the ether theory it showed that the ether was not static as previously thought. However shortly after Einstein brought relativity into play and everybody abandoned the ether for this sexy new model, ironically a new medium called “space-time”. Students are not thought this instead they are brainwashed with how Einstein was the smartest human being who has ever lived and how his theories are perfect in every way.
Ether theory can be refined and some have shown that it could explain the galaxy rotation speed problem which scientist today attribute hopelessly to dark matter. But science has become a religion today and anyone daring to go against the grain is burned like a witch as in medieval times. This hopeless clinging to idols and their 100 year old theories needs to stop.
