    I got this. Dark matter is NOT moving thru the earth. Dark matter is still. Its is NOT physical “space time” matter. It IS matter WITHOUT TIME! That is “space 0 time” (0=ought). By definition it is “older” then the birth of the universe and IS PERFECTLY (respectively) STILL just as our universe’s “origin” is.

    Im sorry, but why does the narration sound like it’s done by carl wheezer??

  20. Kevin Merendino

    June 10, 2022 at 12:27 am

    You want “dark matter” ? SIMPLE Match the speed we our moving thru the cosmos in the direction of its origin. Just what did you think James Webb was REALY for? Jst ask NASAs QAI

    it’s great and all that you drop the names of all the tools and machines that they’re using and then completely skip any explanation what cryptic TLA machine number 3 does. do you expect me to go into a google rabbit hole for every machine shown on screen? if you have time to label it, please also take time to explain in a few words what it does. or just skip over it entirely because for me it doesn’t add to the understanding of what the scientists do when i see a list of nondescript machinery.

    • Steve Nordquist

      June 10, 2022 at 9:12 am

      Nah just enjoy the incidental complexity and be happy your own TLA machine 3 does something reasonable.

    Yeah LBNF/DUNE is the biggest of its kind: linear proton accelerator, neutrino research collaboration and propably the biggest neutrino detectors of its energy range. Little hype in the video. The biggest research collaboration in particle physics and the biggest particle accelerator is LHC in Cern. I think also the biggest neutrino detector by size is the 1 cubic kilometer IceCube in Antarctica. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    You cannot detect dark matter particles just like you cannot touch your nose with your own nose. You must deduce it.How can neutrinos pass through solid matter? Well 1st anyone keeping up with physics knows that mounting violations tell us the standard model is an incorrect model. Here is why neutrinos can pass through solid dense matter. using the correct model of physics that unifies, explains and fixes everything in physics.

    I belive you’ll never find dark matter as I belive it’s part of space time. You can’t see time. It just happens. You can’t see the glue that holds space time together. It’s beyond our understand of what dark matter & space time is.

    if its 95% of mass in the Universe, isn’t it supposed to be heavy..? Why are they measuring some particles that would move through 1.5km of rock..? What would that evidence be of? 
    “Waiting and waiting and waiting for something to happen.” Yeah sounds like waste of resources to me, mine was more useful!

  60. Mykhailo Hohol

    June 14, 2022 at 4:39 am

    neutrino is it’s own antiparticle.. Isn’t it claimed that when a particle and antiparticle are in contact they create an explosion, they are destroyed and a lot of energy is produced? Why would such initial hypothesis be reasonable then?
    Seems like they came up with germanium detector and fitted the useless theory to get a grant money for the research.
