Can dark energy be factored in quantum mechanics.....can this mysterious energy be part of the relationship between 2 particles? Is dark energy a known unknown?
Quantum jumpimg if i dont get a reply Ill start quantum jumping I think crow is quantum jumping....just fork to a particular branch
well, if your problem is just faster than light signaling that interpretation of QM theoretically resolves it : )
Dark Energy is an unknown unknown, but I think the most popular guess is that it's just an intrinsic property of space, not a "force" between particles.
Ironic that Dark Energy is a sort of God of the Gaps. Granted it's more plausible that there is some invisible force that's everywhere that has the immense power to accelerate entire galaxies.
So I wanted to freshen up on my understanding of dark matter and dark energy and found this wonderful video from TED on the subject. Just thought I'd share it, it's only about a half hour long, and well worth it for gaining a basic understanding. [video]http://youtu.be/lYH_nFwMXRM[/video]
This has been a great thread.....i might have seen it before but will ck it out anyway and I now understand what God and Crow are talking about. cool stuff
Yup. The details of the "collapse" are fuzzy and intriguing -- hence the quotation marks. In our reality, from our perspective, that is what it appears to do.
There is a new particle which is it's own anti-particle, as the current flavor of the week for dark energy
link? I want to know more. Is it a particle that has been produced by LHC or is LHC theorized to be able to create the particle?
I don't quite understand. but then again, i suppose most people don't either. So this is a particle that is not actually a particle but a group of particles that act as a particle that can be either the particle or the anti-particle. And then to understand how that would elucidate dark matter spins my head around and around. hopefully tonight I'll have a little more time while not at work to try and read a bit more. If anyone understands, please dumb it down as much as you can so even I can understand. Anyway, cool stuff for sure. repped.
Ok, so I've read a couple more articles on the Majorana Fermions, most seem to be too complex or too simplistic. But between the wiki link provided by westnob and the following article, I think a basic understanding can be gleaned. http://www.sci-news.com/physics/article01146-dark-matter-majorana-fermion.html Sci-news.com Title - Dark Matter May Be Made Out of Majorana Fermions, Say Physicists
Also check out this link but it expects you to have a little more knowledge to start with. It actually gets pretty technical, but still some good info to e learned. http://www.lanl.gov/hep/workshops/sf10/talks/ChackoSF10.pdf
Think of a donut, how the field lines would look if emanating from, and looping back, through the hole. Cool stuff. I don't quite get it yet, I'll dance around this subject for a while and hopefully it will come into better focus. What's cool is this is actually all testable. They should have an answer if these particles are the likely culprit behind dark matter in a couple years. I love a testable hypothesis!
