Dark matter

The majority of the universe is constituted of dark matter.

In physics and cosmology, dark matter is matter that does not interact with the electromagnetic force, but whose presence can be inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter. According to present observations of structures larger than galaxies, as well as Big Bang cosmology, dark matter accounts for the vast majority of mass in the observable universe. The observed phenomena which imply the presence of dark matter include the rotational speeds of galaxies, orbital velocities of galaxies in clusters, gravitational lensing of background objects by galaxy clusters such as the Bullet cluster, and the temperature distribution of hot gas in galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Dark matter also plays a central role in structure formation and galaxy evolution, and has measurable effects on the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background. All these lines of evidence suggest that galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and the universe as a whole contain far more matter than that which interacts with electromagnetic radiation: the remainder is called the "dark matter component."

The dark matter component has vastly more mass than the "visible" component of the universe.[1] At present, the density of ordinary baryons and radiation in the universe is estimated to be equivalent to about one hydrogen atom per cubic meter of space. Only about 4% of the total energy density in the universe (as inferred from gravitational effects) can be seen directly. About 22% is thought to be composed of dark matter. The remaining 74% is thought to consist of dark energy, an even stranger component, distributed diffusely in space.[2] Some hard-to-detect baryonic matter makes a contribution to dark matter but constitutes only a small portion.[3][4] Determining the nature of this missing mass is one of the most important problems in modern cosmology and particle physics. It has been noted that the names "dark matter" and "dark energy" serve mainly as expressions of human ignorance, much as the marking of early maps with "terra incognita."[2]

So this inspire me 2 conceptions:

1. the existence of aliens
Maybe they live millions of light years far away, but if they have high technology, they could come to use in a shorter time, or even instantly. They are able to find an energy in the dark energies which let them move faster than light, the fastest visible energy we know till now...
Each species have different structure of eyes: some can see the light, some can see the ultra-violet, some can see the ultra-red, some can see the X ray, etc... With the same analogyn aliens could see dark matter and dark ray that humain cannot see, so it's impossible to catch them to do experiment !?

2. the existence of ghosts
There are a lot of evidences and prooves shown to the public. But still ppl deny their existence. Because none can see, can hear, can smell, can touch, can taste so logically they dont exist, using the definition of the existence. But using your 6th sense, it's the perception of thing changed: sometime in the dark, u have the feeling that someone is watching over u, u feel the existence of another being... :twisted:
U cant see ghost because it's made by dark matter. I've also heard that at the moment u die, your weight is less than before... :twisted:

that's proven to be false i think.

it's a possibility that alien lifeforms exist outside matter. who knows, maybe we're the ones that are unique. to the rest of the universe, dark matter life forms are the norm.

i personally dun believe in ghosts, but the vast amounts of eye witness accounts and photographic evidence is hard to ignore. of course many are hoaxes, but that's still a small % of the overwhelming, albeit un-scientific, evidence.

Hmm, your logic is confusing. So you think we are the only things that are intelligent in the whole universe? But you think its possible for ghosts to exist

Your logic is flawed to, look at those two things you're trying to put together.

ETs ARE supernatural...at least that's what my big book of supernatural says =]

we are not alone and on Ghost, If I see one so yes then
I can belive it.

Its confusing cause it contradicts.

ET are not supernatural they are just something we havent discover yet or they have not discover us yet. for all i belive is that ghost and ALiens do exist it just that we have not found the proof saying they exist. IF one scientist was to discover alien exist no one would belive him, but if more than one were to belive they exist the public would follow. For ghost the only reason why most people don't belive it is that they are showing some of the proof of them on Tv and so yes they are ingoring the fact they exist cause it TV. for most people this might make any sense but if u read it carefully it might.

okay, here's the thing.. I don't read, I get read to.

but.. my new maid Svetlana just came here and she doesn't speak proper english yet.

I'm even typing this myself... so I haven't read it yet..

jk.

I belive in both.

and when I would run into an alien, then sure, he can call home with my sell, as long as he makes it short.

And yes, a ghost may haunt my room, as long as he will clean up the mess he made.
