    Hypothesis: Dark Matter as Emergent Large-Scale Electron Waves

    I propose that dark matter isn't a new particle, but an emergent phenomenon arising from the collective behaviour of electron waves on cosmological scales. Key Points: Electron Wave Coherence: Vast, "quiet" regions of space, with minimal matter, energy, and gravitational disturbances, allow...

    A New Perspective Of Universe

    For the earliest model to suggest this the way I have I welcome all to engage with me on this understanding of the cosmos. Hello everyone, Please do not dismiss this idea outright; let's discuss it and aim to bring a better understanding of the cosmos to the world! I propose that what we...

    I've created an animation!

    Hi guys I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this, but my kids love space and since showing a interest i have made a kids space animation teaching them facts about space in a way that they might find entertaining. I thought I'd post it in this group just in case you have any little space lovers...

    Question Bending Space

    Hi Space forum, I am not an astro scientist or related, just some ordinary guy that love mystery hidden in our space. Pardon me if my question is too ordinary. I have too much question about space. 1. I once watched about gravity visualized video that said star bend space (visualized with a...

    Could This Be True?

    I have a question to ask people that know or understand a lot about the universe and mathematics. So the question is this: "If the reference point of light doesn't experience time due to time dilation at higher speeds, does this mean that time stops? If time would stop would this mean that...

    Dark matter or something else

    Can it not be so that the dark matter we're looking for perhaps not even exist and the bindimg/repelling force might be space itself, since black holes collide and gravitational waves are generated, and the speed at which those waves travel can't surpass that of light, so it may be that those...

    Question Probes to interstellar space

    What is preventing us from sending numerous tiny probes/orbiters into interstellar space, do we still lack the technology or courage? Since through gravity assist alone we can increase the speed of spacecrafts, why don't we send out many in various directions, with all the necessary instruments...

    Question RHU Technology : how to implement them in rover or spacecrafts ?

    Hello everyone, I'm currently a student in an Aeronautic School in Paris, France. I would like to know if one of you knows some stuff about Radio Isotopic Heater (RHU - Radioisotopic Heat Unit) to heat component during cold nights in space or lunar missions (mainly electronic components) and...

    Why is garbage in space dangerous?

    The clogging of near-Earth space could lead to the "Kessler effect" - a situation where space travel is not possible, as NASA experts warned earlier this year. Donald Kessler, an analyst at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, predicted back in 1978 that space debris would...

    Question what intrigues you about space

    What makes you love space, the universe, and the ideas of other planets and life? I'll start off. I've always liked space since I was a kid and I had stickers of the solar system on my bedroom wall. Now, still basically a kid, I'm more obsessed with space than I've ever been. No matter what...

    Is it possible for us to discover habitable planets close to us?

    I’m a writer and currently writing a book that involves space travel to a potentially habitable planet. I’ve done lots of research of potentially habitable planets that we are already aware of and I am aware that scientists believe there to be billions of planets in the Milky Way alone. What...

    What would gravity feel like on a hollow earth?

    If you had 2 earths, one original and the other hollow with a 1m thick crust but with identical mass and dimensions as our earth. Would you experience gravity identically on the outer surface of both? Also, what would you feel if you stood on the inside surface of the hollow earth? If you stood...

    The expansion of the Universe and analysis of our Universe

    Greetings, First of all, I am not a scientist. Nor do I work in the scientific field...If this is something that bothers you, you can leave right now if you wish to have insights only from experts. However all I can say is that I think, analyze and read a lot about science, space, nuclear...

    Do any of you know anything about comet NEOWISE (2020 F3)?

    aerith.net says it could reach 2nd magnitude in July and Wikipedia says that it will reach perihelion on July 3rd and expected to be visible to the naked eye. Besides that and the theskylive.com page, I can't find anything else.

    twin body theory

    every celestial body, it is said, is part of a 2 or twin body system which revolve around a common centre of gravity, which sometimes lay inside one of the 2 such celestial bodies (because one is bigger than the other) so it looks as if the other is revolving around this ... is this theory...
