Dark Matter 3D Map

COSMOS Video News Release For the first time ever, astronomers have been creating a three—dimensional map of how the dark matter is distributed across the Universe. An international team of scientists, among them groups from Marseille, the Max-Planck Institutes and Paris have been using data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The results are published in nature online of 8 January 2007, and at the meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle. This Video News Release discussed this discovery.

Video Rating: 4 / 5

Join UCSD Physicist Kim Griest as he takes you on an exploration of two of the major unsolved questions in the physical sciences: What might be the fate of the universe and what is the nature of the dark matter which ultimately decides this fate? Series: “UCSD Millennium Lectures” [2/2000] [Science] [Show ID: 4661]

    @SSTTEEAALLTTHH
    “If you don’t reflect light, that means you have no colour”

    I was just responding on your logics behind it. You implied that you would be black, having reflected no color, and so be seen on the background.

    What you now said sounds more true yea. You would see signs of bending, distorted forms.

    @Crunch0r

    Which would still show, right? We have materials that can bend light, but making a cloth of it makes you far from invisible. Bending light can’t make you invisible, at least not from more then one stance.

    You would bend the light around you

    can anyone explain to me WHAT dark matter is? in simple 10th grade English.

    @libtechsk8er In my theory, dark matter is just dense gasses. Such as if led were a gas

    Big deal. I have chunk of dark matter sitting on my desk. NASA gave it to me when I visited them. Oops, I wasn’t supposed to tell anyone…

    @likeberly

    If you don’t reflect light, that means you have no colour. Something tells me you would show off against all colours around us.

    actually no, that’s not how it works!
    Theoretically dark matter is actually streaming through our very planet right now…

    If we can get this dark matter then it mean that we
    can make a Cloth that make our body invisible.

    No it is not only critical, but a solution as well
    Have you seen both PART II and PART III
    It is possible to measure CENTRAL gravity, its never done
    This is the key we need

    Thanks for atempting to help but, your gravity video is not very informative. Just a critic. Please take it constructivly.

  19. BjarneLorenzen says:

    The answer to both you Q. is no. Dark matter is not matter at all but just phenomena reflecting thats that we havent understood the underlying the nature of gravity / space properties. Its all begun by the introduction: that space bends This is an imperfect /unclear expression that in fact have prevented us to reach a deeper understanding of the properties of gravity. We KNOW hat space expands hence we also know that space can contract. Here is the key.Click my name see my gravity video.

    @BjarneLorenzen
    You said:”…Dark matter and dark energy is both property of gravity. It’s the nature of gravity….”
    Q: If Dark Matter is property of gravity and there is gravity on earth does it means that the earth is “packed” with Dark Matter?
    Q: Some particles have mass. Are they Dark Matter loaded?

    [Reply]

  21. gespilk says:

    1) So How Dark Matter fits in the Big Bang model?
    Did it exist before or after the Big Bang and what is its influence on the Big Bang?
    2) How would one study the nature of something that is far and almost invisible?
    3) Why Dark Matter stays as a “cloud” and does not condense into something denser under the force of gravity?

    It feels like the Universe is perhaps like a Mandelbrot set and we (humans) are somewhere in its curves.

    If what you see is light reflected off a serface how do you know what you see is bent?

  23. THRIVINGinCHAOS says:

    Dark matter = star ship fuel. Simple as that.

    Thank you David X. Cohen for the clarification, and thank you to the Niblonians for the supply.

    Ha ha just kiddin.

    why do shows like this assume that dark matter exists. when did we stop talking about why cosmologists thnk it MIGHT exist? It’s just a theoretical concept which solves some mathematical problems, right?

    i believe there is stil some thata missing and the universe is stil a bit more static then it seems. i feel like we stil dont see the whole picture. and that that everything it is much more simple then it seems. we just need the right idea. i feel like there stil havent find the einstean of the universe or better the newton of universe.
    hm but the vacuum we have to test it here on earth so we can make exsperiments if the theory of expanding it is true.. (continues…)

    I think the best current explanation to the “mystery” of Dark matter/Energy is given by Nassim Haramien. First of all, Einstein’s field equations do NOT include rotation. So according to Haramein, if you adjust for rotational energy, you make up for the missing mass/energy of the universe! Don’t take my word for it, check out his lecture here:

    and here for his official site and scientific papers that have been published:

    You can’t prove a negative.

  35. crueddude says:

    @WatchCharmedOnline thing is, religion hasn’t been proven wrong. Im just saying religion and science don’t have to be seperate. People don’t have to choose sides. A person can believe and still be into science and want to learn about the wonders of the universe. I think bashing either side is true ignorance.

    @crueddude

    Giving up religion does not make you ignorant, it makes you open to what is really out there.

    Religion is by definition a SYSTEMIZED set of beliefs. Beliefs that never change even when proven wrong is the true ignorance.

    Why is it i cannot find a single video on Cosmology here where God freaks and Science freaks aren’t bitching at each other over bullshit issues that neither can prove? God doesn’t belong in a classroom. Science doesn’t belong in a church.
    I usually try to ignore stuff like this, but its getting intolerably redundant. This planet would be better off if stupidity was painful.
