Dark matter mapped

First three-dimensional picture of elusive matter throws up mystery.

Hot on the heels of evidence last year that dark matter really does exist (see 'Dark matter spied in galactic collision'), the same technique has been used to map this uncharacterized mass across half a million distant galaxies.

This dark matter map, I think, only indicates the potential contours where the separation has positive potential and thegravity has the negative one.

"The matter produces the gravity field, and the energy of emission produces the separation field."
By calculating all the emission energy produced by the nuclear reactions in a galaxy cluster through its history more than billions of years, the separation potential can be checked out. And then the reason why a lot of X-ray beams come from the surrounding area of the galaxy cluster is because photons are accelerated but can not run faster than c, then their frequencies are increasing to the X-ray level.
Voids as fossilized huge emission energy still have the separation potential and act as concave lens against the light from the backwards of them.

Hi
Are we underlying some basic discrepancies? Did the “big Bang” ever happen? Is the dark matter a controlling factor of a cyclic Universe in duality?
Dr Terence Hale

The existance of dark matter is simply there because it has gravity density.
The fact that bright light is not eveident in these gravity maps is due to the fact
the light is not travelling in our relative time frame.
Gravity density must by its very nature show up.

A star will bend a ray of light so imagine what a whole galaxy of 400 billion solar
masses would do. It would be possible to bend it right up into a loop. Not a circle
as that would simply collapse so there is a link to other matter as a galaxy sized
wormhole.

Gravity however doesn't support this in its current estimated state as being created
by matter. So seeing as we really do not understand gravity lets look at a slightly
different definition. As a separate force anchored to matter would allow gravity to drag
matter through this wormhole.

What would it anchor to. Her we would need to use quantum mechanics to say that
galactic gravity attached to the tenth level or lowest theoretical dimension.
But this would change quantum in that gravity would exceed the strong nuclear force
and actually hold the atomic nucleus together.

But then what of the electron does its charge resist such strong gravity. No it is simply
the balance of charge that using gravity as a density must exit. This is a disaster for the
electron because it then would only exist as a charge not a particle. Here if it resists gravity
it could be presumed to give an indication of weight.

Problem we create electrons no problem that happens in quantum. It would then only exist
as a waveform when not required for single inline use such as electricity. But wait it does
that. Where it needs to be in two it would interfere like a wave, still it does that.

The American Indians through blind sight could not see the ships of Columbus. How much harder would science find it then to not see somethinf that it knows to have existed since before those
times. Very hard, impossible so gravity density can not be allowed to exist it would both
challenge our thinking and unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

The marital staus of number five would have to be redefined as "there is no electron".
Effects like gravitomagnetic results trillions of times greater would be matched to the preponderance
of matter. But this is a theory of everthing and is too challenging for our thinking.

More terrifying the awful consequences to relativity to have a time mechanism like quantum.
I offer you choice gravity density is to much for the human mind to conceive and so
like the status of the electron must be rejected.

The physics of gravity to be defined might and I say they do tell us clearly why all of our theology
is telling us we are coming to the end of time because there is a strong belief we wont be
able to make the correct choice of the four paths ahead of us.

It is not true that last year was determined in something like 15 microns the minimal distance in wich gravity take efect?
If true, the discussion above electrons falling in the nucleos have no sense.
The dark mater big features, cannot be black holes?

This story of the "black matter" remind me of the ether in the 19th century...

It seems more likely that the "observations" of dark matter effects can more easily be explained by spacetime expansion. The common view is that spacetime expansion occurs in the far reaches of the universe. Instead, it occurs everywhere, especially where there is mass. Galactic expansion would account for excessive speeds of the outer regions. Spacetime curvature can explain the apparent dark matter separation upon galaxy collision.

As a fascinated amateur, this 'scaffold 'creates the image of the equivalent of a Galactic atmosphere, some galactic equivalent of earths atmosphere! Therefore the scaffold (dark matter) might shape and be shaped by the Galaxy in which it is formed. I will be really surprised if dark Matter and indeed dark energy is found to be of single form. Depending upon the Galaxy we are observing, the nature of the Dark matter might be different!

The percentage between dark matter and ordinary matter decreases over time. The question is whether the process is constant or accelerating. In any case, in about 60 billion years at the most the transformation will have been completed and the slow death of the universe begins.

Nineteenth Century Ether was fixed, immovable, undeformable (although sustained electromagnetic waves!). As such, it is still unacceptable. Dark matter moves and is deformed. Jacques Leibovitz.
