Gravity is a theory thats tries to explain to happens in our reality. One day someone can come up with a better theory that explains why you cant jump off a cliff without a parachute but ALSO, what happens with that extra mass in the universe.

Nice post Bill. That's really interesting.

As far as all this "how will it be practical?" stuff, I could go into story telling mode and explain how sending men to the moon was pointless and did nothing, however the advancements in technology resulted in the very computers that we are all sitting in front of now...or how delving into completely theoretical and crazy studies resulted in the advancement of many medical procedures...

But instead I'm going to tell you you're being douchebags and direct you to a song that shows how stupid your attitude is.

Click if you're a big douche that hates on everything.

It's a simple rule that you don't run around posting "I don't care" in topics that don't interest you. You've been here how long and yet you still can't do this one simple thing?

A common example of clueless people who make very many posts. That's why I find the "I have more posts" "more important than you" thing to be obsolete.



And like a few people have said, this "finding" (which is not really a proof of anything, only hypotheses) does not have any real impact on our lives on Earth. It only opens up new theoretical physics which is researched purely for the "fun" of it. The finding of dark matter merely shows that there are loops to be filled in our view of how the universe is kept together and has no practical application.

mmm

this is like Stephen Hawking making all these super dooper discoveries about things that no one ever thought about and then... OOPS we detected radiation from something that was 5+ billion years old... sorry steve... your theory just got shat on...

basically most of astronomy and the relevant sciences are based on philosophical principles.
i.e. weak anthropic principle:
The observed values of all physical and cosmological quantities are not equally probable but they take on values restricted by the requirement that there exist sites where carbon-based life can evolve and by the requirements that the Universe be old enough for it to have already done so."

which basically say that "we exist so something must have brought us to existence just the way we are now"...

so it's like knowing what y and x are but not having the equation... so we're basically putting any sorts of equations together and saying "this equation is correct because we get the right values of x and y (which we already know)"... when really there's so many probabilities and so much speculation that it's almost worthless to even try deriving the equation...

BUT.. like some people said in this thread.. it advances science, human thinking, etc., although I would argue strongly as to whether all these inventions (nuclear bombs, cloning, computers) are beneficial or not.
I really wanted a bigger opponent, like Nate Marquardt, or King Neptune, or Zeus, or Zeus and Fedor, or Fedor on Zeus's shoulders, and they can both punch but only Zeus can kick.

It pains me to think that there are people as ignorant as you, mazza.

The fact that physical models are made redundant by empirical observation is nothing original or surprising, we used to think that the Earth was the centre of the universe, and that it was flat.

Your criticism of "astronomy and the relevant sciences" is hilarious, and it is clear you do not understand the first thing about the substance or genesis of physical theories. I suppose Einstein threw "any sorts of equations together" when deriving general relativity, did he? Do you really have sufficient mathematical understanding to make such a statement? Do you know anything about physics beyond what is taught in schools?

Bernoulli's principle was pretty useless at one point, but now understanding of it allows us to fly. Maybe in the future all these "fun" discoveries will allow us to travel in space...

One hundred years ago humans worldwide lived a much more primitive lifestyle in comparison to today, your grandparents were raised by people brought up in victorian times for fucks sake...
a hundred years might seem like a long time to you but believe me, it's not, and no one on this planet (in the present) knows enough or has the right to say dark matter has "no practical application"...
you don't have a clue what you are talking about...

Edit: No offence man but what DO you know about dark matter?
Where are you getting this "has no practical application" view from, do you actually have any knowledge on the subject whatsoever =/?

I think this is very interesting...

Well, based on the article linked in the original post what is claimed to be the "proof" of dark matter is a new observation (collision of galactic clusters followed by a "separation" of dark matter and hot gas) which discredits some of the competing theories based presumably on modified general relativity. No doubt this is a quasi- big deal to the astrophysics community, but the article is sensationalized. It's just more evidence of what everyone already thought without any new hint as to the composition of dark matter...
