G day.. thats not feet on the ground stuff but I compliment your vision of the possibilities.
It seems every second day another "dark matter" candidate is put forward.
They are finding less support for "macro" by virtue of the observations and I dont think the search in the cleaning fliud is finding as many "wimps" as they had hoped (not even in the area of the expected numbers that the experiments should reveal.
I personally think they are barking up the wrong tree in looking for dark matter as "gravity rain" explains it away and although thats only one idea it is an idea that requires no dark matter..it may not be on the money either but it may not be the only idea that can do away with dark matter either.are there alternatives being investigated or will they doggedly stick to the current search...so I say are they looking for something they will not find even though the theory demands it to remain at the front. My observation is simply if dark matter is the major ingredient (supposedly) of our Universe it really should be somewhat easier to determine than the search is showing it to be..if there is so much of it show it to me.. It is difficult to imagine that something that plays such a large part of the machinery of everything simply is so difficult to "show in the flesh"..is that unreasonable, does a laymen have the right to make such a pointed comment? It seems to me that if you want dark matter stop talking and produce the goods... all that has been put forward to date only offers encouragement to keep looking as it seems there is not enough coming thru to say the dark matter issue is a sure thing.
I would love to hear how space time could be bent to form a worm hole I have looked long and hard at as much as I have been able to access re this and again I think it is theory running away withitself ...I mean draw a space time grid on a sheet of paper and experiment how such a thing could occur..I can not see how so it is a matter I reject.. Such a proposition is no better than the prospect of travelling at C x 100,000 as we see in Star Trek and the like...the mind can entertain it but I doubt if it will ever come to pass.
