Dark Matter

 

Maybe scientists are going about the search for dark matter all wrong. Instead of just looking for matter which neither emits nor reflects light (or photons) – but which evidently does exert a (positive) gravitational force and possesses dark energy – maybe they should try to make it. Perhaps they should take a look at the 36 or so known particles – such as quarks, gluons, and neutrinos – and then attempt to combine them in some novel way. This might yield a recipe for darkness. And if physicists can create a pure anti-photonic glob of something, Occam’s razor suggests that this is the most likely form of it in the cosmos. So scientists can focus most of their sensing devices on that.

Once dark matter is manufactured, its nature should provide all kinds of clues as to what dark energy is too. Of course, scientists might want to try to create dark energy before dark matter, or concoct them simultaneously. Scientists might also search for some kind of mathematical formula or physics equation to suggest how dark matter or energy might exist in theory. This could help in the struggle to create dark matter and thence find it in our galaxy and universe.

Of course, it may simply be that dark matter is black holes. That alone would explain the too-rapid revolution of stars, galaxies, and galaxy clusters. And maybe some of the black holes consist of anti-matter or even some version of "right-handed" matter. Partially repulsive black holes of this type may explain the accelerating expansion of the universe.
