On the subject of handbags: Have you noticed that some handbags contain dark matter, they must do because they weigh far more than their size permits

Quick someone tell all the scientists that the location of dark matter has been found (they know it exists but don't actually know where it is, or what it looks like.)

Does it exist, or, is it something that helps their formulae work out?

Sometimes I wonder. From what I know (which isn't much) then no-one has ever seen it. It's believed to exist because it would be the opposite to matter. I'm sure everything in science has an opposite. Yin Yang, + and - that kind of thing.

So what is the opposite of heat ?

Maybe cold??

That is a lack of heat

Good point.

Surely heat is the resilt of the temperature being high so cold is the temperature being low.

So opposite is high / low

We should create a new thread

But, its not opposite

Isn't it?? I give up. I'm not a scientist. Maybe not everything has an opposite. Ok I googled it.

Dark Matter Detailed

Scientists figure dark matter must exist because of the way galaxies rotate. In simple Newton's-first-law terms, moving things will remain moving in a straight line unless some force causes a change in direction. For the stars in a galaxy to remain in orbit around the galaxy's center, some force must be acting on them, and the only possible candidate, at such distances, is gravity.

But the gravity attributable to the stuff we can see is way too feeble to "glue" galaxies together.

It's dark matter -- or more exactly, the gravity it exerts -- that must supply the force holding galaxies together, and lots of dark matter is needed to do the job. The numbers seem to change each month, but roughly 80 percent of all matter in the universe is that unseeable flavor.
