The newly-proposed dark matter is thought to make up one fifth of all dark matter in the universe. If dark atoms exist, they are likely formed by dark protons and dark electrons capable of interacting and performing dark chemistry.

That is all speculation, no single dark particle has been found. If dark matter has electromagnetic charge, it would interact with light, and, thus it would not be dark?
ReplyDeleteIs this really SCIENCE?
Ummm this is a good theory and may have substance. I'll follow up. Would u like to debate about what science really is?
ReplyDeleteScience is about making theories and veri- or falsifying them by observations.
ReplyDeleteAnything beyond the Standard Model is difficult.
In short words my opinion as someone who has studied Theoretical Physics some years ago.
The standard model + Higgs has yet to many parameters and does not explain gravitation.
Dark matter seems to be necessary to form galaxies, where as the dark energy drives the acceleration of the universe which, contains 4.9% ordinary matter, 26.8% dark matter and 68.3% dark energy according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_energy
String theory results in 10^500 possible universes, from the positivistic point of view, I only see single one. Either we sit in a cave
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_Cave or this is just metaphysics.
My favourite is Loop Quantum Gravity LQG
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_quantum_gravity
because it starts from scratch with graphs, gives the General Relativity Space Time as a result and not as an input. And some of the guys came from the same Physics Institute I have studied.
Look at the references from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Bojowald
He claims to go before the Big Bang, which is a Big Bounce in LQG.
But not yet verified...
It is exciting.
