could you please tell me what dark matter is, ive always wanted to know.

Well I'm no scientist. From what I understand is that according to the calculations there should be a lot more matter in the universe. This matter that's missing is called dark matter. We can't see it so it doesn't react with EM radiation. The only way to detect it is from their gravitational effects.

Here is a pic from the Hubble.

Dark matter = so called vacuum = the aether = 99.9% of everything in existence.

If the universe was an ocean, the aether would be the water. And everything else would be the waves.

This wave-aether-theory explains everything, and the mechanics behind everything. But for some reason, most people rather stick to a theory that can't even explain gravity next to a three word explanation of "bending of space-time". People rather stick to believing there is such a ridiclous thing as "vacuum", and people rather stick to believing in the wave-particle duality, a paradox that can easily be solved by realizing that there are no particles, just standing waves. There is no matter, just condensed energy. e=mc². Amazing isn't it. How rusted beliefs beat common sense... but hey, at one time everyone believed the earth was flat! Guess you can't expect too much at the same time

If it explains everything, then you must have some sort of mathematical equations to show it scientifically. I don't understand how you can talk like that about things you most likely don't even understand. Unless you're a physicist (if you are I'm sorry).

I mean look at every religious person on the globe. It's common sense that the world created the universe in 7 days etc. I like it how you say the same. Oh well... Common sense beats science every day.

Of course I have: http://www.glafreniere.com/matter.htm

What makes you think I don't understand? I've studied physics, but what does it matter if the theory I'm proposing here is completely different?! Everyone can understand. You don't need to know anything about physics at all, because this is a new theory. It's like you're saying I need to be a christian in order to understand the Koran...

The earth is created in 7 days = common sense? Maybe in America such a thing is possible. Here in Europe there has never been an argument about creationism and evolution. Because nobody ever took the 7 day creation litterally. In America, both sides take it litterally. One side claims the Bible is full of bullshit because the earth couldn't have been created in 7 days, the other side claims the Bible is the exact word of God down to the very letter. Both sides don't seem to get it.

I said that because many just verbalize their ideas without any regard to the scientific method. It's wrong to have prejudice though, I'm sorry.
I wanted to say that common sense is relative and that it shouldn't be used when trying to portray a point. There is just about everything which is common sense for somebody.

Yeah indeed good point, everything could be common sense.

Chayba don't pretend to understand astrophysics; you don't.

Dark matter and dark energy are a conceptual kind of matter which do not interact with electromagnetism (so are not easily observed). They are a mathematical necessity to explain the anomalous rotational speeds of galaxies and other phenomena, as they would provide extra gravitational force. There's about 74% dark energy and 22% dark matter in the universe.

The aether has been completely disproved. The Michelson-Morely experiment did this over 100 years ago. Einstein's theories of relativity were then developed in order to be consistent with a lack of aether; there are only relative positions in space. There is no immobile aether in which everything has an absolute position.
