Why do we think there’s dark matter out there, and what could it be?

@Ridertenan @ScienceTip We’re well aware there’s more to gravity than GR. Problem is there’s no clear candidate for an alternative theory to move on to!

@lyingclowns @BrockRiddickIFB @EvadKing1 The atmosphere rotates around with the Earth, but the atmosphere isn't one big homogeneous lump. There are currents and flows on top of the background motion of the bulk atmosphere. These carry clouds.

The balancing of gravitational and lift forces does that automatically if you maintain your velocity.

@JasonBjorn5 @BrockRiddickIFB The pressure decreases gradually from ground-level out to space. No barrier needed. It's the same with the deep sea and sea-level. Pressure down at the Mariana trench is huge compared to the pressure at sea-level, but you don't need a barrier over the surface of the sea.

@comp_phys_mark The difficulty is there’s no way to demonstrate the two particles are actually interacting. All you’re doing is observing two distinct particles (that did interact at some point in the past) and finding statistically significant correlations between their properties.

@APSphysics Max Tegmark’s “Our Mathematical Universe” was a magical read for me back in secondary school.

[Shots In The Quark @QuarkShots]

@PhysInHistory It manages to predict particle physics phenomena to astonishing levels of accuracy. And yet gravitational physics is completely left out! One hopes a “complete” fundamental theory will look much more elegant than this!

[Shots In The Quark @QuarkShots]

I don’t think people who argue that “relativity is a load of nonsense” realise quite how few assumptions the theory rests on. It only requires that

1. The laws of physics are the same regardless of your speed

2. The speed of light is independent of the speed of the source

[Shots In The Quark @QuarkShots]

@Vieux_Rhone @Climatologist49 I mean, there’s nothing inconsistent with averaging our phone numbers. Why you expect Father Christmas to answer though is beyond me. Probably demonstrative of how delusional you are.

[Shots In The Quark @QuarkShots]

@Vieux_Rhone @Climatologist49 It makes little difference whether the quantity is intensive or extensive. In both cases an estimate for the average can be obtained.

[Shots In The Quark @QuarkShots]

@OwenBenjamin If light required a medium, you would expect the measured speed of light to depend on your own motion with respect to that medium. All experiments confirm to a very high degree of accuracy, however, that the speed of light is independent of the speed of the source.

@Broji6515 @TiaopiLaohu @fjgwey @kissmyricks @theneedledrop Theories are frameworks that define the concepts and quantities that laws relate. Ergo, laws don't make sense unless they're embedded within an overarching theory. Laws are meaningless without theories.

@thengachamanthi It's the best subject! It's about how the world works, and the way it works is pretty bonkers! I do videos on this stuff :P

[Shots In The Quark @QuarkShots]

@Vieux_Rhone @Climatologist49 As a physicist, I can confirm this is utter rubbish. You can average over temperature in any environment homogeneous or non-homogeneous. Measure the temperature in a load of different places, add them up, divide by the total. Easy.
