On the science channel (not the DISCOVERY science channel for all you non cable peopl) There is going to be show about how a large amount of matter in our univerise is missing. It airs June 13th at 9p.m. It might have some psionic related theorys or actual room for psionic theorys, but then again that 's just a guess. Anyways it might be something worth while for us at psipog Very Happy

It might have more to do with "Dark Matter" than Psi Razz.

But, still an interesting subject!

Do you mean the same as anti-matter?

In cosmology, dark matter refers to matter particles, of unknown composition, that do not emit or reflect enough electromagnetic radiation to be detected directly, but whose presence may be inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter such as stars and galaxies. Dark matter explains several anomalous astronomical observations, such as anomalies in the rotational speed of galaxies (the galaxy rotation problem). Estimates of the amount of matter present in galaxies, based on gravitational effects, consistently suggest that there is far more matter than is directly observable. The existence of dark matter also resolves a number of seeming inconsistencies in the Big Bang theory, and is crucial for structure formation.


Heh.. Confused
I'm going to watch the program anyway, Sounds interesting.

No it's not the same.

:swings on a swing when the set suddenly disappears:

I am so definitely watching it since tomorrow is the last day of school Very Happy. It's funny how we started off with Aer, Fire, Water, and Earth, and the Ether, now we've got positive mass, negative mass, dark energy (sorta one in the same), mesons, bosons, pions, kaons,

Yeah, I know, I'm a geek. Deal. Razz

BTW antimatter is not quite the same as dark/negative matter because you can have positively massed antimatter and negatively massed antimatter.

It's funny because of the force formula for gravity, a positive mass particle will be repelled from a negative mass, but the negative mass is drawn to the positive mass. Therefore, the pos/neg pair will chase each other indefinitely.

I think dark matter and negative mass matter refers to the same stuff (hard to tell since we haven't discovered it yet) because both repel positive mass, therefore we get the continually expanding universe theory.
