foodchain Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Ok, pure speculation I devised while doing some dishes:D This is sort of based on my deformed understanding of GR I guess and some QM I would suggest, be aware though this is purely speculation. Ok, lets say dark stuff, dark matter/dark energy is the most primordial substance. Now lets say in this it has some degree of physics that currently is not understood save for interaction with gravity/time. Now lets say some weird quantum effect took place in which this basic substance was able to gain mass, or take on a form such as an electron or photon for example, or in general something that we see in the visible universe currently. Boom, you have your bang in a sort of reaction which gives rise to current physics of such, in accordance still with time and or gravity, which is really such rippling out through the dark stuff in some form of a constant. Now the only direct relationship the physics of such shares is via gravity because they both interact through time, which on a quantum level in the only thing such still has in common with the dark stuff. Now this is a general probability from a quantum system which interacts with time and space, and it produced a field like affect that gives rise to a continuity. So what do you think? Do I win an internet award somewhere for this at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I don't know, but I think you've won the confusing the hell out of me award. I was with you, a little hazy but ok.. and then BOOM. i was lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I see no reason why (in principle) dark matter could not decay into other known particles via a gravitational interaction. Remembering that dark matter should only interact gravitationally, but as we don't know what dark matter really is it is hard to say what decays are possible. I imagine that some cosmological bounds are known. However, I would expect such a process to be extremely suppressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
