Why Dark Matter cannot be measured.

[Spoonthumb]

What if Dark Matter is not measurable? What if Dark matter or Dark Energy is in fact something more akin to an emotion? The amount of Dark energy may not be able to be measured like the ability to create joy, ecstasy, happiness cannot be measured. Could Dark energy be a force that comes and goes without any parameters? I mean joy is real, happiness is real but you cannot feel it, taste it, measure it or touch it and one minute it is not there and the next overcomes you or even many people at once. Also the persons ability to create this feeling cannot be measured or compared to anothers.

In a library where there were 100 people sitting quietly a page being turned goes unnoticed and almost doesn't exist. If suddenly someone or a group starts a commotion then the whole library takes on a new feeling, a different atmosphere and a heavy feeling overcomes everyone in it. This feeling often takes a long time to dissipate often outlasting the incident itself all immeasurable but quite real and quite strong for everyone in it. Could this be how Dark Energy behaves? Perhaps Dark energy is a static emotion that when disturbed disapears or grows weak. Is that why there seems to be less of it or even none on Earth?

Dark matter can be measured by its gravitational effect. Dark energy is still hypothetical. None of them to do with emotions (which, by the way, can be measured neurologically). So whatever medicinal issues there are, it's not to do with either dark matter or dark energy.

According to wikipedia, "According to the Planck mission team, and based on the standard model of cosmology, the total mass–energy of the universe contains 4.9% ordinary matter, 26.8% dark matter and 68.3% dark energy." See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_energy

 

Ordinary and dark matter contribute gravity to our Universe, which tend to decelerate the expansion of matter. Dark energy causes and accelerating force on matter in opposition to gravity.
