Theorizing Dark Matter, Dark Energy and Their Interactions With Sub-Atomic Particles


Recommended Posts

Posted

The physicists I see in documentaries very much talk about Dark Matter and Dark Energy. Is there any model that can explain both alongside their relationships with the visible matter?

Before raising the next point, let me say I am not a patient for whom you will call the nurse “he is trying to walk again." So please stay calm and reply on topic only.

If someone wants to propose a theoretical model that somewhat can explain realities of subatomic particles, dark matter, dark energy, etc. then what’s the right place and right way to do it? Should it be in the shape as students get introduced to theory of relativity in academic books, or does it need to be in the shape of a research work where everything's references are to be given?

And most importantly, are there any groups in this forum that are actually working on theorizing the interactions between Dark Matter, Dark Energy and Sub-Atomic particles? :)

Most theories treat dark energy and dark matter as completely separate things. They have different effects and the only thing they have in common is the word "dark".

 

However, there are a couple of attempts to explain both effects by a common mechanism that I have seen. For example: http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0111325 ( Unification of Dark Matter and Dark Energy: the Inhomogeneous Chaplygin Gas)

I'm not sure what you are asking. Where to publish such a theory? You would need to submit it to a suitable peer-reviewed journal. You would need a thorough understanding of both General Relativity and Quantum Theory. (Einstein struggled to get to grips with the mathematics of GR, but that is the easy bit!)
