What? I didn’t know that fact.
Dark matter is crazy. A separate field of science created by an observed inconsistency in the 1930s. We are just arriving at a time where technology can test theories put forth almost a century ago.
I don’t know why this topic isn’t number one everywhere lol.
It's not really a topic everyone understands. The first time of hearing about dark matter was on this blockchain and its because I am a stem enthusiast. It means there are still a large number of users that don't even know anything about black matters.
Fyi: lemouth is a professor of particle physics and he's been working on dark matter for years. You check his blog to read about some of his research.
Thank you for the reference! I’ll check it out. I agree not everyone understands it. My wife gives me a glossy eyes stare when I talk to her about radiation exposure management at work. My sons though, one is two and the other is three, are getting early introductions into STEM. It can be fun if you let them have fun with it.
I am not the father of dark matter, this is a bit exaggerated (although those nice words were very kind and reading them made me happy).
As said by gentleshaid, I work in the field of high-energy physics research, and a large fraction of my research output is connected with dark matter. I usually blog about my work, or the work of colleagues. At least I used to back in the days. Those days, it is however hard for me to produce more than one post every 7-10 days. Time is what it is: short ^^
He did say you were the father of dark matter on the Hive Blockchain. There may be some truth to that statement.
Funny and true story. When @gentleshaid mentioned you were a particle physicist a picture similar to what's below immediately appeared in my mind.
Clearly, something of this nature isn't true, but it goes to show how little one may know of someone else's occupation. Interestingly enough, someone at my job gave me a similar remark when they asked me about how I came up with trends and predictions for maintenance activities.
Hahaha :)
Don't worry, I am just a normal human being, like probably most of us :)
