  1. Yes, we know that your Mom told you that you are the smartest kid. It was all the teacher's fault that you were getting D and F grades. ;-)

  2. It was always a dark art for those who weren't paying enough attention in high school science class. ;-)

  3. You are correct about not being on the intelligence spectrum. ;-)

  4. Did you pull that turd out of your own rear? Not even the units are correct. ;-)

  5.  @magicsinglez  You are correct. You don't know what you are talking about. :-)

  6. She is spreading an unusual amount of false information here. A heavy dark matter candidate could, for instance, not be produced in any of our current accelerator facilities. There is absolutely nothing problematic about that.

  7. Do you need to learn to read and write to save humanity? No. We did just fine for almost 300,000 years without. :-)

  8. Awh, you are so cute when you are begging for attention. Here, let me give you some. ;-)

  9.  @carphone9385  What happened to you in school, anyway, that made you so afraid of knowledge? ;-)

  10.  @carphone9385  And why are you constantly feeling sorry for yourself? We told you to pay attention in school... and you didn't. Now you are a loser. What else did you expect to happen? ;-)

  11. Where do you see a failed experiment here, exactly? Oh, you weren't paying any attention when they tried to teach you about exclusion experiments. ;-)

  12.  @_DarkEmperor  Ah, so god's intelligent toe fungus told you that something that you have clearly observed (more mass than there should be) is NOT caused by a field that is entirely possible in a relativistic universe. Got it. So how do other people get this direct line to god's toe fungus? :-)

  13. Heavy gravitons have been discussed a lot, both in the past and currently, but they have a problem: a massive boson mediates a short range Yukawa-like force, i.e. one that weakens with distance. That would work, on some level, to model dark energy. It does not work to model dark matter for e.g. galactic rotation curves. I believe it might already be ruled out by the arrival times of gravitational waves and electromagnetic signals (gamma rays, I believe) from neutron star mergers. I might be wrong.

  14. One can't believe in something that has been measured. You need to look up the criteria for beliefs. ;-)

  15. I do like modified theories of gravity a lot, actually. They would be far better than conventional gravity if we want to have any chance to learn anything substantial about quantum gravity experimentally. The problem is that the versions that have been suggested so far don't seem to fit the data very well. That is no different from the suggested dark matter fields, of course. The main reason why many theorists on the high energy physics side of this prefer dark matter fields is because we have a suspicion that there is a whole lot of "heavy stuff" beyond the 1 TeV scale. It would solve a lot of detail problems that are unsolved in the standard model if there was a dark sector. Dark matter fields would therefor solve two seeming independent sets of problems at once. Independently of what preferences we have, the scientific method requires us to exclude all possible hypothesis one way or another, i.e. one can not stop searching for either MOND gravity theories or dark matter fields. That's simply not how science works.

  16. Yes, they all have a very happy amount of scientific curiosity, which you lack. ;-)

  17.  @methanbreather  What about string theory is wrong? Please be precise now. ;-)

  18. Not the size of the universe, but the size of SSC would have been nice.

  19. Goedel is about statements about infinite sets. There are no infinite sets in nature. Please try to show some intelligence while begging for attention. ;-)

  20. She is completely losing it now. ;-)

  21. You can't even tell dark matter and dark energy apart, kid. A violation of the isotropy assumption may have consequences for dark energy measurements, but it is irrelevant to local effects like weak lensing and galactic rotation curves. At least try to show some intelligence while you are begging for attention. ;-)

  22. Dude, the term "dark matter" IS the name for observations. "Dark matter fields" are one possible explanation for them, but they are not the only one. At least try to get the terminology right while you are begging for attention. ;-)
