Thanks for the video, I have watched it before. I think we are both right. There has to be a correlation of the two to counteract inflation. Though they are both different in make-up; like everything else in the universe they interact. It is like a conundrum of emotions that exist, but each emotion means a different thing to each individual, yet all come from the same source. Another example is the balance in nature we can either look at it as different species or as one collection of life itself.Thanks for your comment

Birdingnut, you are a breath of fresh air. Is dark matter and its ability really something we can see and measure? Let me take you nearer to home and see if we can study it at close range. After much research which I can explain if it is needed, it is a fact that life on earth is just one energy; life started as one and is still evolving as one. The one energy that brings variety to the balance of life is beyond our control at the moment, it is fully in charge but only because we don't understand. (dark matter) Can you imagine if one day we could understand it, the magic would become real. Think of all the mutations that happen just to fit within the the circle of life. Ghosts which can only come from the living and not the dead; dreams of the future, plus all the unexplained supernatural phenomenon will start to unravel,we will find ourselves with scientific knowledge that for now we can only dream of. Energy (dark matter)has its fundamental pattern, obeying the same laws throughout the universe and here on earth too. What I see, but don't see, is more of this pattern shouting out, and not being heard. You will only for the first time experience dark matter if you can wipe clean from your mind the complexity of life and subjugate.

i fear this question could go on for a whiles as we all nit pick the multitude of variables within it and thats without the really smart people turning up so im going to say yes and no and come back in a couple of days and see

the number of scientists on this site astounds me . Agnostic . com will soon win the Noble Prize for Astrophysics

You haven't yet posted a profile photo, written a profile, or answered the profile questions. I feel uncomfortable talking to men who hide their identities.

This website has a bit of a learning curve, so here's some info, in case you need it.

For members who are open to dating, certain thumbnails and profiles have a heart symbol on them with a percentage. This identifies which members are open to dating, and the percent shows approximately how compatible others are with them.

You gain website points by uploading a recent photo of your face, answering all the profile questions and writing a bio, which also earns website points, and helps other members get to know you.

Commenting on posts and writing your own posts earns more points. At level two you can private message people, and at level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

If you want to date, the website uses profile algorithms to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.

Many people prefer to see a written profile talking about interests, hobbies, and backgrounds that can be quickly perused to find others with similar interests..

In case you didn't know yet, to find members near you, click on the "Browse" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Click on the "Discuss" button, then "Nearby" to find members near you also.
Or click on the "About" button at the top left of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.
Points are now being given to level 3+ members who chat. You can see chat rooms on the group main page or at [agnostic.com].

Hmm..you might not be keeping with the latest physics news.

In 2016, the idea was reintroduced that dark matter doesn’t exist at all; no missing matter is needed to explain the errant motions of the heavenly bodies; rather, on cosmic scales, gravity itself works in a different way than either Isaac Newton or Albert Einstein predicted.

Erik Verlinde, a theoretical physicist at the University of Amsterdam casts gravity as a byproduct of quantum interactions and suggests that the extra gravity attributed to dark matter is an effect of “dark energy”—the background energy woven into the space-time fabric of the universe.

In his calculations, Verlinde rediscovered the equations of “modified Newtonian dynamics,” or MOND.
Instead of hordes of invisible particles, “dark matter is an interplay between ordinary matter and dark energy,” Verlinde said.

Einstein defined gravity as the effect of curves in space-time created by the presence of matter. According to the new approach, gravity is an emergent phenomenon. Space-time and the matter within it are treated as a hologram that arises from an underlying network of quantum bits (called “qubits” ), much as the three-dimensional environment of a computer game is encoded in classical bits on a silicon chip.

Working within this framework, Verlinde traces dark energy to a property of these underlying qubits that supposedly encode the universe. On large scales in the hologram, he claims, dark energy interacts with matter in just the right way to create the illusion of dark matter.

In a new analysis of galaxies published on Nov. 9 in Physical Review Letters, three astrophysicists led by Stacy McGaugh of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, have strengthened the case against dark matter.

The researchers analyzed a diverse set of 153 galaxies, and for each one they compared the rotation speed of visible matter at any given distance from the galaxy’s center with the amount of visible matter contained within that galactic radius. Remarkably, these two variables were tightly linked in all the galaxies by a universal law, dubbed the “radial acceleration relation.”

This makes perfect sense in the MOND paradigm, since visible matter is the exclusive source of the gravity driving the galaxy’s rotation (even if that gravity does not take the form prescribed by Newton or Einstein). With such a tight relationship between gravity felt by visible matter and gravity given by visible matter, there would seem to be no room, or need, for dark matter.

You are getting ahead of yourself we don't classify dark matter or dark energy as actual matter or energy because we don't know what they are. The terms dark energy and dark matter are place holders for those unknown quantities until we can define them.

We know something is there based on the effect it has on physical objects in the universe, but definitively categorizing it is premature.
