  1. Dark matter was predicted in 1933 by Fritz Zwicky in the USA, so has a long history. The behaviour of galaxies cannot be explained by the known laws of physics, so there may be laws of Nature which we have not yet discovered.
    It is also possible that the constants of Nature have changed over time, in which case explaining the very early Universe will be impossible. For example, if the velocity of light has changed since the beginning of the Universe, then Einstein's E= MC^2 would produce a different amount of energy from the same amount of mass as it does today.

  2. Easy peasy here! If dark matter fills all the space between all voids, then that is the ancient metaphysical description of a substance called AKASHA. IT THEREFORE IS A MOLD FOR MATTER. IN SOME WAY ALL WAYS OF ENERGY ARE IMPRESSED ON DARK MATTER AND BY SOME SORT OFVREVERSE ACTION IT DICTATES WHAT IS THE SHAPE AND SEQUENCE OF MATTER AND EVENTS!!!

  3. Im a simple guy that barley understands much or retains much.

    But listening and watching all the information possible, relative to my interests. You my dear, have caught my attention enough to add you to my regular information binge

    Your comedic and thorough attitude towards the future is inspiring. 🤘👍

  4. This is rather sad that she ridiculize other physicists to sort of drive her point. It shows vividly that she is rather biased in her interpretation of things. She gives the impression of possessing the absolute truth. Hélas, sa credibilité est d'autant plus basse que cette négativité est élevée! Ce n'est pas une vraie scientifique à mes yeux car elle ne montre pas un soupçon d'humilité. She is ranting literally!

  5. Sabina, can you please comment on the recent news headline about scientists generating matter from light and that it violates the standard model.

  6. I know this is a strange comment, but I have to compliment you on your choice of dress for this episode.
    In particular, the colour seems to fit well with the backgrounds and general subjects that you deal with.
    It's not overstated or understated – just a lovely colour. Maybe this is just a consensus of opinion rather than proof, but perhaps someone knows if there is a "standard scientific method" for such things? 🙂
    (I.E. proof that an "opinion" is valid or invalid).

  7. I’ve never heard the word “ignite” appied to quasars.
    I thought quasars were bright because an astronomical jet beamed from the quasar poles was pointed almost right at us. I thought the jets were related to matter falling in towards the black hole and forming an accretion disc, which happens at unpredictable times depending on location of nearby matter. I’m unsure how what you talk about relates to the jets. Are you talking about long-time-scale average amount of infalling matter, influenced by galaxy collisions?

  8. Brazil nut = Archimedes law! Bigger nut volume has bigger lifting power. The fact the water particles became small nuts and solid makes no difference. You can check it by increasing the density of the "Brazilian nut" by replacing it with metal ball. Then it will fall downwards. These humans…
