Trang 1Theory (or poem) on the Nature of Dark Matter
One of the great mysteries of physics today is what to make of the vast unaccounted for presence of what we call “Dark Matter”
Physicists, being based in and on the world of the physical, are poring through
calculations, but seem stuck at the conceptual level Conceiving of some thing that might fit the bill of being present, and yet absent - or at least unobservable – is a real problem for the human mind
I want to suggest a possibility
It’s very simple, conceptually, but its “proof of pudding” may take an eternity – at the very least
Dark matter might just be the “presence” of the future
Yes, of course, this seems whacky at best, and insane, at worst
But, let’s think
When we use our best telescopes, we are able to see backwards in time
The further we look, in space, the further we also look back in time
Could there not be – conceivably- a point in the universe, at the convergence of Space-Time, where the whole unfolding of Space-Time was apparent?
And where all past and future is present?
And could Dark Matter be that presence, even if, from our current perspective, it is never comprehensibly manifest as “physicality”?
Shall we ever see it that way?
In fact, the 6th Century Roman philosopher and musical theorist Boethius has put it that way - somewhat - in his Consolation of Philosophy
But, to transplant his conception of "moral-mental" space into a conception of
Physical space-time seems unimaginable
But then, what are these pages for, if not to ?
