The Universe's missing mass - do you buy it?

Still banging on about this merlin? Have you had your paper peer-reviewed yet?

By physicists of the "Standard Model"? Not likely.

By anyone?

By anyone?

By "anyone" I presume you mean any academically qualified physicist, since the hypothetical argument on my blog concerns, in the first instance, the experimental evidence of quantum physics, and from which the justification and development of a sufficiently clear and detailed causal hypothesis is an essential step, because the subsequent argument from the large scale natural evidence is only possible in the light of this hypothesis.

Well, I've had difficulty obtaining any response whatsoever from any physicist on the Internet to polite invitations for their comments on my document, let alone from any of that very rare breed who don't accept the standard model of quantum theory.

Whereas you'd think that if what I say is plain nonsense at least someone amongst at least fifty individuals I've contacted either by email or other means would at least provide some terse and apposite comments as to why they think my argument is nonsense.

While I can think of plenty of reasons why I get no response that are not to do with any faults in my argument, and even from "non-standard-modelists". One of these reasons being that my argument is not derived in any detail from any existing quantum theory or interpretation, and even though I can and do say that and how my quantum hypothes is consistent with the "hidden variables" quantum mechanics described by David Bohm in his papers published in 1952.

And another reason for this lack of response to my hypothesis from the scientific community is, of course, the large amount of quantum and cosmological theory that would need to be chucked out or radically revised given the validity of a nonlocal and extra-dimensional general theory of natural organisation.

Also, as the late great Douglas Adams put it 'nobody likes a smartarse' and especially someone entirely outside the scientific community who could make all your work as a theoretical physicist obsolete.

But the biggest irony on this forum is that fact that my most forthright antagonist is a bloke who calls himself Kropotkin.

So if anyone ever bothers to read my blog paper all the way through, they can deduce that, in light of a quantum theory of natural organisation - where a species form conserving cause can be conceived - the evolutionary significance of what Piotr Kropotkin called 'mutual aid' can be emphasised once again. And, indeed, I'd go as far as to say that the collective acceptance of such a theory would make the successful and widespread development of anarchistic utopian communities a practical possibility. While terrorist threats from religious fundamentalists could become a thing of the past.

Which is most fundamentally why I will keep 'banging on' about my blog hypothesis for as long as it takes.

But more than this, it may be concluded that a theory of universal nonlocally acting cause and its effects will provide a knowledge of the universe that includes all life on Earth that human beings were meant to acquire to reach a new stage in their evolution. And so that they can live in greater harmony with one another and the natural environment.

Whereas a physics that assumes the universal action of the push or pull causes alone is not just theoretically wrong about the universe in general but but provides the wrong idea of a world that lacks any purpose or enough significance from a human point of view.

So I say a theory that puts an end to the idea of dark matter will also finally put an end to the dark ages of human history. And by clearly showing that and hpw the natural organisation of matter and the energy it radiates means that the universe has an extraordinary interconnected significance for human beings.

This could be why most qualified physicists quietly ignore your ideas.

It may be smart to do some research and locate an academic physicist who is prepared to entertain "hidden variables" is their physics (there are not many of them, but they do exist). A nicely written letter to someone like that who follows Bohm's ideas may at least elicit some sort of reply.

Tried it already with three people and got no reply. But, in any case, those physicists who are strongly into "hidden variables" Bohmian-type quantum mechanics really are a tiny minority, and there are none who are prominent names in physics (like David Bohm himself and John Stuart Bell who both died in the 1990's).

So even if I got a Bohmian mechanic on my side, there's the problem of whether any other physicists would take any notice of or back a theory that could pose a real threat to their own theories and to the sales all the books they have written about such theories.

But I'm not worrying quite so much at the moment, because in the past week or so I've started working on a new improved approach to the theory. And I do have the resources to pay for the self-publication of a book if necessary.

This is almost starting to sound a bit silly to me. There's this big thing, we know it's out there but can't see it. It's everywhere. Almost sounds like the start of a new religion. I don't actually understand any of this stuff so it sounds like gobbledy-gook, fascinating though it is.
There's fuck all in space anyway.

(Not much in the space between some people's ears, it seems, anyway.)
