WAITING FOR GODOT. “To detect dark matter we need to know how it’s distributed, in particular in the Milky Way galaxy, and there has been significant recent (and ongoing) progress in this field from both observations and simulations.” https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM. “The ΛCDM cosmological model, in which the Universe is flat with 25% of the energy density being in the form of cold, non-baryonic, dark matter is a good fit to a wide range of observations (nucleosynthesis, CMB, large scale structure, type 1a supernovae). However we don’t (yet...) know what dark matter (or dark energy) is.” (ΛCDM = A-Cold-Dark-Matter standard model of cosmology; CMB = cosmic microwave background). https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

NEWTONIAN COMPONENTS. “To a classical physicist, all things are a combination of mass, energy, length, and time.” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

BORDERLESS ITEMS. “Only this requires no definition. Only this is mind independent. For every thing, we arbitrarily define where it begins and ends, but if we don't define any borders, the each thing's existence bleeds into its environment, and all that is left is the objective universe itself.” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

JOINING THE DOTS. “If there is no definition, there are no properties, no parts. If there is no delimitation, no borders defined, it is all-inclusive. It is the entire world as a oneness with no parts.” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

EVERYTHING IS DEFINED. “By rephrasing it in that way we see that Boole is implying that there are no things which have no properties, no definition. ie: Things which have no definition do not exist. And since these definitions come from minds, it means that everything is mind-dependent.” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

DEFINITION. “That means every given thing must have a consistent definition (a definition which doesn't contradict itself), and that thing must be defined in contrast to something else (otherwise it wouldn't be a given thing, it would be the entire universe).” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

RESTATED. “This might sound obvious but we realize something profound if we rephrase it slightly. Being identical to itself means having the same properties, and being different from something else means having different properties, and the set of properties which apply to a given thing are determined by the definition of the thing.” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

BOOLEAN LOGIC. “You're asking if every thing in the universe connects. George Boole (creator of Boolean Logic) stated that any given thing must be identical to itself (if not it would be a different thing), and also it must be different from another thing (if not it would be the self-same thing).” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

THE STARTING POINT. “Q. Does everything in the universe connect? A. First let's answer that question logically, and then see if empirical science confirms the logical conclusion.” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn
