Galactic Plasmoids by Stephen Smith, March 26, 2013

Hundreds of TPODs have been published since the summer of 2004. In particular, we invite discussion of present and recent TPODs, perhaps with additional links to earlier TPOD pages. Suggestions for future pages will be welcome. Effective TPOD drafts will be MORE than welcome and could be your opportunity to become a more active part of the Thunderbolts team.

One of the components of dark matter theory is that they act like antiparticles, as well as particles. :roll: In other words, if two dark matter entities meet, they appear to one another like antimatter and convert their individual masses into energy. :roll: Conversely, there might be “anti-dark matter particles” that react with dark matter in the same way that antimatter is said to react with normal matter. :?


It gets darker and darker! :roll:

Newtonian theory insists that stars farther away ought to move more slowly, so dark matter was assumed to impart extra velocity to them,
I thought the driving force for expansion was dark energy. :?

It appears to the Great Dog that the article was discussing stellar orbits rather than uiversal expansion. Since that's the case, it's the gravity exerted by dark matter that's supposed to keep the stars inside their respective galaxy.
