The idiots that pose as astrophysicists these days are thinking of imbuing dark matter with magnetic properties (a new gnome) to explain another gnome that’s having serious problems (gnomes on top of gnomes on top of gnomes) …

"Magnetic" dark matter may be accelerating the universe's expansion

By Michael Irving

The expansion of the universe is accelerating, but we’re not really sure why. The current best models give the driving force the placeholder name of “dark energy” – but that might not even exist. A new study has found that if dark matter had some unusual magnetic properties, it could explain the observed expansion.

… snip …

“We don’t know much about dark matter other than that it is a heavy and slow particle,” says Steen Harle Hansen, lead author of the study. “But then we wondered – what if dark matter had some quality that was analogous to magnetism in it? We know that as normal particles move around, they create magnetism. And, magnets attract or repel other magnets – so what if that’s what’s going on in the universe? That this constant expansion of dark matter is occurring thanks to some sort of magnetic force?”

The team developed a new model that incorporated the knowns of the universe, like gravity and the speed of the expansion, but ignored the “cosmological constant” that drives the acceleration of that expansion. In its place, they gave the dark matter particles an extra force that’s proportional to its velocity squared, making it similar to magnetism.

Intriguingly, in this new model the simulated universe expanded in the exact same way as the real one has been observed to do. The dark matter’s repellent, magnetism-like force was enough to accelerate the expansion of the universe, suggesting something similar could be happening in reality.

Of course, this study alone doesn’t disprove the existence of dark energy, nor that dark matter is magnetic in any way. But it’s an interesting idea, and one that requires further investigation using more detailed models.

And of course … all they need is more of your money to do that! It's not cheap to build a house of cards.

Gee, if we add an extra force that is "like" magnetism, but not "really' like magnetism, and actually more like electrically charged particles which continuously repel other similarly charged particles, we don't need "dark energy", or 70 percent of the mainstream model anymore? Who would have guessed?

I love how they use the term 'magnetism' in spite of the fact that magnetism wouldn't actually work because DM particles they would not just repel other DM particle, but also attract them if they used 'actual' magnetism, so it's "like" magnetism that acts exactly like charge repulsion.

Yet "charged" surface stars, and charge repulsion between plasma ions are still out of the question.

This is like watching a bunch of five year olds trying to explain how a car works.

Hmmm. Michael Irving. Didn't he write Love Story? Being an astrophysicist means never having to say "electricity".

Kinda like clowns emerging from the clown car.

It's gnomes - all the way down.
