Superconducting materials found in meteorites

This likely means superconducting materials and accompanying EM forces exist throughout the universe in unseen objects of assorted sizes, large and small, down to grains of dust, therefore the universe is saturated with EM forces in such a ubiquitous extent that has not previously been recognized or considered. Is it possible this can account for the embarassing "missing mass" situation?

Huh, how does that work? Finding traces of superconducting materials in a meorite accounts for missing mass how, exactly?

[Maol]

Isn't the premise "missing mass" is necessary to explain galaxy rotation in the gravity model of the universe, but EU offers the postulate that EM forces can explain galaxy rotation as a homopolar motor and eliminate the need for unseen mass.

Given that superconductivity provides stronger magnetic field activity leads to ponder whether superconducting dust grains might enhance or in some way influence interstellar and intergalactic plasma to provide more powerful homopolar motor effect.

In any case, assuming assorted size superconducting masses exist in interplanetary and interstellar space wherever the temperature is low enough to enable superconductivity, such masses must have significant effect on electric current flow and associated EM forces in the astrophysical plasma.

Is that the premise? I don't know, you tell me.

Superconducting electro-magnets give higher magnetic fields than conventional electro-magnets because the continuous solid windings can carry more current without heating up or losses. I don't see how that is relevant to almost infinitesimally tiny traces of superconducting materials in the rock matrix of a couple of meteorites

Why must they have a "significant effect on electric current flow and associated EM forces in the astrophysical plasma", given that, in the plasma, even if they exist, they must do so as extremely sparse individual grains. Do the sums for me.

[Maol]

An electric current in superconducting material can persist indefinitely with no power source.

And sooooo? Superconducting materials only superconduct where they are pure and continuous and below the critical temperature. Even if we accept that grains of superconducting materials in the ISM are pure, then how do isolated microscopic grains of material at a density less than 1/m^3 (and that's being generous) contribute to galaxy rotation curves? And then there is the problem that the only part of the ISM that is cold enough to support superconductivity is molecular clouds, which contribute less than 1% of the volume of the galaxy. Show me how traces of superconducting materials in a meteorite translate to solving the "missing mass" problem. Set out the mechanism for me, because I'm not seeing it.

[Cargo]

I'm not seeing it.

Obviously. So, what is the purpose/reason for the theory of Dark Matter?

Have you got an explanation for how the discovery of trace amounts of superconducting materials in a couple of meteorites solves the “missing mass” problem? Because Maol doesn’t apppear to have one.

[Cargo]

If you don't know, and I tell you, will you believe me?

edit: I can't just leave it like that so will paste something else you may not know about

Internation Conference on Plasma Science in Monterey, California, radio astronomer Gerrit Verschuur announced that, after high resolution processing of data, from about 2000 clouds of so-called ‘neutral hydrogen’ in our galaxy, he found they were actually made up of plasma filaments which twisted and wound like helices over enormous distances.

In other words, you don't know either how the discovery of trace amounts of a superconducting material in a couple of meteorites solves the "missing mass" problem. You have no calculations, no quantification, no logical argument, no physics, no clue.

And why do you post something that has been known about since the late 1960s and early 1970s as though it is some new revelation and has any relevance to this topic?

[Cargo]

[Higgsy]

So, gentlemen, nobody seems to be able to explain how the discovery of traces of superconducting materials in two meteorites can lead to the solution of the missing mass problem. I have seen no calculations, no quantification, no logical argument, no physics. This would appear to be one of those all too common occurences amongst EU adherents when the mere mention of some word or other in a popular article sets the dogs barking. I commend pencils and the backs of envelopes to you.

[Cargo]

You mean the missing mass problem that Dark Matter and Dark Energy were created for? The logic of it all is blowing right by your closed eyes.

A "logic" that you seem completely incapable of articulating. A "logic" which exists entirely in your own mind. So what is the "logic" that explains how the discovery of traces of superconducting materials in two meteorites can lead to the solution of the missing mass problem.

Your rather sad attempts to avoid the question are clear. I thought this was supposed to be a forum for discussing science, not a forum for "guess what I am thinking of".
