One Step Closer …

[BeAChooser]

One of the tactics of the mainstream is to keep repeating articles over and over … literally flooding the airways … in order to propagandize the public. For example, here’s an article in the India Times dated 7/31/2022: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/ma ... 245719.cms . It’s basically the same article that appeared on ABC news on the 7th of July. They are still claiming that a team of 250(!) scientists estimate they’ll have enough data in a few years to have a 10-50 percent chance of finding dark matter. My question (still unanswered) is how they derive this probability. My bet is it’s pulled out of thin air. Because what’s important isn’t finding DM … it’s paying the salaries of those 250 scientists for the next few years. Just saying ...

Time for another “could” … add it to the hundreds of others.

Dozens of newly discovered gravitational lenses could reveal ancient galaxies and the nature of dark matter

Yeah … RIGHT.

[BeAChooser]

If only PC/EU theorists could us “COULD” as a rational like the mainstream does for it's billion dollar toys ...

ESA’s new space telescope could finally give us an understanding of dark matter

The way this article starts off, is really hilarious.

It says “Dark matter likely makes up most of the mass in the universe and we’re not even sure if it exists.”

Who is kidding who?

That’s not what 99.9% of the *science* articles and *science* that have been published the last 40 years have said.

They expressed complete certainty dark matter exists and demanded billions of dollars to to study it.

ESA prepares Euclid spacecraft to probe dark energy and dark matter

... snip ...

In a press statement, Euclid project manager Giuseppe Racca described that we know virtually nothing about dark energy and matter as a "cosmic embarrassment".

No, Giuseppe, it’s only an embarrassment to the Earth’s mainstream astrophysics community which spent 50 years and tens of billions of dollars ... and never found real proof the gnomes even exist. But that doesn't really matter, does it? As long as you're all doing well financially, right?

We could be closer to understanding the mystery behind what dark matter is, following ...

blah blah blah blah blah.

How many times have we heard that "could be" promise, folk? When are we going to stop shelling out OUR MONEY to pay for such self-serving *research*? As the article says, “There is currently a huge proliferation of axion searches being built". It should have said EXPENSIVE searches. But what good will result from finding DM right now? Who alive today, other than those making a nice living off the DM bandwagon will benefit from such knowledge?

If they can’t answer that, then why are we spending so much money (and opportunity costs) right now when we are so clearly short of resources and faced with civilization ending problems everywhere we turn? They told us we couldn't afford on a Border Wall, yet they can waste just as much and more money pursing a gnome that won't fix a damn thing that's wrong with the world today? Explain the logic in that!

Closest Ever To Detecting Dark Matter

And why are the " the closest ever"?

Because they detected anti-helium particles and that “*could point* toward dark matter interactions”.

COULD COULD COULD.

How many times have we heard that folks?

Just keep letting them spend YOUR money on pursuit of this gnome.

That’s the whole purpose of these ad nauseam announcements.

To separate you from it.

What a grift.

[BeAChooser]

Remember back in 2022 when the MSM announced the "good news" that researchers had ruled out axions as being dark matter, in their words, bringing us “one step closer to finally understanding dark matter”? Here were the two articles I brought to the forum's attention about this: https://interestingengineering.com/scie ... ark-matter and https://scitechdaily.com/dark-matter-ex ... -universe/ .

But here we are today, with the MSM presenting a new gnome that in their words, will bring us “one step closer to solving the mystery of dark matter”, and guess what? It involves axions …

https://www.space.com/neutron-stars-axions-dark-matter

Scientists think it's possible that shrouds of hypothetical particles called "axions" could surround extreme, dead stars called "neutron stars." If true, this could bring us one step closer to solving the mystery of dark matter.

And you know the best thing about this gnome?

"This is the first time this type of axion cloud has been discussed, so naturally, there is a lot more work to be done," Noordhuis said. "There is already a follow-up research focusing on how these bound axions can change the dynamics of neutron stars themselves. For example, more work in this direction concerning the non-trivial interplay between axions and the electrodynamics in these systems is sure to follow as well."

It is little surprise that for a theory that crosses scientific disciplines ranging from astrophysics to particle physics, a great deal of collaboration between fields will be needed to fully investigate the potential connection between dark matter, axions and neutron stars.

"A full understanding of axion clouds will require complementary efforts from multiple branches of physics, including particle astrophysics, plasma physics and observational radio astronomy," Noordhuis said. This work thereby opens up a new, cross-disciplinary field with lots of opportunities for future research."

That's right, it’s going to pay the mortgages of many, many astrophysicists and particle physicists for many, many years to come.

Just saying …

Blah blah blah … they’ll say anything to keep the money rolling in …

The Universe Is Hiding Something Huge – And Scientists Are Closer Than Ever to Finding It

The something they’re talking about it dark matter and all the article really does is tell you that they haven’t found it. What they’ve done is “placed unprecedented constraints on the possible lifetime of axionlike particles.” Meaning that the possible candidates are getting smaller and smaller.

Note the careful way they phrase things … “Their findings not only demonstrate the power of their technology but also expand the search into less-explored regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.” They didn’t expand anything. Their work eliminated some of the more likely regions as candidates so what's left is the “less-explored”, less likely regions. But they phrase it that way to make you think they made “progress”. To keep the dream alive and the money coming in. Just saying ...

Here’s another article filled with “could be”s and the “step closer” phrase about a Dark Matter study …

https://phys.org/news/2025-03-mysteriou ... eveal.html

A mysterious phenomenon at the center of our galaxy could be the result of a different type of dark matter.

… snip …

In this first of its kind study, scientists have taken a step closer to understanding the elusive mystery matter. They believe a reimagined candidate for dark matter could be behind unexplained chemical reactions taking place in the Milky Way.

Dr. Shyam Balaji, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at King's College London and one of the lead authors of the study explains, "At the center of our galaxy sit huge clouds of positively charged hydrogen, a mystery to scientists for decades because normally the gas is neutral. So, what is supplying enough energy to knock the negatively charged electrons out of them?

First of all, what’s this claim that “normally’ hydrogen is neutral? Yes, there’s a ring of molecular gas called the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) about 200 parsecs out from the center, but the mainstream has been telling us for as long as I can remember that 99% (plus) of the universe is composed of plasma … charged particles (primarily hydrogen). Have they never heard this? Is that why their paper (https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1 ... 134.101001) doesn’t include the word “plasma”?

And there have been countless articles talking about the hot ball of plasma circling the Milky Way’s black hole, and the two balls of plasma there have been discovered in the polar regions of the galaxy, but all these have been long claimed by the mainstream to be powered by the black hole (not a mystery requiring DM. So I’m a little at a loss to know what they’re talking about. The mainstream has also discovered numerous plasma filaments streaming out from the central core through and beyond the CMZ, but these don’t fit the description of “clouds” that the article talks about. So where specifically are these clouds? The paper doesn’t say or provides no image to locate them.

Finally, the authors apparently have never heard of the Plasma Cosmology/Electric Universe theory, which is still a possible explanation for every phenomena described above. And maybe it’s also an explanation for whatever they’re talking about? Maybe if they had heard of PC/EU, they wouldn’t still be resorting to a 50 year old (plus) gnome (that no one has found despite billions and billions of dollars spent looking) to explain whatever it is they’re now desperate to explain. But then DM does pay for their mortgages, and those need paying for the next 15 to 30 years, so they’ve got to keep the scam going. And one way to do that is with papers like the one linked. Just saying …

First of all, what’s this claim that “normally’ hydrogen is neutral?

It is a subjective value judgement of what is "normal". Obviously, they think that plasmas are abnormal, or that a neutral hydrogen atom is some sort of a desired state. It reveals and is indicative of mainstream astrophysics' underlying disregard for the role of plasma in the Universe.
It begs the question:
So if 99% of the known Universe is plasma, how could something that is less than 1% of the total be the "normal" state?

So if 99% of the known Universe is plasma, how could something that is less than 1% of the total be the "normal" state?

Apparently pursuit of gnomes has driving the mainstream to believe that. Here's another mainstream article saying pretty much the same thing ...

https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sc ... ark-matter

For this study, researchers from King’s College London first noticed something strange about the clouds at the center of the Milky Way. 

“At the centre of our galaxy sit huge clouds of positively charged hydrogen, a mystery to scientists for decades because normally the gas is neutral. So, what is supplying enough energy to knock the negatively charged electrons out of them?” said Shyam Balaji, postdoctoral research fellow at King’s College London, in a press release. 

“The energy signatures radiating from this part of our Galaxy suggest that there is a constant, roiling source of energy doing just that, and our data says it might come from a much lighter form of dark matter than current models consider,” Balaji continued in a press release.

Again, they tell their audience that normally, hydrogen is neutral. And again, no mention of plasma or electromagnetic phenomena. Instead, they immediately posit a new gnome … a new, lighter form of DM … which, of course, they’ll need billions to explore. These people are not going to give up until WE just cut off their funds. DOGE … where are you? Because this is certainly government waste.
