BIGFOOT AND DARK MATTER; UNSEEN MYSTERIES
Friday, May 1, 2015
In an article about the top 10 Weirdest Physics Facts, The Telegraph lists some of the strangest implications of Quantum Physics. Two of the biggest mysteries that inspire Ron Morehead are Quantum Physics and Sasquatch. Here is Fact #4
Almost all of the Universe is missing
There are probably more than 100 billion galaxies in the cosmos. Each of those galaxies has between 10 million and a trillion stars in it. Our sun, a rather small and feeble star (a “yellow dwarf”, indeed), weighs around a billion billion billion tons, and most are much bigger. There is an awful lot of visible matter in the Universe.
But it only accounts for about two per cent of its mass.
We know there is more, because it has gravity. Despite the huge amount of visible matter, it is nowhere near enough to account for the gravitational pull we can see exerted on other galaxies. The other stuff is called “dark matter”, and there seems to be around six times as much as ordinary matter.
To make matters even more confusing, the rest is something else called “dark energy”, which is needed to explain the apparent expansion of the Universe. Nobody knows what dark matter or dark energy is.
Nobody is certain what the Sasquatch is either, could there be a connection between these two mysteries? Ron Morehead has been investigating the Bigfoot phenomena for over 4 decades and has come to believe the answers may lay in the further understanding of Quantum Physics.
