StarTalk Radio
Hubble Trouble with Hakeem Oluseyi

That's where the idiots go. Rejects. But no, here's what happened. I worked at Berkeley a summer between undergrad and grad on that project. At the end of the summer, they said, dude, if you want to come to Berkeley, come. But I didn't know Stanford was this highfalutin school. I didn't know that. Wait, you didn't know that? Dude, I was from the country, man. You didn't have the internet.

I didn't know Connecticut existed. So, I still haven't seen it. But anyway.

Here's how I can think about this dark matter and dark energy stuff, right? Nothing at the scale of galaxies and larger, basically over 20,000 light years, bigger than the galactic arm, nothing moves consistent with the laws of physics. And so there's two ways, right?

There's this like alternative gravity theories, which, you know, just like when you think they're dead, they come back and they're stronger than ever. And then there is this, oh, there's other stuff, dark matter. Oh, we got some great ideas for what that is. It's black holes. It's machos. It's super symmetric particles.

They don't exist. We look for them, they're not there. The supersymmetric particles, sorry, I should have saw them. They're not there.

Maybe several, right? Because they only have to get it right once.

Yeah, well, we have those tachyons. Is there tachyons? Is that what it is?

We call it matter, but we don't know what it is. Well, no, here's the thing why we know it's not that.

It's not moving faster than light. Because the two models that were competing were, is it hot dark matter or is it cold dark matter? So particles moving very fast would be hot dark matter. And we know that the best model is lambda sedium, cold dark matter.

The only thing left is axioms, and I don't find that to be well, people making up particles that'll do this. Well, they made up a particle to cancel out the electric dipole moment of the proton, which should exist, right?
