The first results from the world's most sensitive dark matter detector seem promising.

In the shadows of the JWST telescope, a new sensor begins its operations in its deep underground position. The name of that sensor is the Lux-Zeplin (LZ) sensor. The purpose of this sensor is to make the first interaction between dark- and visible matter. 

There is hope that when dark matter impacts liquid xenon-gas it causes changes in the energy level of that gas. And that will give the first observation of dark matter. 

That change in energy level proves the existence of dark matter. Researchers hope that dark matter pushes xenon atoms. And they could see the interaction. 

The methodology is the same in the neutrino detector. But dark matter is harder to detect because there are no models for what kind of particles those researchers should look for. They don't know the spin of dark matter, they don't know the mass of dark matter. And they don't even know is a dark matter particle or a virtual particle. They just hope that dark matter has particle form.

Could dark matter be the gravitational waves that form from crossing dark energy waves? 


There is an idea that dark matter has no particle form. There is the possibility that the mysterious gravitational effect forms when gravitational waves are interacting with dark energy. Dark energy is a mysterious wave motion that rips the universe into pieces. The particle-wave duality should affect also dark energy. So, could the dark matter be the particles that are forming in crossing dark energy waves? Or could it be the gravitational wave that forms, when dark energy waves are crossing? 

That means a hypothetical situation, where crossing dark energy waves are forming so-called empty gravitational waves. That means dark matter is the gravitational wave that are forming when dark energy waves cross each other. So the reason for that mysterious gravitational effect called dark matter is that there are too many gravitational waves in the universe. And maybe the LZ-sensor answers that thing.

When a WIMP – a hypothetical dark matter particle – collides with a xenon atom, the xenon atom emits a flash of light (gold) and electrons. "The flash of light is detected at the top and bottom of the liquid xenon chamber. An electric field pushes the electrons to the top of the chamber, where they generate a second flash of light (red). LZ will be searching for a particular sequence of flashes that cannot be due to anything other than WIMPs. Credit: LZ/SLAC" (ScitechDaily.com/Success!

Nobody has ever seen dark matter yet. There is the gravitational effect that source is described as the yet unknown state of matter. But nobody is sure what dark matter is. And that makes dark matter interesting. 

There is suspicion that the dark matter is somehow similar to neutrinos. And neutrinos are described as "grey matter" or "grey photons". The thing is that neutrino has a mass. A neutrino can tunnel itself through planets, and only a precise hit to quarks and gluons causes visible interaction. 

Sometimes is introduced that the neutral electricity of neutrino means that this particle has north and south poles. The neutrino is a slight particle. That means the quantum friction of that particle is minimum. And the idea is that the two-polar quantum field just pushes the quantum fields of other quantum fields away when neutrino travels in the material. 

So (maybe) dark matter can tunnel itself more effectively than neutrinos. And that means it could have the ability to push the quantum fields of even quarks away from its route.  

If we think that the quantum fields are superstrings. That is forming of whisk-shaped structure the dark matter could tunnel itself through those superstrings. When a hypothetical dark matter particle tunnels itself through that structure, it just pushes those quantum strings away from its route. 

But how dark matter can avoid interaction between other particles? Maybe it pulls energy from superstrings in itself. But then there is the possibility that dark matter will transfer that extra energy back to that quantum field on another side. 

The interaction would be visible in the changes in the energy level of other particles. When dark matter pushes the quantum field away that should cause the energy impulse or wave motion through the universe. So something causes the energy level of any particle will not change so much that it can measure. 

And there is the possibility that dark matter has so high energy level, or it is so small, and its speed is so fast. That there is no time that energy can transfer to any object. The remarkable thing is that if the tunneling effect causes that dark matter cannot interact even with electrons. The thing that the particle travels even though the quantum fields of elementary particles is something that we cannot even imagine.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
