Dark matter

Apr 10, 2018 10:39PM PDT

The photons from dark matter just look really small compared to the contrast in the background and they are different size photons they're actually technically not photons but what makes them up are almost identical in ratio to what makes up visible photons but there different size makes them move at a different speed through space-time then regular photons.

Ours is called "Coastal Eddy"

It does suck up visible photons as well.

I've spent some terror-filled hours driving in that stuff. Terrified of rear-ending if I drove and terrified of being hit if I stopped, even on the shoulder.

We can't see dark matter (by definition). Can we see the photons of dark matter?
Can you provide a link to the scientific literature about them?
