I have a question, it's probably lame, but is it possible that dark matter is doing opposite what is hypothesized? instead of having mass and gravity, could it actual repel normal matter and push it away ?
I am already a subscriber to Universe Today. Would it make any difference in support if I also join Patreon? Thanks for the great content!
Question: We know that Voyager has shut down its non-essential systems to survive on its remaining power. Would it be possible for the team to turn the camera back on and point it back at the sun to take a picture? Would that picture show anything or is the light too weak for it to capture?
Vulcan: sounds like a perfect job for an AI system to work out route planning collision avoidance and constant adjustments
Andoria/Risa.... Would it possible do you think to piggyback on one of these long period comets, in order to put instruments/cameras monitoring and sending back info that would indeed pop out or very nearly pop out of the top of the galaxy. Maybe my perspective is off....
Vendikar: interestingly gravity only dominates over great distances because there's a lot of matter and virtually none of it's magnetic. However it's much easier to receive radio waves than gravity waves from deep space so the EM forces win there by an enormous factor as expected.
