It’s getting angry, it keeps coming closer!

Just an artistic take on this, how about a scene depicting God at the drafting table crinkling up and ripping a design with a bunch of other wadded up designs on the floor.

Also likely timing of when the planet is closer.

I don't understand. Why don't we just nuke the damn moon? Problem solved.

Meteorites fall evenly across the planet. There is more land in the northern hemisphere, so more are found there. One that lands in the ocean just sinks out of sight.

If redditors see a question mark in a post title they assume there can't possibly be a link involved, even by the usual standards of people being unwilling to go past a headline.
Every single post in this sub where the title's a question gets the same reaction.

I want to represent how they affect baryonic matter, like showing how baryonic matter behaves without the concept of dark matter vs how it behaves when dark matter is applies

Yes, and i wondered if i could represent the functions of it, i know i cant make an invisible model, thank you for this specific info tho! i appreciate it

So far dark matter and dark energy are 100% invisible. They are called dark because they are unseen. They are hypothetical. Dark matter is inferred to exist because there is not enough normal matter to explain the gravity effecting some galaxies. Dark energy is inferred because the expansion of the entire universe is accelerating much faster than can otherwise be explained.

Really weird to realise that you are staring at an enormous object in space everytine for me

Here’s a short video representing the theory of antimatter vs matter in the Big Bang. https://youtu.be/3a1c_1TIGGw

It looks like it's going to hit us in a couple of years.
Awesome progress btw!

Which of the properties of dark matter are you wanting to try and represent? Similarly with dark energy what do you want to show people?

You question isn't stupid but the other person is stuck on the fact it's invisible so you can't see it. Now I think that isn't a problem because you can make an analogy which you can see.

I think what you are looking for is the concept of a dark matter halo. It is the current best understanding of how dark matter is distributed around galaxies. If you use google you can find some diagrams of what it would look like if we could see it.

Probably best to start with what you think these terms describe in terms of observed phenomena.

Makes me want a “reverse-kerbal” game where you have to design and launch meteorites that successfully make it through atmospheres and seed planets
