New theory could explain missing 95 percent of the cosmos

Scientists at the University of Oxford may have solved one of the biggest questions in modern physics, with a new paper unifying dark matter and dark energy into a single phenomenon: a fluid which possesses 'negative mass." If you were to push a negative mass, it would accelerate towards you. This astonishing new theory may also prove right a prediction that Einstein made 100 years ago.
...
This new model, published today in Astronomy and Astrophysics, by Dr. Jamie Farnes from the Oxford e-Research Centre, Department of Engineering Science, offers a new explanation. Dr. Farnes says: "We now think that both dark matter and dark energy can be unified into a fluid which possesses a type of 'negative gravity," repelling all other material around them. Although this matter is peculiar to us, it suggests that our cosmos is symmetrical in both positive and negative qualities."
The existence of negative matter had previously been ruled out as it was thought this material would become less dense as the Universe expands, which runs contrary to our observations that show dark energy does not thin out over time. However, Dr. Farnes' research applies a 'creation tensor," which allows for negative masses to be continuously created. It demonstrates that when more and more negative masses are continually bursting into existence, this negative mass fluid does not dilute during the expansion of the cosmos. In fact, the fluid appears to be identical to dark energy.

So can we have the warp drive now or what?

That's all bullshite. We're in the matrix, dude

So is this a new term for the medieval “ether?”

So we can theoretically go faster then the speed of light? Would be a massive boost to humanity if we ever master it

May have solved
May Also prove
We now think
It suggests
In other words, a big nothing burger but we need more funding.

I don’t think it implys that..?

I love when they create constants that represent their ignorance
I have a proven theory that all existence stems from a particular spin and I created a “spin doctor” that accounts for the factors I haven’t figured out yet

Yeah nothing ever comes from science.

The theory implies that as the universe expands this negative fluid increases which should theoretically do two things:
1. Exponentially speed up the expansion due to the repulsive nature of the negative fluid
2. Increase the amount of positive fluids which would counteract the negative fluid repulsion.
So where is all the new matter from point 2?

My model shows that the surrounding repulsive force from dark fluid can also hold a galaxy together. The gravity from the positive mass galaxy attracts negative masses from all directions, and as the negative mass fluid comes nearer to the galaxy it in turn exerts a stronger repulsive force onto the galaxy that allows it to spin at higher speeds without flying apart. It therefore appears that a simple minus sign may solve one of the longest standing problems in physics.
Many cosmologists think that gravity is not a force, but that objects made of classic matter are held together by the push of space. This model fits smoothly with that thought.
It’s weirdly counter-intuitive to think that gravity is a push rather than a pull.

Interesting, but I am still waiting on science to decide how many genders there are.
