0:02 All right, guys. Let's go ahead and
0:05 begin. Uh, so we'll pick up where we
0:07 left off last time. We were
0:09 analyzing the matter at the center of
0:13 the Milky Way uh, galaxy. So, I'm just
0:15 bullet here analyzing matter at center
0:18 Milky Way continued and we left off.
0:20 we're able to determine using Newton's
0:22 laws or if you could call Kepler's third
0:25 law if you want to the mass at the
0:29 center of the galaxy is 2.5 * 10 6* the
0:32 mass of our sun. So that's 2 and a half
0:35 million times the mass of our sun at the
0:38 center of the
0:41 uh Milky Way.
0:44 Now continuing on
0:47 uh the so to get that number remember we
0:50 had you know the formula that we used
0:53 just to rewrite that but we had it
0:56 yesterday. So it's r
1:00 v^2 over g. And we're again we're you
1:03 know you're analyzing the hydrogen
1:07 uh particles that are in a tight orbit
1:12 around that central mass and and so the
1:16 particles that's r is the distance out
1:18 and then the v is the uh the
1:23 velocity. And um if you then try to pin
1:27 down a size on the on the mass that's at
2:03 um 10 raised to the 10 m which is close
2:07 to 1 AU 1 AU being the distance from the
2:12 sun to the earth. Um, so just to put
2:17 this in perspective, this is we're able
2:20 to kind of, you know, pin down the size
2:23 of what that that mass that's at the
2:27 center of the uh, galaxy. And of course,
2:30 there's the actual value. So now we have
2:31 these two
2:35 numbers, the size and we have the
2:39 mass. And and after we got those then it
2:41 became apparent well we should check
2:44 something and so what we want to check
2:47 is we want to do the calculation on the
2:52 Schwarz child radius of of this uh mass
3:16 this. And so we'll go ahead and write that
3:28 down. We had that earlier.
3:32 So any black hole uh will satisfy this
3:35 equation. Uh that's the mass of the
3:37 black hole and then that's the
3:40 shortchild radius which is the basically
3:42 the size of it. You know the radius out
3:44 to the event horizon. So you know
3:47 because we have these two data points
3:49 here about the size of this object and
3:52 the mass of this object we could put
3:54 those in the Schwarz child radius and
3:57 and see what we get. If we get uh an
3:59 agreement there, then we can make a
4:01 statement about that object that's at
4:04 the center of the Milky Way galaxy. So,
4:05 let's just go ahead and put these
4:07 numbers in and see what we get. So based
4:09 upon that mass, let's see what the
4:11 Schwarz sheld radius is and then we'll
4:14 compare it to this number we got here 10
4:18 the 10th and just see what what we Okay,
4:19 so we've
4:24 got two the gravitate ah come on two the
4:25 gravitational constant the mass of the
4:28 object and then we divide by the speed
4:30 of light squared. So go ahead and put
4:32 those numbers in. So two is two
4:36 gravitational constant 6.67
4:40 67 10 - 11. Now I got to do the
4:42 mass. So
4:46 that's 2.5 * 10 6 * the mass of the sun.
4:48 The mass of the sun is 2 * 10 30. So
4:52 I've got 2.5
4:56 * 10 6 and then I multiply that by the
5:00 mass of the sun which is 2 * 10 30 and
5:02 we divide that by uh the speed of the
5:08 light squared. So 3 * 10 8 and we square
5:13 that. Okay. So when you do the
5:15 calculation what you see
5:19 is you get a Schwarz child radius that's
5:23 10 the 10 m and that's what we see when
5:26 we measure the size of that. So we can
5:28 make this statement now this is a very
5:31 big black hole okay and it's you know
5:33 two and a half billion times the mass of
5:36 our sun and because it's so large we
5:39 call this a super massive black hole. So there
6:16 Okay. And that just comes out of the the
6:19 two data points, you know, that we've
6:22 calculated. What's the mass there? Uh,
6:24 using Newton's laws. And then based upon
6:27 the visual evidence, what constraining
6:30 that that mass, what size do we get? And
6:42 And that tells us it's a black hole. So
6:45 super massive because very large mass.
6:47 Now there's additional evidence that
6:49 supports the existence of a very large black
6:54 hole. So let's do a new bullet here. Other
7:02 evidence. So if we look at uh the center
7:04 of the Milky Way galaxy, what we see is
7:09 we see three pieces of uh basically
7:12 radiation that uh would be produced as
7:41 production
7:59 Uh let me tell you about synretron
8:01 radiation. Of course X-rays are high
8:04 energy photons. Posetrons are like
8:07 electrons are the the antiparticle of
8:09 electron. Anytime matters violently
8:12 smashed together you can get posetrons.
8:14 Okay. Now this but let's talk about the
8:25 synretron I got too many
8:29 here. Spell this.
8:43 radiation. Anytime you have uh charged
8:46 particles in particular, they're usually
8:50 electrons and they're trapped due to a a
8:52 field either gravitational or magnetic
8:54 some sort of field where they travel in
8:56 a tight orbit. They give off what's
8:57 called synretron
9:01 radiation. So synretron radiation so
9:04 uh high-speed electrons trapped by fields
9:26 A field could be magnetic. It could be
9:28 gravitational. Whatever. High-speed
9:30 electrons trapped by a
9:42 um electromagnetic
9:45 radiation and this radiation is because
9:48 it's traveling in a circle. It's
9:52 accelerating due to its acceleration due
9:55 to its uh
10:02 uh well centrial acceleration but that's
10:04 due to the fact that the velocity vector
10:05 is changing direction. Let me let me
10:09 just say due to its acceleration. We'll
10:11 just leave it at
10:14 that. That's synretron radiation. high-speed
10:15 high-speed
10:18 electrons which are charged particles
10:19 and because they're traveling in a
10:22 circle by virtue of Maxwell's equations
10:23 anytime you have a charged particle
10:25 that's undergoing acceleration it'll
10:28 give off electromagnetic radiation the
10:30 EM stands for electromagnetic radiation
10:34 and that's that's synretron radiation
10:37 okay uh and the X-ray production is
10:40 anytime you take matter and smash it
10:42 together high speeds you can produce X-rays
10:44 X-rays
10:45 X-rays again are high energy
10:48 electromagnetic radiation. So what's
10:50 happening you see as matter falls into
10:54 the black hole the tidal forces slam it
10:55 together. You just think of a black hole
10:57 is kind of a funnel and matter gets
10:59 slammed together as it falls in and then
11:03 that v that violent collision is then
11:06 producing these three pieces of
11:09 uh radiation that we see. Okay. So we
11:11 see that coming from the center of the
11:14 Milky Way and that's what's giving us
11:16 additional evidence that we have a very
11:18 large black hole there that we call a
11:28 Um, okay. So, now I want to talk
11:31 about we get away from the galactic
11:34 nucleus and start talking about
11:38 the outer structure of the the Milky Way
11:43 get into kind of a problem. Okay. So
12:02 tangential
12:05 velocity of the Milky Way. And I know this
12:11 sounds
12:14 technical, but it's a very important
12:16 important
12:19 study. All right. So, just
12:28 picture, the Milky Way galaxy is the
12:30 following. This is the model you should
12:33 think about. There's a very large very
12:35 massive black hole at the center and of
12:36 course that exerts a tremendous
12:39 gravitational pole on all the stars and
12:43 the solar systems in the Milky Way. Now
12:45 just like if we think about our own
12:47 solar uh system, we have the sun in the
12:49 center and then orbiting the sun are the
12:51 planets and the sun exerts a
12:53 gravitational pull on those planets. But
12:56 the planets do not fall into the sun
12:58 because each planet has a tangential
13:01 velocity that gives rise to a
13:04 centrifugal force that counters the
13:05 gravitational pull of the sun. And so
13:08 that's why you know it same applies to
13:11 the moon in orbit around the earth. The
13:13 earth exerts gravitational pull on the
13:15 moon but the moon has a tangential
13:17 velocity that gives rise to a
13:19 centrifugal force that counterbalances
13:22 that gravitational pull that the earth
13:23 exerts on the moon. And the same with
13:25 the planets in orbit around the sun in
13:28 our solar system. Each planet has a
13:31 tangential velocity and that counters
13:32 the gravitational pole of the sun. And
13:36 in the same model, we we envision that
13:38 the the Milky Way galaxy is the same
13:40 way. I mean, you've got a a very large
13:43 black hole at the center and then you've
13:46 got all the stars and everything that
13:48 make up the the Milky Way and they're
13:50 that that black hole is exerting a
13:53 tremendous gravitational pull on all the
13:55 stars, all the solar systems. But
13:56 because that they're moving with a
13:59 tangential velocity, they're able to
14:02 counter that immense gravitational pull
14:04 uh that the black hole exerts on the
14:09 matter. So what we were wanting to do is
14:12 to make sure we completely
14:15 understood the tangential velocities,
14:18 these orbital speeds of the stars that
14:21 are in the Milky Way and measure those
14:24 speeds and then hopefully you know they
14:27 would agree with you know basic uh
14:29 Newton laws of
14:33 motion and uh that everything would be
14:38 would be fine And of course the story
14:41 ends in a different manner and that's
14:44 what we want to investigate. So what we
14:48 actually looked at is we would wanted
14:50 wanted to measure the the Doppler shift
14:52 on that uh
14:55 uh
14:59 the spin flip radiation the 21 cm spin
15:01 flip radiation of hydrogen because the
15:05 the galaxy's full of hydrogen. So
15:54 hole. Okay.
15:59 And so we wanted to very accurately
16:02 measure all the velocities as if you
16:04 know for each star each location.
16:06 Actually we looked at each location
16:07 because we actually looked at the hydrogen
16:09 hydrogen gas.
16:20 observations of the
16:37 hydrogen. Uh
16:48 reveal the
16:55 of
16:58 these rotation velocities or the
17:03 tangential. I'll say
17:05 rotation, but then I'll put in here
17:08 tangential. Those two words are
17:10 interchangeable. I use tangential here
17:13 in the title of the bullet, but it's
17:15 they're both the
17:25 And of course what they do is they you
17:27 measure the Doppler shift on that spin
17:29 flip radiation and then get the velocity
17:32 and you do it for certain distances out
17:35 you know map out the entire Milky Way
17:36 galaxy. So you're going to be able to
17:39 then have a velocity profile versus
17:42 distance. Okay? And so that was the
17:46 goal. Now before I get you to the answer
17:48 of what we found, I I kind of got to
17:52 talk about uh velocity
17:55 profiles for objects that move that have
18:00 rotation. Okay, so we want to look at
18:04 uh velocity profiles for
18:08 for you know different situations,
18:10 different objects. So, the first one
18:11 we're going to look at is what's called
18:21 rotation. All
18:24 right. So, this is the situation where
18:28 imagine you have a platform
18:30 uh like a merrygoround with no no none
18:33 of the horses just just flat platform,
18:35 no horses, no nothing. And
18:42 uh I put you on the platform. I turn it
18:44 off and then I allow you to walk up,
18:45 step on the platform, and then I'm going
18:48 to turn on the platform.
18:51 Now, I'm going to first tell you, go to
18:53 the center of the platform. And so,
18:54 you're standing at the center. Now, I'm
18:56 going to turn it on. And now what you'll
19:00 notice is if if you stand there kind of
19:02 in the center, you you know
19:06 your your little circular speed isn't
19:09 very fast. But then if you start to walk
19:12 out towards the
19:15 edge, your tangential speed, your
19:18 rotational speed will be much quicker.
19:21 And that's what we mean by solid body rotation.
19:23 rotation.
19:25 There's a linear relationship between
19:29 the distance out from the center and the
19:33 the rotational speed or the tangential
19:36 speed and any body any object that
19:37 exhibits that then we say well that has
19:42 solid body rotation. Okay. So solid body
19:51 this. Okay. So the horizontal axis is
19:53 the distance out from the center.
19:56 Another word for that is
20:00 radius. But I just want you to think if
20:02 we go back to the merry-go round, this
20:04 is the center of the merrygoround. And
20:06 then out here's the edge of the
20:09 merrygoround. Okay? I allow you to step
20:11 on it. Then I turn the power on so it
20:15 starts rotating. Okay? And then the
20:18 vertical axis is your tangential speed,
20:21 your rotational speed. Okay, so I'm
20:24 gonna put that in
20:26 here. I know the word tangential, you
20:29 know, it just means tangent to the edge
20:31 of the circle. That's what tangential
20:38 And when you have solid body rotation,
20:40 any object that's undergoing solid body
20:42 rotation like that
20:44 merrygoround, then the plot looks like
20:46 this. It's just a straight
20:49 line. And so as you're if you're in
20:51 close to the center, you're down here
20:53 this distance, you go up to the line and
20:55 you have a very small tangential
20:59 speed. But then as you walk out to the
21:02 edge, you're way out here near the edge.
21:04 go up here and go over, you have a very
21:07 large tangential speed. So there's a a
21:09 linear relationship with the distance or
21:11 the radius out from the center and
21:15 versus the tangential speed. That's
21:18 solid body rotation. Any object that's a
21:21 solid that is
21:25 rotating, the farther out you are from
21:27 the axis of rotation, the center point,
21:30 the greater the tangential speed. Okay,
21:33 that's what we mean by solid body
21:35 rotation. Okay, that's one type of
21:36 rotation. Now, we're going to talk about
21:40 another that's based upon gravity and
21:44 that's called capillarian rotation. So,
21:46 we're going to do a new bullet here. So,
21:52 velocity is
21:54 proportional to the radius for solid
22:00 body. V, this is V and the radius is R.
22:04 Okay. And so as you increase r the
22:06 tangential speed the velocity increases.
22:08 So there that means proportional to the
22:11 velocity is proportional to the radius.
22:15 Okay. It's nice linear line there. The
22:18 slope is actually the angular rotational
22:22 speed of the merrygoround of the solid
22:24 body. But I don't want to get into all
22:26 the little
22:29 uh kinematics there. just velocities
22:30 proportional to R. Now we're going to
22:32 look at is we're talking about another
22:34 type of rotation. This is the rotation
22:36 that exists actually in our own solar
22:40 system or for that matter any uh bodies
22:43 that are orbiting around a central mass,
22:45 you know, like a plan a planet if it's
22:48 got moons or a sun if it's got planets
22:50 around it and so forth. And this is
22:53 called Keplerian rotation in honor of Kepler.
23:10 Now to explain Keplerian rotation, I'm
23:12 going to just kind of walk us through
23:14 just the data in our own solar system.
23:44 So, this is what I want to say. Let's
23:46 plot the orbital speed of each planet in
23:49 our solar system and we'll see what we
23:51 get. So, we're going to move this up.
23:52 We're going to do
23:55 again a two-dimensional
23:57 two-dimensional
24:00 plot. All right.
24:05 So this is the excuse me the distance
24:08 out from the sun. So you know the orbit
24:10 radius of the planet. So I'll just put
24:12 radius here. So orbit
24:15 radius how far away is that planet from
24:18 the sun. So right there's the sun and
24:21 then you know there's Mercury and you know
24:22 know
24:25 not the scale but just Mercury, Venus,
24:28 Earth, Mars, asteroid belt, Jupiter,
24:31 Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Okay. So we
24:34 go out and then this will be the or orbital
24:35 orbital
24:45 orbital. All right. So if we do that
24:47 plot, the first one of course is we got
24:51 Mercury and it's up. So this is the sun
24:52 and then this is out at the edge here
24:54 out here where Neptune is. Okay? Because
24:57 you're far away. This is right up close.
24:59 So the closest planet is Mercury. So
25:01 Mercury has a very high orbital speed.
25:02 So here's
25:05 Mercury and then
25:08 Venus and
25:11 Earth and
25:19 Saturn, Uranus, and
25:22 Neptune. So if we go ahead
25:35 those. So let's just it this is
25:39 Mercury. Don't
25:41 um Venus, Earth. I mean, I'm not going
25:43 to label them all. These are just all the
25:45 the
25:48 planets, you know, Mars, Jupiter,
25:51 Saturn, Uranus. Here, let's put Neptune
25:52 down here just so you understand. Here's
26:01 system. Now, this is this line that fits through
26:02 through
26:05 there just comes from Kepler's
26:09 laws. Okay? So and if
26:12 so this is what we call capillarian
26:15 rotation where the plot looks like this.
26:25 rotation and the scaling of the velocity
26:29 the velocity is proportional to one over
26:33 the square root of the radius. And that
26:34 just comes out of Kepler's laws or
26:39 So
26:42 any system of where you have objects
26:45 that are gravitationally bound to a
26:48 central host object. Now those objects
26:51 are in in orbit around that host
26:54 object because of the laws of gravity
26:58 they should obey capillarian rotation.
27:00 rotation.
27:03 Okay. Now so we have the solid body
27:05 rotation. the velocity is proportional to
27:06 to
27:11 r and then we have kept rotation where
27:13 the velocity is proportional to one over
27:15 the square root of r. So what we see is
27:18 the velocity is very large and then it
27:20 rapidly drops off. So you get farther
27:23 and farther away.
27:26 Now, prior to looking at the data in the
27:29 Milky Way, we thought it had to look
27:32 like this because the Milky Way, you
27:34 have a central gravitating mass, i.e.
27:36 the super massive black hole, and then
27:39 you've got a bunch of matter, star in
27:41 solar systems, and they're
27:45 gravitationally bound. And so, it should
27:48 model exactly our own solar system. So
27:50 when we looked at the data from the Milky
27:51 Milky
27:53 Way, what we
27:57 got was not Kepler but goes by the name
28:01 of differential rotation. And
28:05 um I want
28:07 to draw
28:18 But before I do that, I'm also going to
28:21 just say we have the profile for the
28:22 Milky Way, but we've also done the same
28:24 thing for other
28:27 um galaxies. And then if you kind of all
28:28 average them out, they kind of always
28:32 look like this. So differential
28:45 So again this is radius distance out
28:48 from the center and then this is the
28:57 object. And so all the profiles if you
28:59 kind of average them out they kind of
29:01 look like this. They start here at the
29:03 center and they have a steep climb and
29:05 then they kind of flatten out and then
29:14 that looks nothing like Keplerian
29:17 rotation. Actually, if you look at it in
29:21 closer, it's solid body. So, in near the
29:24 super massive black hole, there's so
29:26 much matter that the way the force of
29:28 gravity is, it kind of holds that matter
29:30 together and it all rotates like a solid
29:32 body. But then out here, you don't
29:34 really see anything like
29:37 that. Okay? You don't see this Keplerian
29:39 drop off that we would expect. And so
29:41 this is the differential rotation of the
29:43 galaxies. Now I'm going
29:45 to draw more
29:50 accurately the one for the Milky Way and
29:53 then then let's see I'm on page five. So
29:55 the Milky Way actually looks like this.
30:05 of this is a big problem because you go
30:09 wait a minute why isn't it'll have that
30:11 Keplerian drop
30:15 off that we see now this decay here is
30:18 goes by the name Keplerian decay because
30:20 it drops
30:22 off. Go back to this other drawing. just
30:32 decay. So, Milky Way differential
30:35 rotation and so drawing the Milky Way
30:38 one and again this is kind
30:40 of excuse me you've smooth we've
30:45 smoothed it out but I just want
30:48 to again
30:58 speed. So there's a little kind of
31:02 undulation here. So you come
31:05 up and then there's a little curly cue
31:07 like that. Then it comes down and then a
31:09 slight rise and then this and then
31:11 there's a last kind of kick up like
31:14 that. And believe it or not, our our
31:17 solar system is right there. So our sun
31:19 is right
31:23 there. you know about 27,500
31:26 27,500
31:31 lys. Okay. And of course out here's 40
31:35 somewhere and then here's the center.
31:38 Okay. So this is a Milky Way again. It's
31:41 it's this differential where you have no
31:45 concrete capillarian drop off. So we
31:47 don't know
31:50 there's see if it was Kepler and we'd
31:52 expect this thing to start to really
31:54 drop off here and we don't see that.
31:56 This is the Keplerian drop off. We don't see
32:02 that. So we're
32:06 baffled what's going
32:11 on. Okay. Now in close we see
32:14 hints right here of solid body effects.
32:20 here.
32:22 Okay. But when you don't have solid body
32:25 and things are gravitationally bound by
32:27 the laws of Kepler and Newton you expect
32:30 the Keplerian drop off just like we see
32:31 in our
32:36 own solar system. We don't have that.
32:39 Now I want to give you some just some
32:41 important data related to the Milky Way
32:45 and related to our sun. Actually let
32:54 here. So you know this number. So this
33:04 about 2.3 * 10 5 m/ second and that's
33:08 about about 500 miles hour. So our solar
33:11 system is in orbit
33:14 around you know traveling in a giant circular
33:15 circular
33:17 orbit about
33:20 27,500 lys
33:23 um at a velocity of 2.3 times 10. That's
33:38 space now because you know how you know
33:42 you know let me go to another picture.
33:51 overhead.
33:53 Okay, there's our sun and the planet.
34:06 system 2.3
34:11 * 10 5 m/s. That's the speed. And
34:14 then there's the RRS, the
34:17 27,500 lys.
34:20 So because you know the speed and you
34:22 know the circumference of a circle, it's
34:25 2 pi r. You know the total distance
34:28 around here. So if you take the total
34:30 distance around here and you divide by the
34:31 the
34:35 speed 2.3 * 10
34:39 5 m/s, you could compute the time that
35:09 And we can we can find we can find the
35:25 orbit. All right. And that time is about
35:33 years. So that's how long it takes our
35:38 solar system to complete one orbit as it
35:41 orbits around that super massive black
35:44 hole that's, you know, right there,
35:47 right there in the center. 230 million
35:49 years. So the last time you're at this
35:52 location, the dinosaurs though, the
35:54 ancient dinosaurs, not the more modern
35:55 that really ancient
35:59 dinosaurs, you're talking 230 million,
36:02 you know, not 80 million, 230 million.
36:05 The ancient dinosaurs were ruling the
36:12 So
36:15 that's little bit of data we get just
36:17 because we know our
36:20 distance and we know our speed we're
36:22 able to determine our orbit time. So
36:24 this is called the orbit time tech
36:27 orbital period. I should write it orbital
36:34 period orbital time timing period mean
36:37 the same thing.
36:41 Okay, now I want to go
36:43 back because we need we really want got
36:46 to talk about something that's really
36:49 important. So, we want to go back. So,
36:51 I'm on to page
36:54 seven and we're going to do a bullet
36:56 here. And I let the cat out of the bag
36:59 by writing the the name of this bullet,
37:02 but I don't care. Here we go. Dark
37:04 matter. Okay, so now you've heard about
37:06 dark matter. Here's where dark matter
37:07 comes from. So, we're going to look at
37:20 again. Okay. For the Milky Way. So, here we
37:22 we
37:31 right. Big steep climb here. Little lat
37:35 uprise. Little kick and a kick up.
37:38 I'm just redrawing what we did right there.
37:40 there.
37:42 Okay. And here we are. Here's our sun
37:50 system. Okay. And as we said, we don't
38:00 non-existent. No Kepler decay. Oh, I
38:02 should say
38:10 This is the radius distance out from the
38:13 center. And then this is the orbital
38:24 speed. So here's
38:29 the here's what we think. There
38:30 There
38:35 is some mysterious matter in the
38:40 galaxy that is effectively gluing
38:43 together all the matter in the galaxy.
38:46 All the stars, the solar systems, gluing it
38:46 it
38:49 together so that it has this sort of
38:52 profile where it kind of it basically
38:53 flattens out. I mean if you go from here
38:55 to here this is basically yeah there's
38:58 these little undulations but basically
39:00 we get this flattening out. So I used to
39:03 call it flattening
39:07 out after you get beyond the the steep
39:09 climb. Then if you just if you go back
39:11 to this one where we you know the
39:13 average of all the the
39:15 galaxies and trauma and all the other
39:17 ones that we can get the data on you
39:18 average them all this what they look
39:20 like. You basically get yeah a little
39:22 kick here and there but basically
39:25 flat and that's the sometimes they say
39:27 the flat rotation curve. So instead of
39:36 rotation the technical is differential
39:38 differential
39:43 but the flat differential whatever.
39:47 So the idea is that on this dark matter
39:50 is that there must be a bunch of
39:54 matter in the Milky Way that acts
39:57 through gravity and gravity alone. So it
39:59 doesn't and doesn't give off any other
40:01 signature. No electromagnetic so we
40:03 can't see it. That's where the word dark
40:05 comes from. And there's got to be a lot
40:07 of it because it's got to basically act
40:10 like a gravitational kind of glue and
40:13 just glue everything together such that
40:17 all the matter as you get out away, you
40:20 know, not in close, but it
40:24 all just has this flat rotation curve.
40:27 So it acts like kind of a glue.
40:43 expected capillarian drop off or capillary
41:03 because we really thought we'd see, you
41:04 know, we should see a drop off just like
41:07 we see in our own solar
41:10 system. We don't see that. You get out
41:12 far away from the center of the Milky
41:16 Way and it just flattens out
41:19 basically. So, the idea is that okay,
41:21 there has to be some matter that we
41:23 can't see that's acting kind of like a
41:26 glue. It's gluing together together all the
41:27 the objects
41:29 objects
41:33 that make up the Milky Way
41:36 galaxy. So thus and I say we think
41:38 because you know we we are looking for
41:40 the dark matter and we
41:43 haven't we have no candidates and we say
41:44 oh we found dark
42:07 matter that
42:13 acts like a glue. [Music]
42:30 gravity. Now, because it's hidden, what
42:32 that means is we can't see it. Doesn't
42:34 give off any signature, any
42:36 electromagnetic radiation. So, if you
42:39 can't see it, it's like dark. So, that's
42:40 where we get the word
42:43 dark. And then because it's matter, it's
42:45 where we get the word dark [Music]
42:46 [Music]
42:50 matter. Okay, so we envision that the
42:53 the Milky Way galaxy is just full of
42:55 this stuff. This dark
42:58 matter gives off no electromagnetic
43:00 radiation, no signal that we can
43:02 pinpoint and but yet we believe it's
43:03 there because it's acting like kind of a
43:07 gravitational glue and gluing the stuff
43:10 that we can see the luminous stuff such
43:13 that we're getting this sort of profile.
43:15 Okay? And that's the basis of dark matter.
43:21 Now, even, you know, if you kind of
43:23 think about it, swallowing mad, I've
43:25 just thrown up this thing, dark matter.
43:28 I mean, just like
43:31 crazy. You can't we can't see it. We
43:32 don't know what it is. We don't have
43:35 any. We have some candidates, particle
43:37 candidates, but we'll get into those
43:40 later. But none of them are all really
43:42 that that good. They just would count
43:44 for a trivial amount. We need quite a
43:46 bit. I want to talk about quite a bit
43:50 here shortly. Um, but it's matter. So,
43:52 it's acting through the force of
43:56 gravity. That's it. It's kind of gluing
44:00 together everything in the in the galaxy
44:02 and but we can't see it. So, dark
44:04 matter. Now, we get to the
44:06 question swallowing this is hard enough,
44:09 but it even it gets a little more challenging.
44:12 challenging. is
44:17 um okay.
44:38 sure. You see that's kind of a problem
44:40 when you don't really now I can tell I
44:45 can tell you this you're not sure a
44:49 fraction very small fraction and the
44:52 reason it's fractional is based
44:55 upon big bang
44:58 uh nucleioynthesis and the amount of
45:00 matter that's produced at the big bang
45:03 we kind of know what the distribution of
45:04 these other things I'm going to talk
45:07 about are but they would not account
45:10 enough for what we need to glue together
45:12 the Milky Way such that we get that
45:15 profile that flattening out. So a
45:25 matter could
45:28 could
45:36 And we know nutrinos do not give off.
45:38 They they do not interact. They do have
45:40 a little mass. So they could they would
45:43 be a candidate for dark matter. Okay?
45:46 Because they have mass. And so there's a
45:48 small fraction of dark matter could be nutrinos.
45:50 nutrinos.
46:02 holes and we would think of like
46:04 primordial black holes. These very small
46:05 black holes that would have been
46:08 produced very early stages of the big
46:11 bang. those because they have matter,
46:12 they would act.
46:15 Okay. And you know, then you get in
46:18 possibly cold gases and some other
46:20 things, but
46:23 but that's really all that we have right
46:27 now. Okay. So, of of particles that we
46:30 know and uh it'd only be a fraction of
46:32 those because we know the amount of
46:34 these on average in the universe. And
46:36 you expect kind of the distribution in a
46:38 galaxy to be roughly the average what
46:40 you'd see in the universe. There's just
46:42 not enough. So let me get to the point
46:44 then is is you would ask to me, well,
46:47 how much dark matter do we need? So we
46:51 can run the computer models. If we start
46:54 out with the computer models and we put
46:57 in just the stars, the solar systems in
47:00 the Milky Way, then you see the
47:02 Keplerian drop off because the only you
47:04 have the central gravitating body, the
47:06 the super massive black hole and then
47:08 you've got stars in orbit around that.
47:11 So those are going to obey Kepler's law.
47:12 So you can do that Kepler and drop off.
47:14 So then if you start putting in your
47:16 computer simulation, just putting in
47:18 little particles, little they're
47:21 actually little strands of of of dark of
47:23 dark matter, and you start to put it in,
47:25 then you you see how much you need to
47:27 get that that profile.
47:33 So how much
47:35 much dark
47:38 dark
47:47 All right. Now, here's the this is this
47:49 will blow your mind. So, if we look in
47:51 the in the in our galaxy, so in the Milky
48:01 Way, all the normal matter, all the
48:03 stuff that we can
48:06 see is this. So
48:09 all the I don't even like to use the
48:11 word normal, ordinary, whatever. All the normal
48:19 matter would be
48:22 10%. Dark matter is
48:25 90%. That's
48:29 insane. That's insane. We have a galaxy
48:32 and we only know 10% of it. the ordinary
48:35 stuff, the stars, the planets,
48:37 everything that we can see, it's
48:39 luminous, you know, luminous matter,
48:41 they'll say use that instead of normal
48:44 or ordinary. And then all this the other
48:46 stuff that we need, the dark matter
48:48 stuff is 90%. That's like crazy. It's
48:50 like you don't really know what the
48:53 thing because 90% of it you don't know
48:55 yet. The 10 only 10% of it you don't know.
48:57 know.
48:59 So that's the one that's really hard to
49:03 glue together the Milky Way such that we
49:06 have the flattening out of the rotation
49:08 curve means
49:11 that 90% of the
49:14 galaxy has to be comprised of dark
49:17 matter. And so we're searching for dark
49:20 matter. And and that's that's the big
49:23 one of the big pushes that we're wanting
49:26 to uncover. What is the dark matter? All
49:28 right, guys. We'll end there and
