    • What are examples of other phenomena that we inferred indirectly before observing directly?

    • Perhaps Newton? Gravity?
      I’ve read this article a white ago and the topic certainly recalled it into my mind.

      • Chaos…seems to have been ignored with a historic focus on linear systems

    • Black holes, gravitational waves, the bending of light (from Einstein equations), neutrinos (predicted by Wolfgang Pauli), the wave character of particles (postulated by de Broglie)…

    • Higgs Boson

    • What are examples of other phenomena that we inferred indirectly before observing directly?

      That the milky way flows as a moving spiral as like other galaxies flow.

    • The whereabouts of people in our lives.

    • Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

      Some examples of inferring indirectly are black holes, the planets not seen with eyesight, gravity waves.

    • Gravity wave distortion comes to mind from LIGO, cosmology, new candles to measure with. Well and of course the answer to all that we don’t have yet.

    • Ladies and Gentlemen,

      In inferring Prof. Freeze is on this team, we infer-

      Astronomers confirm Maisie’s galaxy is among earliest ever observed
      by University of Texas at Austin.

      Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers racing to find some of the earliest galaxies ever glimpsed have now confirmed that a galaxy first detected last summer is in fact among the earliest ever found. The findings are published in the journal Nature.

      Follow-up observations since first detection of Maisie’s galaxy have revealed that it is from 390 million years after the Big Bang. Although that’s not quite as early as the team led by University of Texas at Austin astronomer Steven Finkelstein first estimated last summer, it is nonetheless one of the four earliest confirmed galaxies observed.

      “The exciting thing about Maisie’s galaxy is that it was one of the first distant galaxies identified by JWST, and of that set, it’s the first to actually be spectroscopically confirmed,” said Finkelstein, a professor of astronomy at UT Austin, an author of the Nature paper and the principal investigator for the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey (CEERS).

      The latest analysis was led by first author Pablo Arrabal Haro, a postdoctoral research associate at the National Science Foundation’s National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory. Besides Finkelstein, co-authors from UT Austin are Caitlin Casey, Micaela Bagley, Katherine Chworowsky and Seiji Fujimoto.

      The CEERS team is currently evaluating about 10 other galaxies that might be from an era even earlier than Maisie’s.

      “This was a kind of weird case,” Finkelstein said. “Of the many tens of high redshift candidates that have been observed spectroscopically, this is the only instance of the true redshift being much less than our initial guess.”

      Not only does this galaxy appear unnaturally blue, it also is much brighter than our current models predict for galaxies that formed so early in the universe.

      “It would have been really challenging to explain how the universe could create such a massive galaxy so soon,” Finkelstein said. “So, I think this was probably always the most likely outcome, because it was so extreme, so bright, at such an apparent high redshift.”

      We cannot directly see Prof. Freeze’s name on this article, but we can infer her name as she searches for the phenomena of dark stars, or got married.

      Congratulations!

    • As Multiverse theories are now long established as at least a “discussion point” I have wondered if the answers to dark matter could lie wrapped up within one of, or a variation of these Multiverse theories.

      If our spacetime was created within a higher dimensional realm could dark matter be some of that realms’ own matter/mulitverse soup/energy that didn’t quite convert over to our 4 dimensions during the Big Bang.

      Ie something that has more than 3 dimensions of space.

      As it didn’t convert fully into our version of spacetime it could explain why we cannot directly interact with it. But maybe its presence across multidimensional spacetime is enough for its gravity to be felt and then it does its stuff like shape galaxies, galaxy clusters and maybe other stuff like supermassive blackholes.

    • Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

      Thankyou for Alumni peer review.

      The Phenomena that we can infer to with the gravity of our topic tags include this topuc:

      Hi,

      In the quest to find another Ŋ_ earth with exoplanet research, the star system similar to our human centric Solar system is found close and near to Arietis star called Hamal- Alpha Arietus, or 13 Arietis.

      At 74 light- years distance from our G2V Solar System, the G2V rated star system of HD 12 846 is an exact star system similar to our own.

      We can guess the light from the G2V reaches us with a consistency that is equal to our own Solar System light.

      With the stronger and more visible stars that dominate the sky, we can wonder if a star highway concept is valid, that their lights are so strong and steady that the lightpath becomes a form of a plasma path for new light to travel on, similar to supernova activity travelling on an initial path made by explosion.

      With the Corialis winds separating spins of hurricanes above and below equator line divisions. The swirls spin in opposite directions. The L4 & 5 positions of the Earth orbital path may be similar Corialis actions of opposite spin regions.

      If we have orbital and we have surface corialis actions and opposite spins, the impact of starlight as plasma onto the Solar System may have a similar effect for the 60 smaller galaxies said to be tagging along with the Milky Way Galaxy the way that Trojan and Greek asteroids are on Corialis sides of Jupiter.

      Allowing a more solid plasma concept into the light of the main source, Corialis actions may exhibit scales of plasma content that resolve how smaller galaxies tagalong with the Milky Way.

    • How do we know if gravity behaves differently on every scale or in higher or lower dimensions?
