Today’s subject: dark matter.

Now, mainstream physics tells us that vast amounts of dark matter exist throughout the universe—unseen, undetectable, but supposedly accounting for most of the mass out there. Well, I’m not buying it.

Let’s think differently.

People often treat space as if it’s empty—a void. But space isn’t nothing. It has structure. It has properties. It responds to gravity. So here's my take: when mass exists—stars, galaxies, planets—it doesn’t just create a gravity field. It also increases the density of space around it. Not mass within space, but space itself becoming thicker.

Imagine a swimming pool.

Now imagine dropping a blob of oil into that pool—oil that’s the same density as the water. That blob doesn’t rise to the top or sink to the bottom. It just hangs there, floating in the middle. Now spin it. What happens? It spreads out, flattens, and starts to form a shape—disk-like, just like a galaxy.

That blob of oil is denser water within a larger medium. Just like space thickens around a galaxy, forming a kind of invisible structure—dense, swirling, and gravitationally active.

So what we call “dark matter” may not be some exotic, invisible particle. It may simply be denser space—space that thickens in response to mass, holds that thickness in place, and behaves like an invisible halo around galaxies.

Now think even bigger.

When two galaxies pass near each other—both surrounded by these zones of dense space—they stir the medium. The space between them, the stars floating in the intergalactic region, will be affected by the turbulence created where those dense zones interact.

This isn’t science fiction. It’s fluid dynamics.

If you analyze the redshift of stars between galaxies—measure how their light stretches and shifts as they move—you might detect the ripple effects. These aren’t caused by invisible matter. They’re caused by the motion of dense space itself.

Not dark matter. Thick space.

We’re not missing some ghost particle. We’re misunderstanding the medium.

Now, don’t get me wrong. It’s good that scientists are looking. Sometimes, when you search for one thing, you find something else. That’s progress. But I believe the mystery of dark matter doesn’t need a mysterious new substance. It just needs a better understanding of space itself.

That’s my opinion on dark matter.
