I do not hold the belief that everything dark is bad. I believe that black light is also holy. I also believe there are spirit elements that black light consists of. I am trying to address this topic on a religious and scientific level.
 
there is nothing wrong or evil about 'dark matter' in islam, however there is with 'dark' practices, i.e evil practices!

at night we have 'darkness' but that too is Gods creation and it is there to cater to our needs

as for the 'dark matter' in space, that too is Gods creation and there is nothing inherently wrong or evil about it; if it is a destructive matter, then it is a 'soldier/servant' of Allah that is under Gods total command and power and will only 'destroy' whatever God commands it to

I agree with you on the point of dark practices but also white light can also be evil as well. I feel that black has been labeled or looked at as bad and white as good when either can be good or bad :)
 
"Dark Matter" and "Dark Energy" are hypotheses (you got it, guesses) required to make Einstein's equations "fit" what is believed to be the physical cosmology of reality.

My opinions:

The concept of "dark matter" is relatively new.. I don't think it is addressed in the Baha'i Writings.

That there would be "spirit elements that black light consists of" would have no place in the Baha'i view.

What is addressed is the issue of light and shadow (darkness) symbolically:

"For just as the night, when it becomes excessively dark, precedes the dawn of a new day, so likewise when the darkness of religious apathy and heedlessness overtakes the world, when human souls become negligent of God, when materialistic ideas overshadow spirituality, when nations become submerged in the world of matter and forget God -- at such a time as this shall the divine Sun shine forth and the radiant morn appear."

~ Abdu'l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 221

"Unless the mirror reflects the sunlight, it is only dark, inanimate matter. Likewise, the hearts and spirits of mankind, when deprived and without their portion of the bounties of the Holy Spirit, linger in the abyss of darkness and ignorance."

~ Abdu'l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 313

"The commanders of armies glory in having killed ten thousand men, not for food, nay, rather, for military control, territorial greed, fame and possession of the dust of the earth. They kill for national aggrandizement, notwithstanding this terrestrial globe is but a dark world of grossest matter. It is a world of sorrow and grief, a world of disappointment and unhappiness, a world of death. For after all, the earth is but the everlasting graveyard, the vast, universal cemetery of all mankind."

~ Abdu'l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 396

As to atoms in terms of the structure of the universe however there are I think some interesting passages:

"Such is their virtue that not a single atom in the entire universe can be found which doth not declare the evidences of His might, which doth not glorify His holy Name, or is not expressive of the effulgent light of His unity."

~ Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 62

"Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is a direct evidence of the revelation within it of the attributes and names of God, inasmuch as within every atom are enshrined the signs that bear eloquent testimony to the revelation of that Most Great Light. Methinks, but for the potency of that revelation, no being could ever exist. How resplendent the luminaries of knowledge that shine in an atom, and how vast the oceans of wisdom that surge within a drop!"

~ Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 177
 
Yep, Oort and Zwicky first posulated it in the early 1930s. It (and its more recent cousin Dark Energy, only dating from 1992 and Paal) is the foundation of the Einsteinian cosmologists' push back on the Milgron and Quantum and Stringy alternatives. (see MOND or Quantum Loop or brane or holographic cosmologies in Wiki).
 
peace be upon you
As mark mentioned, dark matter is not a certain matter yet. it's just a way to run away from some results which they can't understand or find any other explanation for.

but to speak about evil, even Satan himself is a creature of God. there is no room out of God's power. The main point of evilness is to consider yourself as an independent being beside God.
All efforts of Satan is to conceive us to believe in ourselves not God. What Satan wants is to makes us believe that we are separated from God. If we wish, will and act as God wants then we will be the representative of God on the earth and all world. We then can even create and I know those who can do it right now. But Satan tries to make us and courage us to have different wills and wishes than God's.
God is the river of life and we are nothing than it's waves. if we move as the river does, We will be the river. if we try to be something else, then we would be nothing ! it's all about the evil.


even the existence of Satan is sacred but not his actions and wishes. we are mirrors of God but we want to be ourselves not God ! that's the deceiving point.
We can be a representative and dependent God but not an independent one ! be a dependent God of earth or be nothing !
Be nothing = be in the hell and hell is nothing but a wave which doesn't want to be in the current of the river

I believe that dark matter of black light also has a golden glow to it. That its a light in itself but that it lacks light sometimes due to the imbalance but the planet venus being a kind of golden looking planet in the night sky is the key to unlocking this golden light.

Nah . . . both god and satan are . . "just a way to run away from some results which they can't understand or find any other explanation for."

there is no room out of God's power. The main point of evilness is to consider yourself as an independent being beside God.
How does that equate to being Evil?

All efforts of Satan is to conceive us to believe in ourselves not God. What Satan wants is to makes us believe that we are separated from God.
Yeah, believing in our Self is a bad thing :rolleyes: . . but believing in an imaginary being is healthy!

If we wish, will and act as God wants then we will be the representative of God on the earth and all world.
If I recall correctly in Abrahamic texts, Satan is given domain over the earth and nature.

We then can even create and I know those who can do it right now. But Satan tries to make us and courage us to have different wills and wishes than God's.
Satan wants you to 'think' for yourself and be responsible for your own actions, not use a scapegoat of Mendes to blame everything that's wrong in your life and a god to praise everything good.
 
"Dark Matter" and "Dark Energy" are hypotheses (you got it, guesses) required to make Einstein's equations "fit" what is believed to be the physical cosmology of reality.
I do not hold the belief that black light only refers to matter but really refers to spirit. White light also consists in matter as does black light. You can have white matter that is really made up of black light and vise versa. Appearances can be deceiving.
 
Are we talking about Black Light = ultraviolet light?
Because that's the only black light I know of.
 
I dunno... donnann seems to be refering to my post, but I do not understand the context. In "ususal speak" black light = ultraviolet light, which has nothing to do with dark matter or dark energy.
 
I hear ya radarmark, and dark matter is neither good or evil, it simply is.
As for 'dark energy' would that be referring to maleficent energy, because I'm not sure that exists either, energy simply is, it has no intent, and intent is what decides whether anything is good or evil.

Matter is made from spirit energy so how does black light have nothing to do with dark matter. The black light I am talking about is dark energy, spirit energy.
 
On the other side of a black whole (Supermassive Black Holes are now known by science to exist at the heart of EVERY Galaxy, ours being no exception) ... exists the MAJORITY of the stuff that makes up our Cosmos. Not only is all that we see just the tip of the iceberg, but even the studies of the esotericists reveal the same thing. We may speak of Highest Heaven, yet human consciousness does not penetrate the Cosmic planes of existence.

It's fun to think about, but Shakespeare helps us get our feet rooted back on Earth again: something about Horatio, Heaven & Earth and the dreams of such lofty philosophies ... Hmmm .... ;)

Dark Spirit energy as in spirit energy without understanding (dark?) Would this be faith based energy then? (Hence the golden hue?)

Yes that would make sense. Venus gives off a golden light in the night sky and is dark energy shining. Venus is also a goddess in ancient texts named dawn.ya. meaning the light. This is also called a shining one. Michael s archeia is named faith so what you say makes sense to me. Michael meaning one who is like god. Each god has a goddess that completes him. The dawnya inhanna constellation has a counterpart , but who is it? This constellation was seen this year in around the same time the comet donna was seen which also means dawn.ya. The goddess is pictured as black light. Does this make any sense?

Umm, Venus is bright white in color when observed in the sky.

Here are the colors of the planets when you observe them with the naked eye:

Mercury--white, sometimes pinkish if low in the sky
Venus--bright white
Mars--yellow-orange to orange-red
Jupiter--creamy white
Saturn--pale yellow

You might want to stick to the artistic interpretation. Nothing wrong with artistic interpretations. :)

Science requires actual observations, which do not always conform to artistic interpretations.
