Scientists Found Dark Electrons: a Secret Quantum State Hidden in Solid Matter

  • Researchers have just found evidence of “dark electrons”—electrons you can’t see using spectroscopy—in solid materials.
  • By analyzing the electrons in palladium diselenide, the team was able to find states that functionally cancel each other out, blocking the electrons in those “dark states” from view.
  • The scientists believe this behavior is likely to be found across many other substances as well, and could help explain why some superconductors behave in unexpected ways.

That’s cool. The implication is that electron interference would prevent photons interacting with them? It makes a little sense to explain dark matter, but with the massive amounts of dark matter we observe, I doubt this is that common.

Not to mention, photons would still interact in the photonuclear way, scattering etc. it also presumes that the atoms won’t interact with anything else, causing the interference pattern to cease.

Darkness in science often means mystery. But mysteries can be answers in and of themselves—at least, until you dig even deeper.

Dark, darker, yet darker...

You know what they say, the darker the mystery, the sweeter the… scientific paper that explains it.

Science got that revitiligo.

Sometimes I wonder how much of our universe is sitting on the surface of a metaphorical lake; and the things we see are just the bits that poke up above the water. That there’s an entirely separate world pressing up against ours, and normally they don’t interact; except sometimes they do, leading to effects which (to my knowledge) seem to have no cause, such as dark matter, dark energy, quantum unpredictablility and so forth.

and normally they don’t interact

But dark energy and dark matter make up 95% of our universe. So they would be the “normal”.

If anything, the 5% that we do know would be the “abnormal”.

And anyway, it’s only called dark energy and dark matter, not because it doesn’t have a cause, but because it doesn’t interact with light (photons don’t interact with it).

Although I think you are right that they don’t know what causes it. It does interact with gravity, though.

But all this is way beyond my tiny brain.

Sounds like a very esoteric way of looking at things we don't fully understand yet. There have been countless of "invisible" things that we could not see before over the past few centuries alone. Hell, we cannot even really see other planets orbiting other stars themselves, but we can observe the effect they have on the parent star itself and thus know they're there. Just try to explain to someone from a few thousand years ago what germs are. A concept even many people today are struggling to understand, as we clearly saw within the last 4 years. Quantum science is complicated and seemingly weird, but it still follows rules that we have yet to fully learn, and I have no doubt that, if we had enough time, we'd figure that out just like we figured everything else out before.

I’m a lot more worried that we’re actually just the little color patterns that float around the outside of a soap bubble. That we’re just the error rate in a dynamic creation/annihilation event that happens everywhere.

Although it is very much on the Science Fantasy side of things your thoughts remind me of the “The Final Architecture” book series by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Really enjoyed reading the trilogy.
