Dark Matter Page #3

of how the galaxies have emerged

from the beginning of time.

And with my revised model,

we will be able to reproduce

any and all of the observed large-scale

structures of the entire universe.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Obviously we're not there yet, but...

Yes, my old professor, Dr. Gazda?

Yes, I am going to invoke

the privilege of an old teacher

and chastise my former pupil.

Why am I not surprised?

- Some things never change, Jake.

Once again,

you're in denial about the data.

Have you seen the latest

redshift images from the CSA?

Yes, as a matter of fact I have.

Would you like to share it with everyone?

By all means.

- Go ahead.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a model.

This is reality.

Now, where are these voids

in your model, Jake?

Um, what are these? Daisy chains?

It's insignificant.

- What?

That's the trouble with you theorists.

You get so caught up

in your computer models

that you forget to open your eyes

and look up and see the truth.

It's staring you in the face.

You're reminding me of the old joke about

the theorist and the experimentalist.

These two transparencies are a work

in progress, but you are forcing my hand.

Let me show you something here,

that I think may give even you pause.

You can see how even a slight

temperature change in the Dark Matter

could and probably would

cause these voids, over time.

Yeah, it's a Band-Aid.

- Ha!

But an elegant one. Yes?

I said in 1 933

Observe the Coma cluster

The redshifts of the galaxies

imply some big velocities

They're moving so fast

They must be missing mass

Dark Matter - do we need it?

What is it? Where is it?

Thank you. its very nice.

Oh, maybe he wants some.

Barry?

Good to see you.

Come on. Now, Liu Xing,

take a look at this woman.

Now, this is America.

Try this. Try this drink. Put that away.

Try that, drink it slowly.

Take a look.

Liu Xing, I've been looking

all over for you.

That was you who saved Jake's derriere

this morning, wasn't it?

I thought you did some marvelous work.

We both come from cultures that propose

a universe with no beginning and no end.

Yet here we are, discussing the Big Bang,

the ultimate beginning.

But maybe there have been

many beginnings, many big bangs.

You know, Liu Xing, I really think you

should focus on this Dark Matter problem.

I think you could do some serious damage.

Lies, lies, lies. Don't believe

a word that this man says.

But we're talking about you,

you egomaniac.

I was just telling Liu Xing I think he

should focus on this Dark Matter problem.

He has a real passion for it.

He'd better have a real passion for it.

He works for me.

You work for me, don't you?

Yes. He works for me.

The search is getting popular

As many realize

That the detector of Dark Matter

May well win the Nobel Prize

Dad, Mom , how are you?

Professor Reiser invited me to attend

the Early Universe Symposium.

There I learned that Dark Matter

is the future of cosmology.

Here in America, I am free

to follow my dreams.

I will definitely win the Nobel Prize.

WATER:

Eat grape not, spit out grape skin.

Not eat grape yet, spit out skin grape.

Oh! Grape skin! Spit out grape kin.

Eat grape not, spit out grape skin.

Not eat grape yet, spit out grape skin.

Sounds kind of like I never left Shanghai.

Oh, hi!

- Ah, hello!

How you been?

I missed you.

- I missed you.

Did everything go good?

- Oh, really good.

We're this close to two million units.

- Fantastic. What about Mommy?

Oh, it's oolong. its my favorite.

I just made some oolong. You want some?

No, no thanks.

- You sure?

You want to sit?

- Yeah.

Tell me the news.

Lots going on.

Whole new crop of Chinese students.

And one of them, Laurence Feng, used

to be... Liu Xing, you know, my friend?

His rival at Beijing University.

Number two at Beijing University.

So that's big news.

Im taking the new students out to Pioneer

Village tomorrow. You want to come?

No, thank you.

Are you gonna dazzle them

with your language skills?

Don't make fun of me.

Im just...

It's kind of cool. The greatest thing

about trying to learn this language

is how it just really forces you to have

another whole perspective on the world,

because it's so indirect and subtle

and they don't have any tenses.

So, they say, "I am."

And "last year I am",

and "in the future I am".

You know, be here now, sort of.

- Now I am.

Feng Gang.

What happened to you?

Why did you change your name to Laurence?

What kind of name is that?

Yes, my wife thinks it's easier

for Americans to say,

to make them feel more comfortable.

Your theory doesn't work.

Galaxies start forming way too late.

You can't explain quasars

at redshift four.

I know. We can fix that.

You get much better results

with warm Dark Matter,

and inflation instead of cosmic strings.

That's not the Reiser Model.

We should have our

own ideas and language.

But we're all working for Reiser here.

Why did you come here?

- To meet you.

No, I mean, to America.

- Oh, America.

To meet you.

- Seriously.

Seriously, seriously.

I have so much "seriously" all day.

Wait. I will show you the galaxy.

In your cup.

Watch closely.

I figured out that cosmology

has nothing to do with skin care.

You must think I'm an idiot.

Of course ... not.

You study the Big Bang.

- Mm-hmm.

It's supposed to be

the beginning of the universe.

I don't believe it.

Because something had to cause the Big

Bang, it didn't just come from nothing.

What do you think caused the Big Bang?

- God.

Then what caused the God?

He can't come out of nowhere.

He's eternal.

He's always been there.

In my new theory, the universe is eternal.

Big Bang is a major event,

but not beginning.

Universe has no beginning,

no end, just like God.

So you see, we are really the same.

Universe and God is the same.

For my dissertation,

I intend to develop

new non-equilibrium techniques

for the Reiser Model,

running from 1 0 to the minus 36 seconds

to one second after the Big Bang.

That's what I call a dissertation.

impeccable, Laurence.

We look forward to the results.

Thank you.

Liu Xing, I believe, is next, who is being

very secretive about his proposal.

I'm his advisor

and I don't even know what it is.

This kid is quite brilliant.

- This is your boy, huh?

I'm looking forward to being surprised.

At present, the model doesn't explain

large voids seen by observer.

My model?

What if the voids are not empty at all,

but full of Dark Matter?

I will use Superstring Theory

to find a new Dark Matter particle

that su- sur- surpre-

- Suppresses?

Suppresses galaxy formation.

Well, I think I speak for the Chair

and for Professor Small in saying,

we're all impressed with

your tremendous creativity,

but there is no guarantee that Superstring

Theory will predict such a particle.

You need to change

your dissertation proposal

and pick a problem

that you know has an answer.

Okay?

Unless he wants to be a grad student
