If you don't live in a big city in Poland, you can observe many stars at night. Did you ever wonder how would look our sky in the next millions of years if we would count only on existing proven astrophysical theories and calculations? It would be absolutely empty. All celestial bodies in the galaxy are rotating around the biggest black hole in the middle of galaxy (in Milky Way this black hole is 6.4 billion times heavier than our sun) with such speed that the gravity generated by galaxy’s observable matter could not possibly hold them together. This leads us to conviction that something we cannot see is at work and is giving galaxies extra mass, generating the extra gravity that galaxies need to stay intact. Something, that will ensure us that our sky will remain the same as it was a million years ago. The official name of this strange and unknown matter is the “dark matter”.
Unlike normal matter, dark matter does not interact with the electromagnetic force. This means it does not absorb, reflect or emit light. In fact, researchers have been able to infer the existence of dark matter only from the gravitational effect it seems to have on matter that we already know. Dark matter seems to outweigh visible matter making up about 27% of the universe. The visible matter we know and that makes up all stars and galaxies only accounts for 5% of the content of the universe! So if there are so many dark matters, can we buy an invisible stick made from it to hit billiard ball and amuse our friends with a no-touch shot? Unfortunately, it’s still not available on eBay (I didn’t check Amazon). Many theories say that Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is able to produce dark matter, but they don’t ship to Poland.
But if you will put aside jokes if that mysterious matter were created at the LHC in Cern, it would escape through the detectors unnoticed. However dark matter would be able to carry away energy and momentum, so physicists could infer their existence from the amount of energy and momentum “missing” after a collision. Some cool theory suggests the existence of a “Hidden Valley”, a parallel world made of dark matter that doesn’t have too much in common with matter we know. I’m very glad, that at the moment I am not able to experience that matter in any way, cos it would be very unpleasant to stumble on something that I cannot see.

It is very interesting. I am fascinated by cosmos and specially by black holes and quantum physics which is in some way connected to the subject of dark matter.
2. If it was available buy on eBay or Amazon dark matter stick would you like to buy it?
Of course yes but could I afford it ? :)
3. What would you use it for?
Probably for nothing because I would couldn't find it :D
2. If I could afford it, I would probably buy it :)
3. Honestly I don't know but it's cool to have piece of dark matter on my own.
However, I would keep the dark matter to myself and not tell my friends about it.
Of course you can! Unfortunately, you were looking for vain, but be vigilant. 😇Maybe they just sold out or at black fridays they will be at a great price. 💸
We like having gadgets, even if we don't know what to use it for.
2. Of course I would buy. Everything that is related to such topics and possible to buy must be bought by me. Of course if I can afford it, but I think that such a gadget would be expensive.
3. It's hard to imagine what it could be used for, but I would probably find something to use it for.
I love the space subjected topics in general. Since, we are only an atomic matter in our milky way, there is always something waiting to be discovered. Although, in Futurama the dark matter was using for the fuel of the spaceship. (See also: Lord Nibbler)
2. If it was available buy on eBay or Amazon dark matter stick would you like to buy it?
Not on the time when it's introduced for sure, but I'd wait for the V.2.0, so the first got cheaper.
3. What would you use it for?
probably i'd create a microverse
1. What do you think about the subject of dark matter?
I can’t help the impression that dark matter is an easy excuse for us not understanding the universe around us. From the calculations, for the universe to behave as we experience it, there should be much more mass (dark matter) and energy (dark energy) than we can weigh or measure. So we have introduced a brilliant trick (being dark matter and dark energy) to the math and now it works out.
Of course, I am no physicist so I can only offer layman’s view on the (dark) matter (pun intended). If it is not just a math trick, it would mean that there is much more to learn than we have imagined. The thought that there is a special kind of matter that we cannot interact with in any way is both thrilling and disturbing. I hope that some brilliant minds will find a way to observe it.
2. If it was available buy on eBay or Amazon dark matter stick would you like to buy it?
Not really, as there is no way for me to use it, see it or perceive it in any way. Maybe I already have one?
3. What would you use it for?
I would motivate my invisible horse to move, when I am not feeding it invisible carrot.
It is quite fascinating mostly beacause it sounds almost magical to me.
2. If it was available buy on eBay or Amazon dark matter stick would you like to buy it?
Yes, especially with a beer glass in the bundle.
3. What would you use it for?
To learn to play after all this years and maybe for some jokes as poking stick for my friends.
1. I think that this is a very interesting, intriguing, magical and at the same time very dangerous thing available in the universe. We don't know very much about dark matter.
2. I saw dark matter stick on darkweb but it was horrendously expensive and I think it's a scam. For stupid people :D
3. Probably I'd delete Sejm Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej located in Wiejska street, haha :D
1. What do you think about the subject of dark matter?
Every space topic is really fascinating, so is this about dark matter!
2. If it was available buy on eBay or Amazon dark matter stick would you like to buy it?
Not really, probably it wouldn't even be affordable for me, but selling empty box sounds like easy money :)
3. What would you use it for?
Resell it to people who'd like to play with invisible stick ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Still too few proofs and studies on the subjects to jump to conclusions or have enough material to base an opinion on.
2. If it was available buy on eBay or Amazon dark matter stick would you like to buy it?
It probably would be too expensive, and I doubt such thing will ever be in wide market.
3. What would you use it for?
Hard to tell, again, too few info on the subject about capabilities and potential hazards related to it.
2.If, you could buy it, I would certainly be interested in it, but I think it would be very expensive.
3.I would wait for the price to grow and sell it at a profit.
2. If I could make an invisible billiard shot with it, I would probably buy it: D
3. I think to do some magic tricks
2. No i don't think so. Dark matter is belived to not interact in electromagnetic way.It would mean that it cannot be touched by humans whose bodies are made of atoms that rely on those interactions, so wat's the point of buying something i cannot touch
3. Since dark matter shows signs of repulsive gravity I would like to try using it for hovering cars maybe? It would allow us to not only travel in more convinient way, while avoiding the traffic, but also reduce the emission of gases and help our environment.
2. Yes, I would.
3. I really don't know. I might prank my friends.
2. Well, I think I would not buy it purely because of the fear of the fact that it may carry in itself. Since it can be dangerous if you do not follow any conditions. I believe that every particle carries a threat as well as benefit.
3. I suppose, except for the universe, it is not known how it can be used and what function it performs in our universe. That's why it's hard to say
2. I doubt I'd have any practical use for it, but it would still be nice to have such thing. Let's look how amazing and badass it sounds - "I have dark matter stick". Even if you'll never use it, it's a must have ;)
3. I'd probably put it somewhere and lose forever :<
2. I definitly would.
3. Poke the hell out of my friend's and act like nothing happend :D
2. I think I would buy it out of curiosity
3. Right now I have no idea what I woul use it for.
But moving to the next two questions, honestly, I don't have any idea what would I do with a black matter if I would possess it... maybe I would try to resell it with a great profit.
2. Definitely no, I wouln’d buy it for all the world! The power of dark matter terrifies me too much. I just wouldn’t know what to do with that stick, I’d be afraid to use it, because we still know very little about dark matter so I think it could be dangerous.
3. As I said in the previous answer I wouldn’t use it, because in my opinion if you don’t know how something works you shouldn’t touch it. Inappropriate usage could cause very serious, irreversible damage.
2. I do like watching the stars and all, but I don't think that this stick would be useful for me. Also if the stick was available for all people it would not be that rare.
3. As I mentioned in the second question, this 'product' would not catch my attention, so I would rather not use that.
If it will be available and I could afford it then I will buy for sure. But i totally clueless about usages, so will hold on until I will find out how to make use of dark matter for my evil deeds.
Of course, I would buy dark matter. But I have no idea how to use it. Maybe later people would come up with a use for it.
2. Of course, that I would like to to buy black matter, but it would depend on the price :D. But why do I need black matter if I couldn't use it for a specific useful purpose?
3. What would you use it for?
No idea.
2. Propably not. As i mentioned in previous answer: I don't have a lot of knowledge about this matter so I wouldn't invest money in this.
3. I wouldn't use it because I wouldn't buy it, as i mentioned earlier
I think dark matter is a really interesting topic to discuss but unfortunately, we must wait a while to get more knowledge about it.
2. If it was available buy on eBay or Amazon dark matter stick would you like to buy it?
It hardly depends on its price but if I could afford it without any problems, why not.
3. What would you use it for?
I would test its limits and try to have fun with it.
I can't say what I think about it, in a reason we nothing know about this matter: what it is, what Physical property it has - nothing. We even don't know for sure if it really exists
2. If it was available buy on eBay or Amazon dark matter stick would you like to buy it?
No. Maybe if it is available on the market it will have a fairly high price, so I don't think I would buy it for fun (unless it would be very useful)
3. What would you use it for?
Depends what it can do. I know about this matter only that it isn't visible
2. Probably not. As far as I know we can interact with dark matter only gravitationally, so having dark mater is like having really heavy slab of metal that you can not see or move in any direction. Pretty pointless.
3. Not much due to the fact that there are not many options 🤷🏼♀️
Dark matter is a very effective and fascinating subject. I wonder if mystery can be solved after a certain time. I hope i can see those days. :))
2. If it was available buy on eBay or Amazon dark matter stick would you like to buy it?
It would certainly be too expensive for my money.I would read the news about the dark matter bar and try to find out what it was like.
3. What would you use it for?
I thought what I could do, but I didn't think of anything.
Well, it's kind of weird to buy dark matter stick to make something with it. I am actually don't know what I could do with its help. Maybe, I could solve some world matter problems? Clean the ocean from plastic? If I could control spread size and its power..
2. I don't think so. Maybe I'd like to see how it works, but I wouldn't buy it.
3. I don't know.
2. Of course, I would like to have my own black metter stick, probably I will never have a chance to get one, but it would be great.
3. I don`t know what I could do with this, but I will try to use it if it is possible to make new alternative energy source.
It is a bit hard to understand for me, but this is my guess, the analogy is that matter is like a fish in the sea, a human on the land, and dark matter is sea water and air. The seawater in the oceans occupy the vast majority, the fish is only a small part, the land is full of air, and humans only occupy a very small part of it. The seawater breeds fish, the fish can only survive in the water, and the water is the medium for the survival of the fish. But the fish does not feel the existence of water. Just as people generally do not feel the existence of air, but the air is indeed the only medium for human beings to survive. Human beings are nurtured and survived by the air.
2. If it was available buy on eBay or Amazon dark matter stick would you like to buy it?
No, I don't think I will have enough money to buy it, the most important is I have no knowledge about it and I am afraid it might get me killed somehow.
3. What would you use it for?
I hope it can let me travel the time, if no, then go to the kitchen, be in my stomach soon.
2. It would be priceless, no one would be able to afford it.
3. There is no evidence that dark matter is even possible to interact with other particles. It doesn’t even interact with light. I don’t think o could do much with it.
As for the gadget, the price would not have to be super expensive. It depends on the demand and the number of suppliers :).
2. It's a great decision. I would probably do that too. Although would curiosity keep me waiting?
3. This is a very interesting proposal. I wonder how many people would come up with the same idea.
2. I would keep the dark matter to myself and not tell my friends about it.
2. Alcohol would definitely stimulate your imagination.
3. I see that you liked my idea of the stick. Friends would be surprised. That they would not use it on us.
2. It was very likely that it was a scam. Maybe someday the real version will be available.
3. uu sounds pretty scary but interesting. Maybe it's better to give them more consideration.
2. It's a pity. However, I understand that this can be a good deal for cheaters.
3. haha you would have your first customer ;)
It is a pity that you could not answer the other questions. They were playful and I was counting on your creativity rather than serious consideration of the problem.
You have an interesting idea to use this. I like it very much.
2. What a pity, maybe one day the sentence. Even to experience and own development in the field of physics.
3. A fantastic idea. This would give us greater driving comfort. Maybe someday you'll be able to submit it at the car convention and achieve success.
Of course you can! Unfortunately, you were looking for vain, but be vigilant. 😇Maybe they just sold out or at black fridays they will be at a great price. 💸

2. Pity, maybe you'll change your mind soon. Lack of knowledge is not an obstacle for us. the only question is whether we want to enlarge it?
3. Very interesting idea. It would help in your dreams.
Let your imagination carry you away. We don't know how much it can cost or whether you won't win the lottery tomorrow :D
2. What a pity. Maybe soon you will change your mind and you will be interested in buying this amazing gadget (power).
3. I do not agree with you. We don't know that yet. In fact, I wanted to move your imagination and read about your crazy idea for it.

2. Definitely the best marketing slogan. It sounds like fun if it doesn't sell.
3. Too bad it will mean that you don't use it very often.
These questions were meant to stimulate your imagination and I wanted to read about your crazy idea. Profitable sales are one of many good ideas.
However, I would keep the dark matter to myself and not tell my friends about it.
2. Don't worry about the price. It's just your speculation. Try to buy at black friday at a great price.
3. Try to move your imagination and find something unconventional.

2., 3. The stick is only my proposal and an idea of the use of dark matter. I wanted to know your fascination about the use of dark energy. For now it is not available and it is only speculation.
I am glad that you will be interested in buying. Don't worry about the money. Maybe at the beginning it will have a good discount. Anyway, the price of iPhones is also large, and so many people buy them;)
I am glad that you will be interested in buying. Awaken your imagination to use this gadget. Maybe it will be something related to programming?
2., 3. Don't worry about money. I wanted to see your fascinations about this gadget. Maybe it won't be that expensive or you can buy it in Asia for very little money.
These questions were meant to stimulate your imagination and I wanted to read about your crazy idea. Profitable sales are one of many good ideas.
it can help us in galactic transport. At this moment, black matter is just theory to explain various physical phenomena.
2. For now, we do not know what it applies to the end, but probably if it was available, why not?
3. For nothing, because you do not know what it is?
So if dark matter comes on the market, I'll be one of the first buyers. And I would like keep it for myself.
