This is a guess. I think what we see in the sky above is repeated out in what we call space where there is less gravity.

During the day, we have a flat sky= Dark Energy. Filled with clouds= Dark Matter. From collected particles, our clouds on Earth can form rain, hail, snow, lightening, thunder, etc.

Space is a repetition of the process we see happening in our own atmosphere during the day.

What we are naming the Higgs field is a space cloud/gas. Our galaxy is contained in a cloud. Our planets are the particles within it. The black hole our galaxy revolves around is a space tornado.

This tornado creates gravity for everything within our space cloud.

The froth a probe has recently discovered at the outer edges of our galaxy is the edge of the cloud that contains us.

The big bang was some kind of thunder in space sky that created all the space clouds that have since gone on to collect all matter, to form galaxies and planets and us. (Just like the clouds on Earth collect dust particles to form snowflakes.)

Therefore, in what we call space, Dark Energy is the universal sky and Dark Matter the clouds in that sky. The Earth is just a minute speck of dust within one of these space clouds.

I think we should keep on sending probes to beyond our galaxy, into Dark Energy to discover once they move beyond the outer edges of our cloud, if they lose their mass and fall apart or become something else. A raindrop or a snowflake, perhaps?

This is taking a step back to visualise the universe as something simple, based on what we see, without too many confusing labels.

Is there any logic in this simple thought or do I have my head in the fictional clouds?

No and unfortunately most assuredly yes

I think we should keep on sending probes to beyond our galaxy,

Just fyi, you may be confusing solar system with galaxy here but not one single probe has been launched with the intent of exiting the galaxy.

No..... and yet................ no. Just not OK? I admit that I did once try to draw a parallel between the red appearance of a sunset with redshift but it was only an analogous comparison, and had no actual practical basis beyond that. So no space is not ... absolutely NOT a repetition of the process we see happening in our own atmosphere during the day .......ever.

What we are naming the Higgs field is a space cloud/gas. Our galaxy is contained in a cloud. Our planets are the particles within it.

Now if you are going to invoke the Higgs Field in such a manner could we at least stick to an established concept such as the ether? Please??? Pretty please?????

This tornado creates gravity for everything within our space cloud.

Makes just as much sense.
Ditto Mr.S etc.

Actually I am rather pleased with the progress towards establishing the existence of the Higgs Boson as we now have what I presume (and please correct me if I'm wrong) to be something that could be viewed as an ether field? No?
