What is the relationship between "black coffee & Milk. ?When you Pour milk into coffee ?

When you pour milk into coffee you get a "spiral" like a Galaxy . Not like when you pour oil into water You get bubbles/sphere. Could this be the relationship between dark matter and what forms the the stars?

    Hector, it would have been more interesting if you have asked this question in Philosophy, for in that way we could have pondered on the philosophical significance of the two. Now, you are expecting some explanation in the scientific viewpoint because you have asked in the Astronomy section. It has lost its poetry a bit.

    I'm now tempted to answer that you get as a result of this creamed coffee, hehe. Whereas, if in Philosophy , we would be delineating in the possibilities of opposites uniting in harmony. Or with the races of mankind in mind, we could have declared in grand fashion that the "blacks" and the "whites" uniting could produce a superior mulatto breed having the combined characteristics of the two. Or that mankind as a whole has so many colors, but one race they are, without distinction of outward coloration.

    But now, what could I say? This is even short of being a good model for the galactic events. Much less, for dark matter and the stars. But you can never be blamed for having such splendid imagery. Remember when that apple fell down on Newton? Ordinary men could have just cursed the tree for not being good in holding its fruit. But not Newton. Just like you who could see the stars and galaxies in the coffee cup, Newton saw the "world" in that apple, and consequently, he thought of "gravity." If that apple fell on me, what do you think would have I done? I would have also thought of the "world." But more specifically, of when it was still a virtual garden where the apple tree was. Well, as I was eating the apple, I would have looked around. I would wonder where Eve is throwing the apple from.

    It is interesting that you find a perfect coffee visual to express what you think happens with dark matter in forming the stars. I think it's pretty darned close. Consider that we also have a "milky way" galaxy--so named because of how it looks in space. But that is just the visual.

    As for the relationship...you are describing the mixture of what would be light and dark matter. Are you seeking to describe just the physically occurring relationship that we can see, or are you addressing the more minute/microscopic or philosophical aspects? We may be able to estimate that relationship based on what we can see, but getting into the nitty-gritty of astrophysics would be projecting more than what I feel comfortable sharing. (Also known as: "beats me!"--LOL)

    Blessings!

    Not entirely - it's more a question of viscosity than anything else. The fundamental nature of oil is that it can't be diluted, not like milk can. Dark matter is something else entirely, and it's got more to do with hidden mass that we expect to see in the universe, but don't. The stars form when gravity serves to collect enough material and compress it to the point of nuclear fusion.

    I suppose it's possible that dark matter serves to start this gravity collection, much in the same way a grain of sand is at the heart of every pearl, but that sort of conjecture is beyond my experience or expertise.

    It won't take any nutrients away from the milk. However you will have so little milk in it that it probably won't matter much anyhow. How much do people use in coffee. An ounce at most, usually less. I don't think anybody really needs to worry about that.

    Truly an intriguing question. My favorite author about these types of queries is Michio Kaku, and he and Ms Jennifer Trainer wrote the book "Beyond Einstein" awhile back. Below is his website about the many phenomena that he looks at.

    Below is an interesting clip to find out why the the universe behaves as it does. It asks if it expand,contract,or is stable and what will be the eventual outcome of this?

    What you pose in your question takes dark matter into consideration. And that is a search we must continue.

    Take care.

    You go to Starbucks, order a coffee the milky way and then go use the toilet to get rid of some dark matter. Yes, it is very similar.

    Um, yeah, sure. I'm going downstairs right now and drink me a cup of this dark matter. Hold the cream.
