On EVAs in low earth orbit after they come thru the airlock their suits smell like burnt metal or welders smoke. A smell has mass we detect with nasal receptors it take a molecule .06 microns to activate your receptors. This size is about the same as a smoke particle. This just completely baffles the PHDs to no end so they ignore it. Smells in space have been noticed on first on Gemini EVAs Why is there a smell in a vacuum in low earth orbit. A smell does have mass and spead over the vast universe this little smell could vast amount of stripped atoms and moecules that are missing components and maybe a negative charge and the spacesuit fiber attract and cling to the suits.The smell on the moon smells like spent gunpowder but another smell in a vacuum. I just want to see how many think that a smell has mass small but mass just the same.
I wanted to run this past NASA and see what the PHDs think. Be fun to get a giggle until they realize over the whole of the universe would be massive 20% missing matter. The smoke of the stars if you will.

There's a very high deja-vu with all that...

Has that not already been discussed and debunked?...

Indeed.

I thought it was established that the smell was just small particles of ordinary matter that travel with the spacecraft into orbit and then cling via static electricity to the astronauts spacesuits. Hardly sufficient to qualify as dark matter.
