The afterglow of the Big Bang contains fluctuations that perfectly match models requiring large amounts of cold dark matter to have seeded the formation of the early universe. 🔬 Leading Theories on Its Nature
In the 1970s, astronomer Vera Rubin discovered that the outer edges of spiral galaxies rotate just as fast as the centers. According to standard physics, the outer edges should fly apart unless held together by a massive, unseen halo of matter. La materia oscura
A hypothesized type of neutrino that does not interact via the weak force at all, making them harder to detect than regular neutrinos. 🛰️ Current Search Efforts The afterglow of the Big Bang contains fluctuations
Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light. Because it does not interact with the electromagnetic spectrum, it is completely invisible to traditional telescopes. A hypothesized type of neutrino that does not
