Best Answer

In astrophysics [See Link], weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, are hypothetical particles serving as one possible solution to the dark matter problem.

If they exist, they will be everywhere.

However, because WIMPs may only interact through gravitational and weak forces, they are extremely difficult to detect.

A white dwarf is a former?

White dwarfs are no longer undergoing fusion, so while they are initially very hot ... white-hot, in fact ... they slowly cool and eventually become black dwarfs, completely burnt-out stars. We don't know of any black dwarfs, because by definition they don't emit light and because the universe isn't old enough for any stars to have cooled that far yet. It's estimated based on known physics that it would take about a million billion (1015)years for a white dwarf to cool to the temperature of the cosmic background radiation, and possibly longer than that if WIMPs or proton decay exist.


What is the emptiness of outer space made of?

Well, space is made out of atoms. Atoms are thought to be the smallest thing on Earth but it may not be true. You all know that everything even us are made of these tiny particles called atoms. Atoms is the thing that has created the universe. Bing Bang also known as the birth of the universe occured along long time ago even before our sun yet our solar system was created! This couldn't have happened if the tiny particles called atoms and what atoms are made of AKA isotopes. To understand this scientists use a formula to reduce their information and open it up into tiny information to lead to the big fact. Now, when all these atoms formed a big big ball of gas,dust, and electrons it exploded and that's how it happened! After that galaxies started to form by themselves. So atoms could be known as the smallest thing on earth is what the unverse is created of! Surprising isn't it?
