Is there any way to get samples of dark matter?

NO we can not get the samples of dark matter as it is the type of matter in astronomy and cosmology that can not be even seen with telescopes.


Can 'dark matter' be used as a type of slingshot for travelling at speeds faster than light?

yes this can be done!


How much dark matter is there?

Dark matter shows itself by its gravitational attraction. This type of evidence comes in many different forms, for example, our galaxy rotates way to fast for the amount of known matter, therefore, there must be some unknown matter.Dark matter shows itself by its gravitational attraction.

What is it about dark matter that has scientists saying that eighty five percent of the universe is missing?

Try not to confuse two things that have nothing in common other than their present description having the word "dark" in it. Dark matter is SOME type of matter that interacts with othe matter via gravity, but is not visible to us. It appears to some type of matter that does not interact at all, other than via gravity. What is it? We don't know -- hence the name "dark" matter. Based on the observation of its effect on rotations in galaxies and the bending of light from distant sources, we estimate there is five times more mass in our Universe that is composed of dark matter than the stuff we understand -- stuff we call "baryonic matter" or "luminous matter." Where dark matter exerts a gravitational pull, tending to bring galaxies closer together (or at least slow down the rate at which they are apart from each other), dark ENERGY is something that tends to make galaxies become further apart from each. As best we can tell, it is an inherent proper of empty space itself -- ie, whatever dark energy happens to be, it would exist even where there was no matter whatsoever. Based on the measured ability of dark energy (what EVER it happens to be -- never forget we have NO idea what this stuff even IS) to make entire galaxies move apart from each other, we estimate that the amount of energy in the Universe that is "dark" is much greater than the amount of all other energy -- and that includes all of the mass that is in dark matter! As the pie chart below shows, about 74% of the energy of the Universe is in dark energy, about 22% is the mass in dark matter, about 3.6% is in the mass of gas between galaxies, and a measly 0.4% is in the mass of stars in galaxies. This means we understand only about 5% of our Universe!


What type of dark matter are WIMPs supposed to be?

No one has any idea what Dark Matter is. WIMPs are just one of many proposed theories for what it is. Another is that it might just be ordinary matter in a "parallel universe" only a millimeter or so away from our universe, but in one of the invisible 7 dimensions of the 11 dimensional Spacetime required by String Theory.

What's the dark matter in the universe?

Dark matter is matter of an unknown type. It is known to exist, due to its gravitational influence, but it is not known what it is made of. There is at least 5 times as much dark matter than "normal" matter.

Where can you find dark type Pokemon?

What is the physical property of non-matter?

Perhaps you should first clarify what you mean with "non-matter". There are a lot of things that could fall under that category: perhaps antimatter (which, however, is a type of matter, but with some properties to "normal" matter); energy (which, however, does have a mass equivalent, so it is also "matter" in a way); dark matter and dark energy (both of which also have mass!); empty space, etc.

What is the universes most common matter?

According to current estimates, the mass in the Universe is made up of: * 68% dark energy. Not much is known yet about this type of substance. * 27% dark matter. Not much is known about this type of substance, either. * 5% regular matter - matter of known composition. Most of the regular matter is in the form of atoms; and most of it is in a state of matter known as a plasma.

What is the state of most of the matter is the universe?

The most common type of energy/mass in the Universe is in the form of dark energy, followed by dark matter. Only about 4% of the Universe is in the form of "normal" (baryonic) matter. If it is specifically to this matter you refer: the most common state of matter is plasma, found in stars.

What kind of energy is matter?

The only kind of energy that dark matter is -- well, MATTER. Or mass, if you prefer, which is the same thing. We don't know what KIND of matter this stuff is, hence the name "dark." The only two things we know about dark matter is that (1) it interacts with baryonic matter via gravity but (2) it does NOT interact with baryonic matter via the electromagnetic force or the strong force. At this point, we're still working on what type of matter would do that.
