It is precisely because of it's mass that it's even theorized that Dark Matter exists. We notice the movement and behavior of certain areas of space far from us that we cannot see the matter that is effecting it. It was theorized that there must still be something that is affecting that space, regardless of whether or not we can see it. This unseen matter is called Dark Matter.
If it did not have mass, it would not be affecting the space around it, so it's purpose for being theorized would be meaningless.
What else can I help you with?
Where is most of mass located?
Dark Matter.
How strong is dark matter?
Dark matter's strength is proportional to it's mass. This means that more dark matter in one spot is stronger then a little bit of dark matter in that same spot.
Matter in the universe that is undetectable but has mass is called?
Bagel bitesDark Matter
What percentages of universal mass are claimed by dark energy dark matter and visible matter?
About 95.7% of the universe is dark matter, and the remaining percent (4.3%) is made of normal matter, plants, gases and such.
Is gravity dark matter?
Gravity is not matter (dark or light), it is a property of mass and space that results in forces. Matter and force are entirely different things.
Does dark matter possess any mass and energy?
Yes, dark matter has a lot of mass. It makes up about 20% of the universe (much more than regular matter). Since it has mass, it also has energy. In fact, dark matter's mass is the main reason we even know it exists. Astrophysicists can observe its gravitational effects, though it is extremely hard to detect in any other way.
Why is a neutrino a candidate for dark matter?
Neutrinos are attractive candidates for dark matter because they are known to interact weakly with other particles, making them difficult to detect. They are also abundant in the universe and have non-zero mass, which could contribute to the overall mass content of the universe. However, current evidence suggests that the combined mass of neutrinos is not enough to account for all of dark matter.
Which is thought to be more prevalent in the universe dark matter or dark energy?
Dark energy. The current estimates for the distribution of mass/energy in the Universe are approximately: 68% dark energy 27% dark matter 5% baryonic (i.e. "normal") matter
Unexpected orbital velocities of stars around the centers of galaxies led astronomers to predict the existence of dark?
These helped predict the existence of dark matter. Dark matter in astronomy is used appear as the result of mass, where no actual mass can be seen.
Does dark matter co exist with black hole?
Hypothetically Yes - But then dark matter is expected to be very pervasive in the cosmos, and pretty much associated with normal matter. The prevailing hypothesis is that dark matter presence is accumulated consistent mass density; i.e. the more mass density, the greater the accumulation of dark matter. However, important as dark matter is thought to be in the cosmos, direct evidence of its existence and a concrete understanding of its nature have remained elusive.
What accounts for most of the mass in the universe?
Current theory states that it's "dark energy".
What is dark matter and normal matter in space?
Dark matter are exotic and poorly understood forms of mass in the universe, and normal matter are basically common phases of matter found on Earth, such as solids, liquids and gas.
