The existence of dark matter has not been confirmed. It was theorized to explain discrepancies between the masses of astronomical bodies and their gravitiational effects on each other.
Some astronomers are moving away from the idea of dark matter and adopting new mathematical models to explain these issues.
though more study is on the madder and scientists have seen traces of the matter. but it is not yet comfirmed if it is just space dust hey were seeing

∙ 11y agoDark Matter is matter which is non-luminous (meaning it does not radiate light as stars do) and interacts gravitationally (meaning it has mass) but may not interact with conventional matter collisionally, meaning it goes through ordinary matter. We do not know what it is nor do we know how to make it.

∙ 14y agoThe clear answer is, we don't. We cannot detect the hypothetical "dark matter", and the only reason we are talking about "dark matter" is that we cannot actually see enough mass in the Milky Way galaxy to account for the gravity that we know must be there - because the Milky Way would fly apart with only the mass that we can see.
The "dark matter" may be in the form of invisibly-dim brown dwarf stars, or black holes, or "something else". Dark matter is the "something else". Everything you read about dark matter is a guess.

What is a dark matter microscope used for?
There's no such thing as a "dark matter microscope." The whole point of dark matter is that it doesn't interact with electromagnetic radiation... if it did, it wouldn't be 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.
When was Dark Matter - series - created?
Dark Matter - series - was created in 2004.
What is the temperature of dark matter?
At present we do not know. It might be almost motionless, it might have a high velocity, it might have a velocity near that of light. These three hypotheses of the nature of dark are called (respectively); cold dark matter, warm dark matter, and hot dark matter.
Is the universe matter?
The Universe contains matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy, empty space - and of course, lots of structures made up of those.The Universe contains matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy, empty space - and of course, lots of structures made up of those.The Universe contains matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy, empty space - and of course, lots of structures made up of those.The Universe contains matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy, empty space - and of course, lots of structures made up of those.
Where is the largest dark matter in the universe?
Dark matter is everywhere, there really is no place that has the most dark matter.
Is dark matter a subatomic particle?
Dark matter is an unknowm form of matter.
What is a dark matter microscope used for?
There's no such thing as a "dark matter microscope." The whole point of dark matter is that it doesn't interact with electromagnetic radiation... if it did, it wouldn't be dark matter.
What is the scientific term for the opposite of dark matter?
The opposite of dark matter is visible 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.
What is formed when elemenst of matter are chemically combined?
Compounds are formed when elements of matter are chemically combined.
What can matter not be?
dark matter
What is formed from a dark gray cloud?
I would expect rain to be formed from a dark grey cloud.
What colour is dark matter?
Dark matter is invisible. It doesn't interact with light.
When was Hooray for Dark Matter created?
Hooray for Dark Matter was created in 2005.
When was Cold Dark Matter created?
Cold Dark Matter was created in 1992.
What is the ISBN of Particle Dark Matter?
The ISBN of Particle Dark Matter is 9780521763684.
