By definition, "dark" (look up what that word means!) matter can not be seen.

What is behind dark matter?

This is still a work in progress. Scientists are trying to answer this question. All we know is that it provides gravitational attraction, yet it can't be seen through any means. The presence of dark matter is inferred from the movements of matters that we can see, such as stars, galaxies, etc. But dark matter does not emit or reflect any light. This is the puzzle.


What does a one-Angstrom microscope allow scientists see?

A one-Angstrom microscope allows scientists to see individual atoms. At this scale, scientists can study the arrangement and behavior of atoms within materials, which is essential for understanding the properties and behavior of matter at the atomic level.


Is it true dark matter cannot be seen?

Yes this is true. We have recently discovered dark matter exists with the help of the Hadron particle collider, but can not see dark matter. (not yet any way)


What the unverse is made of?

The universe is primarily made up of dark matter, dark energy, and normal matter. Normal matter includes atoms and particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons that make up stars, planets, and the things we see around us. Dark matter and dark energy are mysterious components that scientists are still trying to understand.


How do atronomers detect dark matter?

Gravity. We cannot see or directly detect "dark matter", and the only reason why astronomers talk about "dark matter" is that galaxies like the Milky Way appear to be spinning too fast for gravity to hold them together. Or at least, for the gravity of the mass that we can SEE to hold them together. Gravity comes from matter, and we can't see enough matter, so it must be "dark matter". This may be in the form of trillions of invisibly-dim brown dwarf stars, or in black holes from which no light ever escapes - or it may be something entirely new. "Dark matter" is the something new.


How much matter is estimated to exist in the universe?

The estimated amount of matter in the universe is about 27% of its total composition. This matter includes galaxies, stars, planets, and other celestial objects. The rest of the universe is made up of dark energy and dark matter, which are still not fully understood by scientists.


Does anyone no if you have proof dark matter exists?

The 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 the dark matter one can see in the brain?

The dark matter one can see in the brain is known as glial cells. It is now thought that one type of the glial cells, the astrocyte may be involved in information processing.


How is dark matter formed?

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


What shape is dark matter?

A lot of it is probably more or less spherical. You see, "dark Matter," as distinguished from "dark Energy," which is really mysterious, is mostly just ordinary matter, which we can't see because it isn't lighted, either by nearby stars or its own heat. There could be numberless dark worlds out there just cruising through space; alternatively, dark matter could be finer than dust. The only thing we can say for sure is that there's a lot of it.


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.


What is the use of dark matter?

Dark matter is sort of a cosmic scaffolding, holding galaxies together through sheer abundance, and since it only interacts with matter gravitationally, you cannot see it, and nor can you detect it....yet.
