"Dark matter" interacts with baryonic matter -- ie, the stuff we understand -- via gravity but not in any other significant way. Not via the electromagnetic force, nor via the strong force, possibly not even via the weak force. What this stuff happens to be is still being debated.
Dark matter, however, can NOT be simply energy in our cosmos. If it were, it would push space apart -- which is what dark energy is doing. Dark matter, on the other hand, is doing the exact opposite -- it is pulling space (and the matter within it) into it. Thus, dark matter is SOME kind of matter (or mass, which is the same thing) which, at present, we don't fully understand yet.
What else can I help you with?
Is normal matter the opposite of dark matter?
no actually matter is well matter that we can detect but dark matter is there just we can't detect it but we do no it's there because everything is either matter or engery but we can dectect engery so it's darkmatter
Is dark matter dangerous?
No, it is invisible, however it got gravity. No one actually come up with a theory that explain what dark matter really do, so there is still a Noble Price waiting for people to come up with a explanation of dark matter.
Does a shadow particle exist like the ones from his dark materials trilogy?
The shadow particles were dark matter. Dark matter is a hypothetical matter that explains why the universe is the size it is (essentially, the universe isn't expanding as fast as predicted and adding dark matter makes the predictions match reality). Very little is known about dark matter - it's called dark because it can't be seen. Because so little is known about dark matter, we can't actually say they aren't "particles of consciouness", but it is sadly unlikely.
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 do dark matter and dark energy in common?
They're both theoretical constructs and neither has actually been detected, measured, nor "seen".
Can dark matter kill you?
The whole point of dark matter ... the thing that makes it "dark" ... is that it doesn't interact with normal matter except through the gravitational force (and, possibly, for some potential types of dark matter ... remember that nobody really knows what it actually is yet ... the weak force).One type of dark matter that we know about for sure is neutrinos. Around 65 billion neutrinos per second pass through every square centimeter of your body perpendicular to the direction of the Sun. They have been since you were born ... since before you were born, in fact. Even at night, because they go straight through the Earth too and come up through the ground on the side facing away from the Sun. The kajillion that have already done so haven't killed you yet, it's not all that likely that the kajillion and first is going to kill you.About the only reasonably possible way to die from dark matter would be if there were a lot of it concentrated in one smallish area, in which case you could be pulled apart by tidal forces if you were in a spaceship that went too close to it. This also isn't likely to happen.
What does dark matter and dark energy tell us about the future about the universe?
Currently, nothing at all, because we have no actual "dark matter" to study. "Dark matter" and "dark energy" are entirely hypothetical concepts which may - or may not - have any relationship with anything that might be considered "real". When we actually have something to study, THEN we may be able to approach an answer. But right now, "dark matter" is less real than one of Dr. Seuss' monsters. .
Is dark matter related to antimatter in any way?
No, dark matter is entirely different from antimatter. For one, we know a lot about antimatter and have been able to do experiments with it and actually utilize it in some nuclear reactions. Dark matter is a theory to help understand why the universe does not behaive the way we believed it should. Galaxies are showing that they do not have enough mass to have the gravitational effects that they do, so there must be matter somewhere, this is labeled as dark matter.
What is a dark matter microscope used for?
A dark matter microscope is used to indirectly detect and study dark matter by analyzing the impact it has on the distribution of visible matter in space. By observing the gravitational effects of dark matter on visible matter, scientists can infer the presence and properties of dark matter particles.
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.
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.
