What else can I help you with?
Dark matter is detected because it?
Dark matter can be detected because it got gravity.
How does a black hole gobble dark matter?
Not much is known about dark matter, but pressumably, it would react to gravity just like normal matter.
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.
Where do you get the dark matter?
Dark matter is all around us, inside and out, is what holds the forces of gravity together, keeps it from flying apart.
What is the connection between gravity and dark matter?
When the total amount of mass in a galaxy is computed, and the total amount of gravity is calculated there is a discrepancy. There appears to be more matter in the galaxy than what can be observed. Dark matter was theorized as being matter that exists but does not interact with electromagnetic radiation. Because of this, it cannot be seen. That is why it is called dark matter.
If gravity and acceleration are the same how do we know dark matter isn't dark acceleration?
Gravity and acceleration are definitely NOT the same. Gravity and acceleration can have the same EFFECTS.Dark matter is some unknown substance, which provides gravitational attraction. As a result, just like any regular matter, it will accelerate any nearby matter. But calling it "dark acceleration" doesn't really solve the mystery of what it's made of.
Littlebigplanet dark matter what is it?
Dark matter and Light matter. They are tweakable, anti-gravity materials. Dark matter and light matter have the same effects but just look different. Very useful for creating floating platforms so it is best to use them in a platformer.
How are stars dust and gas similar to dark matter?
The only similarity we know of is that they all seem to interact with gravity. Aside from that, scientists do not know what dark matter is.
Are all black holes made of dark matter?
No, dark matter is quite a different kind of thing. A dark hole may have absorbed some dark matter, but pressumably that would become indistinguishable from the normal matter, once it gets crushed by the enormous gravity of the black hole.
What hold the Virgo cluster together?
The gravitational pull of its members and dark matter
What is the estimated universal mass percentage of gravity-lensing dark matter?
Dark matter is estimated to be responsible for about 27% of the total mass-energy in the universe (normal matter is a bit under 5%)."Gravity-lensing" is essentially a meaningless phrase here; all mass causes gravitational lensing, so there's no such thing as "non-gravity-lensing" dark matter.
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.
