Nobody knows yet. Stay tuned.
No scientist has yet to figure out a successful way of gathering dark matter as of yet. Maybe in future time it will come. But i have been getting up some thought as of lately. Please forgive me if i sound stupid i have'nt really put tons of thought into it really(and it kind of goes of track), but if 70% of the universe is dark matter, I've recently watched a video with Machio Kaku, talking about warp drive and how they will have to bend the space time continuum to even get to other planets or universes. You will need either nuclear fusion or the capability to burn or use dark matter, and i thought to myself what if you could create a generator that could suck in space or the possible dark matter around it. Know im not a physicists or anything and this my sound like the rambling of an idiot but, Think about it, if there is dark matter all around space and people and the power of fusing atoms to get infinite amount of energy whichh could allow them to bend space why not have something that could gather or trap that bend space that hold dark matter and use it for energy. But even if i made sense that could cause problems huh. That would most likely leave a tare in that space and who knows what could happen. But this is just something that im just throwing out their from my mind lol.

∙ 13y agoPossibly. IF "dark matter" exists, then there is a good probability that we will eventually figure out how to detect it and manipulate it.
But we don't KNOW that "dark matter" actually exists, and that it isn't just a mathematical fantasy. If it doesn't really exist, then we'll probably never detect it.
But the search for knowledge routinely pays off in unexpected ways, a phenomenon that we call "serendipity".
There is an ancient tale about three princes from a land called Serendip who are sent out to find magical treasures. They never found the magical treasures, but they DID find many other fabulous things, and so the word "serendipity" means to find one thing while searching for something else entirely.

∙ 13y agoProving its existence is not the problem - the existence of dark matter is fairly certain. There are lots of indications that it does, indeed, exist. Dark matter manifests itself through its gravitational attraction.
The problem is figuring out what it is made of - that's one of the great mysteries of modern Cosmology.

∙ 12y agoNo. The think that makes dark matter "dark" is that it doesn't interact strongly with the electromagnetic force ... while we don't know exactly what dark matter is, that's the one thing we do know about it.
The sense of touch is based on electromagnetic force, so it would "feel" about like touching a shadow... i.e., like nothing at all.
It's entirely possible that dark matter is constantly streaming through your body, not interacting with the normal matter that makes up your atoms so you don't even notice it.

∙ 12y agoThe evidence for the existence of dark matter -- matter with mass that does not emit light -- is overwhelming.

∙ 13y agoNobody knows how to produce dark matter, mainly because, so far, nobody knows
whether dark matter really exists, or what it consists of if it does exist.

Is dark matter the force?
Dark matter and The Force are not the same thing. The Force is a fictional power that connects all things. Dark matter is a real-world, theoretical matter that figures into physics and mathematics.
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.
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
Where is located Dark Matter?
All over the dark expanse of space.
What is the ratio of dark matter to ordinary matter in a universe?
We're not certain that "dark matter" even exists, or what the proportions of "normal" to "dark" matter is. I have read some articles saying that the ratio might be as much as 20-1; 20 parts dark matter to one part normal matter, but these are predicated (I believe) solely on rough calculations based on the perceived mass of the galaxy and its apparent rotational speed.There appears to be a great deal of speculation and estimation in these calculations.One important trait of a scientist is to NOT GUESS about things that we don't know, and to admit the boundary between the known, the believed, and the unknown. Even if the current hypotheses about dark matter and dark energy turn out to have some basis in reality, we will certainly be surprised by the truth when we finally learn it.
Dark matter is detected because it?
Dark matter can be detected because it got gravity.
Dark matter can be detected by its?
Dark matter can be detected by its gravitational effect on nearby stars, causing them to very slightly alter their relative motions.
Can Astronomer's directly detect dark energy and dark matter?
Dark matter and dark energy have NOT been detected yet, so any ideas about detecting dark energy and dark matter, whether it be directly or indirectly, is speculation for now.
Why do astronomers theorize that most of matter in galaxies and clusters is dark matter?
Dark matter may be invisible to light, but it can still be detected, through its gravitational interactions. Specifically, it can be detected: * By the fact that galaxies rotate way too fast, for the amount of known matter. * By gravitational lensing.
What do dark matter and dark energy in common?
They're both theoretical constructs and neither has actually been detected, measured, nor "seen".
Is dark or anti-matter been found or saved with the use of the collider?
"Anti-matter" . . . yes, routinely. "Dark matter" . . . no way to know. The reason it's called "dark" is that it can't be seen or detected in any way currently available to us; its existence is a hypothesis that's presently untestable.
What do astronomers speculate makes up at least 90 percent of matter in the universe?
Cold dark matter. It can't be seen or detected by its radiation. Some say that ranks it with Bigfoot and the Tooth Fairy!
What is an axion?
The axion is an hypothetical particle, which has never been detected. It was born as an elegant solution to the problem of CP in strong interactions and is one of the candidates for dark matter.

What percentage of the universe is dark matter?
Roughly 70% of the Universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 25%. The rest, everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter - adds up to less than 5% of the Universe. That is, with the knowledge and the proof that both dark energy and dark matter exist rather than inferences.
What are some possible forms the dark matter in the halo of the Milky Way might be in?
We don't yet know enough about dark matter - or even if it really exists - to be able to speculate on what "form", if any, it might take. You have to remember that "dark matter" is entirely theoretical, based on the supposed fact that the Milky Way doesn't have enough mass to keep it together, and that therefore there must be additional matter that we can't see - "dark" matter - to keep it all together. We've never detected any, nor do we know if we CAN detect any.
How do we know dark matter must exist if we can't sense it?
Actually, we CAN sense dark matter - we just can't see it, since it doesn't interact with light or other electromagnetic waves. Dark matter shows its presence through its gravitational attraction. For example: our galaxy, the Milky Way, rotates way too fast for the amount of known matter. So, to remain stable, there must be additional matter that can't be seen. Dark matter can also be detected through gravitational lensing - the amount of gravitational lensing depends on the amount of matter. Once again, the effect is greater than what can be attributed to known matter.
