Wherever you look, galaxies and galaxy clusters are observed to have much more mass than the sum of the known matter (stars, dust, gas, black holes). Galaxies rotate too fast for the known amount of matter, galaxies in a galaxy cluster move too fast, and gravitational lensing indicates a larger mass than the known masses.

Can you make a box out of dark matter?

Not much is currently known about the structure of dark matter. For a start, it was never directly observed. There is only indirect evidence for dark matter. Therefore, it isn't know what types of structures it forms, if any.


What is the evidence for the existence of dark matter in the universe?

The evidence for the existence of dark matter in the universe includes the extra mass of Galactic clusters discovered by Fritz Zwicky, and the spinning galaxies which rotate at the same speed as discovered by Vera Rubin.


Is dark matter a reality or made up becauseof the lack of matter in the univrse?

There is a lack of OBSERVED matter, but it is quite clear (due to gravitational effects), that dark matter indeed exists. There are all kinds of pieces of evidence in favor of dark matter. It isn't known yet what it is made of.


Why do astronomers theorize that most of matter in galaxies and clusters of galaxies is dark matter?

most of the mass in a cluster of galaxies is invisible, which provides astronomers with the strongest evidence that the universe contains a great amount of DARK MATTER

Do black holes interact with dark matter?

Important as dark matter is thought to be in the cosmos, direct evidence of its existence and a concrete understanding of its nature have remained elusive. Dark matter is expected to be very pervasive in the cosmos, and pretty much associated with normal matter. The prevailing hypothesis is that dark matter presence is accumulated consistent mass density; i.e. the more mass density, the greater the accumulation of dark matter. Note: Dark matter is hypothesized to play a central role in state-of-the-art modeling of structure formation and galaxy evolution. All these lines of evidence suggest that galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and the universe as a whole contain far more non-baryonic dark matter than normal baryonic matter.


Can 'dark matter' be used as a type of slingshot for travelling at speeds faster than light?

No, dark matter cannot be used as a slingshot for travelling faster than light. Dark matter interacts gravitationally with normal matter, but we have no evidence that it can propel objects faster than the speed of light.


What evidence is there of existence of dark matter in the galaxies?

The motions indicate a greater gravitation pull than from what we see.


Does dark matter co exist with black hole?

Hypothetically Yes - But then dark matter is expected to be very pervasive in the cosmos, and pretty much associated with normal matter. The prevailing hypothesis is that dark matter presence is accumulated consistent mass density; i.e. the more mass density, the greater the accumulation of dark matter. However, important as dark matter is thought to be in the cosmos, direct evidence of its existence and a concrete understanding of its nature have remained elusive.


What evidence is there of the existence of dark matter?

The gravitational effects. For example, gravitational lensing; also, galaxies spin way too fast for the amount of known matter.


Why do astronomers theorize that there is dark energy in the universe?

There are several pieces of evidence for dark matter. For example: * Our galaxy, and many other galaxies, rotate way too fast for the amount of known matter. * Evidence from gravitational lensing.


Could dark matter consist of black holes?

Dark matter is a mysterious substance that makes up a large portion of the universe's mass, but its exact nature is still unknown. While some theories suggest that dark matter could potentially be made up of black holes, this idea is not widely accepted among scientists. More research and evidence are needed to determine the true nature of dark matter.
