The word "opposite" is ill-defined here.

Also, we really don't know what dark matter is, so it's kind of pointless to talk about its "opposite", whatever that is supposed to mean.

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.

What is the scientific term for the opposite of dark matter?

The opposite of dark matter is visible matter.


What is the opposite of Dark Energy?

There is no opposite of dark energy in the sense that there exists something that is the exact opposite of dark energy. Dark energy speeds the rate of expansion of space, even empty space, and gravity, mass, or matter causes the opposite in that it causes a decrease in the rate of expansion of space in areas that have matter.


How is dark matter important to the earth?

everything has an opposite, without dark matter normal matter would therefore be unbalanced causing the earth to be disproportionate and explode


What is the opposite of dark matter?

Ah, isn't that a lovely question! The opposite of dark matter would be what we call regular or visible matter, like the trees, mountains, and fluffy little clouds we see every day. Just like how light and shadow come together to create a beautiful landscape painting, dark matter and regular matter are essential parts of the vast canvas of our universe.


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

How does one spell the opposite of dark?

The opposite of dark is "light."


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.


Is dark matter actually matter?

"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.


Is there an opposite to everything?

The opposite of 'everything' is 'nothing'. Yes. Everything has an opposite ... but some people might say say, 'Well, there is no opposite of a giraffe!" But considering that a giraffe is made of matter and the opposite of matter is anti-matter, then everything does have an opposite. Conversely, it could also be argued that anti-matter is the opposite of matter, not of giraffe.


What is the opposite of dark matter and how does it interact with the universe?

The opposite of dark matter is regular matter, which includes everything we can see and touch. Regular matter interacts with the universe through electromagnetic forces, such as light and heat, and makes up stars, planets, and living organisms.


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.
