Dark matter is sort of a cosmic scaffolding, holding galaxies together through sheer abundance, and since it only interacts with matter gravitationally, you cannot see it, and nor can you detect it....yet.

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.


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.

Can you use dark matter as a weapon?

Fortunately, no. Dark matter interacts with fermionic matter only via gravity, and thus dark matter could not be contained or manipulted by any means. Even if you could manipulate dark matter and send 10^13 kilograms -- about the mass in Mount Everest -- of the stuff against an enemy, the only effect would be a few millimeters of movement as the dark matter went through the target. A ten gram bullet would be a more effective weapon!

Dark matter can be detected by its?

Dark matter can be detected by its gravitational effects on visible matter and light. It does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to telescopes. Scientists use indirect methods like gravitational lensing and measuring the rotational speeds of galaxies to study and detect the presence of dark matter.


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.
