Because - scientists have estimated that the mass of the universe should be more than it apparently is. Ttherefore the only logical explanation to explain the difference is 'dark matter' (until they find something more 'concrete' to provide an answer.!
Yes this is true. We have recently discovered dark matter exists with the help of the Hadron particle collider, but can not see dark matter. (not yet any way)
'Dark matter' and 'dark energy' have not been observed or proven yet.
What exists at the center of a black hole. Why is dark matter unaffected by photons. What is dark energy. Examples...
That is because the dark matter attracts normal matter through its gravitation.
We know that dark matter exists because it got gravity, though it is invisible. It hold galaxy and Universe. There is a theory there many other parallel universe outside our universe and dark matter holds those universe up and some scientists says that dark matter are just mass of the matter of the parallel universe. It sounds crazy but that is the Law of Physics. However there is not exact explanation of what dark matter really is, so there are still Noble Prices for those who can come up with a reasonable explanation
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.
i think mass :)
Yes, they do.
Dark Matter is required to exist because without it all galaxies would fly apart. In our Milky Way Galaxy Dark Matter accounts for 90% of the entire mass of the galaxy. Dark Matter is simply that, Dark. As it cannot be seen and has a very weak force. It only interacts with gravity.
Most matter in the universe exists in the form of dark matter and dark energy, which are currently not fully understood by scientists. These two components make up the majority of the universe's mass-energy content, with ordinary matter (protons, neutrons, electrons) making up only a small percentage.
Dark matter is a mysterious substance that does not interact with regular matter, so it is unlikely you would be able to walk through a wall made of dark matter. Our current understanding of dark matter is that it exists in a halo around galaxies and does not clump together like regular matter to form solid structures like walls.
Dust, gas, dark matter, perhaps individual stars and planets.
