Dark matter's strength is proportional to it's mass. This means that more dark matter in one spot is stronger then a little bit of dark matter in that same spot.

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.


What kind of energy is matter?

The only kind of energy that dark matter is -- well, MATTER. Or mass, if you prefer, which is the same thing. We don't know what KIND of matter this stuff is, hence the name "dark." The only two things we know about dark matter is that (1) it interacts with baryonic matter via gravity but (2) it does NOT interact with baryonic matter via the electromagnetic force or the strong force. At this point, we're still working on what type of matter would do that.


Where is the largest dark matter in the universe?

Dark matter is everywhere, there really is no place that has the most 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.

What is the connection between magnetism and dark matter?

Not much is known about dark matter, but it is believed to interact with normal matter ONLY or ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY through gravitation; its interaction through the other forces (electric and magnetic forces, the strong force, the weak force) should be inexistent, or insignificant.
