What's the dark matter in the universe?
Asked by Demetris Boehm
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.
IE = mc 2 I being information. Now we know what dark matter is. Observe it at a human sensory level it becomes normal matter. Could this be possible?
Asked by Norman Hannaford
No, this is not possible. Dark matter is a form of matter that is undetectable by human senses, because it does not interact with any of the four fundamental forces that affect the visible universe (electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, and gravity). Therefore, it is impossible for dark matter to become normal matter as observed at a human sensory level.
What are the properties of dark matter?
Asked by Aisha Wiza
Mainly that dark matter interacts with dark matter and with normal matter via the gravitational force; and that it DOES NOT interact with normal matter via any other known force. Or, if there is any interaction, it does so to such a small extent that it hasn't been possible to detect this so far.
