Scientists May Have Finally ‘Seen’ Dark Matter For The First Time Ever

Scientists May Have Finally 'Seen' Dark Matter For The First Time Ever

For centuries Dark Matter is mysterious and unknown. This is because it does not emit, absorb or reflect light, making it invisible and impossible to observe directly. Its existence is only inferred through its powerful gravitational effects on visible matter and the overall structure of the universe

Scientists have wondered for decades if such exotic objects exist. But there’s been a recent surge of interest in finding them and there may be a lot of signs to look for it. Primordial black holes across the universe could be leaking energy. Their gravity could be bending starlight. Some might even be showing up stars from the inside out.

Cosmologist Bernard Carr predicts we’ll know if primordial black holes exist within the next decade. He added, “I would bet you, say 60 or 70 percent that they exist,

Now new news is emerging about those unknow mysterious. Scientists may have “seen” dark matter for the first time by the help of NASA’s Fermi gamma-ray space telescope. If this is true, this could be the first detection of the universe’s most mysterious substance “Dark Matter”.

Dark matter was theorized in 1933 by astronomer Fritz Zwicky, who found that the visible galaxies of the Coma Cluster lacked the necessary gravitational influence to prevent this cluster from flying apart.

Then, in the 1970s, astronomer Vera Rubin and colleagues found the outer edges of spiral galaxies were spinning at the same rate as their centers, something that would only be possible if the major amount of mass in these galaxies wasn’t concentrated at their centers, but rather more widely dispersed.

As we know that these aren’t direct observations of dark matter but of course inferences made using dark matter’s interactions with gravity as well as the influence gravity then has on ordinary matter and light. Still, because of these findings, astronomers have since calculated that all large galaxies are embedded within vast haloes of dark matter that expand way beyond the limits of visible matter in galaxies.

The particles of this mysterious substance are now estimated to outweigh the particles that make up everyday matter by a ratio of five to one. Now everything we see around us on a day-to-day basis like stars, planets, moons, our bodies, next door’s cat and so on all account for just 15% of the matter in the universe with dark matter accounting for the other 85%.

The mystery of dark matter is the fact that, because it doesnot interacts with electromagnetic radiation and doesn’t emit, absorb, or reflect light that is the reason, it is effectively invisible in all wavelengths of light or at least.

If the mystery of dark matte is sorted out, this could be the biggest breakthrough in the modern astronomy.
