Dark prediction: Dark star made of dark matter could lead to entire dark universe
[NYPOST] Nothing is important. We’re almost sure it’s there. But we don’t know what it is. But this nothing could control the fate of the universe. And there may even be entire solar systems made of it.Physicists have been grappling with dark matter — and dark energy — for decades. It’s where many of our laws of physics disappear in a puff of smoke. We know gravity. We understand gravity. But there simply isn’t enough stuff in our galaxy — and the known universe — to explain why things are where they are. Something must be producing 80 percent of the gravity at play. Something we can’t see. That something is proving to be remarkably elusive. It’s “dark” because we don’t understand what it is. Some of the world’s most complex — and expensive — experiments have done little more than offer tantalizing tastes of what could be out there. But even the Large Hadron Collider hasn’t yet isolated any particle that could possibly explain what dark matter is. Posted by: Fred 2018-10-28 |
