Is dark matter 'natural?' Physicist puts the question to the test
Dark matter is one of the oldest open problems in physics. It makes up most of the matter in the universe and shapes how galaxies form and move, yet no one has ever directly detected it.
AI Summary
Dark matter remains an unsolved problem in physics, accounting for most of the universe’s matter and influencing galaxy formation and motion. Despite its importance, it has never been directly detected. Physicists have suggested many possible explanations, including exotic new particles and primordial black holes formed shortly after the Big Bang. These candidates represent the range of theories currently being explored to identify the nature of dark matter.
