Dark Matter

Dark matter was first adopted as a theory in the 1930s. Studies of dark matter have progressed so much from the start of the belief. Even today, some people are still skeptic about dark matter and don't think it exists. A few years ago, dark matter was supposedly "felt" in a deep mine in Minnesota, but most people believe that is was just different particles and neutrons in the air. There are believed to be multiple different species of dark matter.

So what is so important about dark matter? Actually, Dark matter is believed to make up a quarter of all mass in the universe. It is invisible, and contains many answers to questions scientists have been trying to answer for years. Dark matter can explain how galaxies form. The Milky Way is believed to be surrounded with a cloud of dark matter. Also, just outside our galaxy is Galaxy X, which is believed to be made up mainly of dark matter, making it invisible.

I found this article to be very interesting, and you probably will too. Dark matter is something that can unlock many secrets to science. I'm not sure that they will be able to unveil those secrets in the next five years or so, because dark matter seems to be a difficult thing to study if you are a scientist, but I'm sure it is worth while. Go and check out the articles below. I was very intrigued when reading this and you will too!
